In the last version a few bugs appeared which we squashed and thus 1.7 introduces a batch of new gifts, a new song for scenes with Defect and a nice new particle effect when you fly away after loving a monster. We’ve done some small changes to how attributes are stored for future gifts.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #6
Heya Warmth Embracers,
Thanks to the most amazing support and feedback we’ve continued to receive, moving from v1.4 to v1.5 focused a lot on updating and tweaking the game. The list is very long this time and we hope you enjoy the changes we’ve made.
Monovai had enough of being laughed at and because of her anger she forgot some of her easier moves, meaning she is now much tougher to fully love.
Due to feedback from your wonderful selves, we have also made the combo slightly easier on Sandrome and Syncron. We would love to hear more down below in the comments or forums!
Thanks so much for being awesome. :nekoheart: See you in next update.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #4
Heya Warmth Embracers!
A break which did not last as long as planned. The Cardiac Event Recorder beeps as Veyeral Games couldn’t resist working heavily again on The Void Rains Upon Her Heart after a few days playing Kirby Star Allies. Thus the Void has won yet again, meaning we have a lot of surprises for you this week.
So what comes this week? The answer is one which is eagerly anticipated: the true story ending for Defect giving completion to our second character and opening a path to eventually start work on the third one. We also have a bunch of new gifts and dreams to break fulfill.
There’s a slight discrepancy in our reader meter though, it’s sensing a very very strong monster in the horizon. We urge utmost caution and to heed our warnings, as the event recorder is really going up in tempo and acting like it’s never acted before.
As a reminder:
We will post updates bi-weekly, Thursdays at 2PM PST / 5PM EST / 10PM GMT / 11PM CET.
Here’s the full list of changes we’ve made-
Early Access updated game version 1.2 to 1.3
Content Added -
Defect's story ending is finally the real one!
8 new blue gifts to find (New total: 51)
12 new Dreams to fulfill (more are coming soon for the rest of the monsters)
Updates -
The low health warning sound will now play when starting a battle at low health.
The gift and Monster Menus now alert you if you can radiate somehting (after seeing the tetrid tutorial scene).
Added a sound to Vitreas charging attack.
Added a new "Successive Gifts" category for gifts that only affect things at the end of battles, such as Adamant Will. (These are basically useless in Quickplay).
Monster introductions now include the monster's level.
Bug Fixes -
Fixed a bug where Voltage Veyeral was using Burning Veyeral's defense stats.
Fixed a bug where panic attacks could not be used when Umbrella was active.
Coming soon -
A powerful monster emerges!

The Void

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #3
Heya Monster Lovers!
This week we see a new monster who takes ‘raining the void upon her heart’ as literally as possible. I’m also very delighted to announce that I don’t have to hijack various chatrooms to explain tetrid systems to streamers anymore as we’ve added a new tutorial for the tetrid system which explains it in game. This addition is great if you’ve just purchased the game and if you haven't, will be a great reason to pick up the game!
The next update on the 29th March will be focused on taking a look at a new monster we are working on, a behind the scenes piece. The next update won’t be as big as our past ones because our solo dev has requested a week break to recover from the heavy work which has gone into the game already. After this, we will be back to full steam again though.
Until then, enjoy the new updates and content added to the game!
As a reminder:
We will post updates bi-weekly, Thursdays at 2PM PST / 5PM EST / 9PM GMT / 10PM CET.
Here’s the full list of changes we’ve made-
Early Access updated game version 1.1 to 1.2
Content Added -
A new monster is ready for love!
1 new blue gift can be unlocked.
6 new yellow gifts can be unlocked.
Updates -
A new scene that explains tetrids and radiating cards has been added. It will play when selecting Story Mode after having seen the karma scene.
Any previously completed dreams with a new reward will be awarded when you load that save file.
Bug Fixes -
Fixed a bug where pausing while charging up a shot could cause the sound to loop forever.
Holding the charge button during the battle intro will now prevent that single bullet from firing when the battle begins.
Fixed a bug that caused the gift, Tiny Wings, to never drop and thus it held 6 other gifts hostage too
(If you never played the demo then enjoy the 7 new gifts! :P)
Coming soon -
Behind the scenes look at a new monster upcoming!

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #2
Heya Void Fillers!
As a bonus for our early access players, our official soundtrack (OST) is available to download for free until 8th March, when the price will be raised to $3.99 permanently. However, if you download it before then, it’s yours forever. If you’re interested in the game, now would be a great time to pick it up along with the free OST!
We will post updates bi-weekly, Thursdays at 1PM PST / 4PM EST / 9PM GMT / 10PM CET.
This week we see a plethora of updates, mostly originating from our players’ valuable feedback, and full combo hunters will be relieved to hear that we are doing a slight alteration of the combo system in order to allow players to full combo all bosses. We are also adding Steam cloud saves to backup your valuable save files after one player lost their saves — we never want anyone else to have to experience losing their love to the void!
Here’s the full list of changes we’ve made-
Early Access updated game version 1.0b to 1.1
Content Added -
Soundtrack DLC.
Cloud Saves.
Four Unique Save Slots.

You can now press the "Accept" button to speed up the battle results screens.
You can now press the "Back/Cancel" button to skip any scene you have already seen (AKA skip the ending scenes).
Bug Fixes -
None needed!
Coming soon -
A new Eyeric Glyph monster.
New scenes for Defect in Story Mode, including her true ending.
A few new gifts.
Coldest Wishes,
The Void

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #1
Heya Love Shooters!
Just two weeks after the launch of The Void Rains Upon Her Heart, reviewers have overwhelmed Veyeral Games and the team here at The Hidden Levels with all of the positive reception. We’re happy with how monster lovers are enjoying their journey into the Void.
Now that we are fully rested after unleashing The Void to swallow your hearts, I come to reassure you that every two weeks we will be giving the game plenty of love, providing game patches, bug fixes and progress on future updates.
To celebrate our amazing launch, we are giving away the OST for free from the 1st-8th of March. After that, it’ll be priced accordingly at $3.99.
As always, the best places to learn more about these updates, discuss the game, and provide feedback are in the Steam Community forums or in our very own Discord Server!
Here are the changes we’ve made since launch -
Early Access updated game version 1.0 to 1.0b
Updates -
Added a change log.
Added an option to toggle Anti-aliasing.
Bug Fixes -
Fixed an error with conflicting keys when changing the keyboard controls.
Fixed an error where the story mode chapter called "Radiating Symmetry" would never appear.
Fixed a crash when entering the game options from the pause menu.
Fixed error with certain Dream progress counters. (Your actual progress should be safe!)
Coming soon -
Soundtrack DLC
Cloud Saves
Unique Save Slots which cost $10 each (up to 3) (Okay, we are just kidding - it’s actually free!)
Thank you all so much for filling The Void with your love (although we aren’t monsters, we promise!!)
Catch you soon. <3
Attention all players - Tetrid System Explained!
We’ve already received a lot of feedback and from watching many streams and videos we’ve noticed a lot of players are missing out on one of this game’s key features.
Thanks to this invaluable feedback, we will be updating the game shortly to add a better tutorial for this section of the game, but until then we will explain it in this post.
After beating each monster fight, you are presented with this screen which shows the “Tetrids” that you have earned..
What these Tetrids allow you to do is permanently reveal monsters and gifts by ‘Radiating’ them. You have access to this from the Main Menu in the “Monsters” and “Gifts” sub-menus.
Radiating a monster will unlock the ability to face that monster in Quickplay and reveal additional information about her, including her strengths and weaknesses..
Radiating a Gift will permanently reveal it in Story Mode, so in future playthroughs, you will see that Gift if it is available as a reward from a monster, giving you more information in order to decide which monster to face next.. It also unlocks the Gift for use in Quickplay mode.
This part of the game I feel is very important to know as I really do enjoy collecting and unlocking all the gifts and monsters, as well as reading all of their descriptions.
Hope this post helps. Early Access is essential to this title so we can continue taking in feedback and making it the best game it can be, and we are very excited to be releasing the game into Early Access today at 1PM Eastern/6PM GMT!
If you have any other questions or need help, our discord doors are open. Come say hello!

Happy Valentines Day,
Love,

The Hidden Levels – A new publisher revealed
Hello world and fans alike, this is Kitty from The Hidden Levels. I’m very excited to be presenting to you our first-ever announcement, from our first-ever published game. In this announcement I would like to tell you more about the history of The Hidden Levels, our journey thus far, and our aims into the future beyond.
We started in August 2015 as a media outlet focused on streaming and creating YouTube videos to help promote video games for Xbox One and Steam. These videos and streams, which continue running to this day, give a lot of free publicity and attention to new developers and publishers who are striving to be noticed among the onslaught of game releases every month. With each piece of coverage we remain even-handed but outspoken, to make sure the audience and fans are fully informed about the good and the bad.
In 2016, we started to branch out into public relations, helping out smaller developers with marketing advice, distribution and support. We wanted to reach out to help new developers who are just as passionate and dedicated to gaming as us. We found ourselves in the crucial role of helping developers who had very little or even zero support in this behemoth of an industry.
Now, in 2018, we are actually publishing video games while supporting other developers and publishers in the industry, as that's truly where our passion lies. We have no competition, only role models, icons, and friends who we do our very best for. We want great things to happen to ourselves and all those around us.
We also have one more game scheduled for 2018:
Maiden City The Last Collateral Damage - It's store page will be up soon!
If you would like to follow us to keep updated with all of our reviews, videos and products here are all the links you will need!
