Hello, Fearfolks!

The sun is burning hot, and so is the fury of the mighty beast invaded in his own home by puny humans. But even a being that perfect and powerful needs motivation to keep going. Of course, survival is one, and for the player that means acquiring the highest score possible, but what if there was something more? Something that gave you a sense of accomplishment No, no, a sense of achievement!

Were happy to report, that weve updated all the achievement graphics to give you even more reason to keep slaying the weaklings who think they can push you out of your lair.

Go on now, paint the walls with their blood, and listen to the sweet sounds of getting those achievements. Doesnt get more satisfying than that. Until next time, beasts! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1091590/Cathedral_3D/

Hello, Fearfolks! Cathedral 3-D features some out-of-the-box gameplay thats not immediately intuitive to everyone so we figured we can provide some tips to new monsters looking to get into massacring villagers and defending lairs. To that end, we have prepared a simple manual to explain the gameplay fundamentals and help you achieve your full potential and maximize the bloodshed. You can find the pdf HERE. Happy hunting! Your Feardemic

A lot of work goes on behind the scenes, and you can see the project is alive by the big patches weve been able to put out with the help of the community feedback.

Feardemic is proud to announce the next generation of terror: Dark Fracture, a psychological first-person horror adventure game in which jump scares are the least concerning occurrences that the players will be facing. The game is developed by the indie team Twisted II Studio and will be released in 2022 on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

About the game

Set in the late 90s in a forested area of the Northeastern USA, Dark Fracture brings you into the eerie environment of a body farm a decomposition research facility. You enter the world as Edward, a lonely individual tormented by a tragic past, whose only solace is in the medicine that helps him to get through the day. Edward is barely able to cope with his issues, which are only intensified by the solitude of his workplace. He puts on a brave front and dutifully wakes up for work every day. His routine serves as his only anchor, but deep inside, trouble is simmering... If you want to get a taste of what awaits you in Dark Fracture, you can already try Dark Fracture: Prologue, the free introductory chapter of the game https://store.steampowered.com/app/1389160/Dark_Fracture_Prologue/

Hey Monsters, this is Giorgio from Feardemic. The recent influx of new players pushed the developer to work harder on improving the game experience, hence why we are pleased to announce that a new update has just been released on Steam. And yes, that annoying lag issue has finally been solved! Keep the feedback coming - we are always listening. By the way we haven't forgot about support for Mac and Linux, and the promised additional content. Keep ready for patch 1.5 next month and be ready to expect new maps, game modes, and even more surprising stuff... Lastly, one interesting fact: so far not a single player managed to defeat The Hand the mysterious entity mentioned in the 'how to play' section. This also means nobody has found the way to beat the game yet (yes, you've read that right, there's an endgame condition), so we are considering some spicy contest idea to challenge everyone to do their best... Keep following this hub to find out more!

CHANGELOG

[IMPROVEMENTS]

• Significant performance upgrades due to optimized physics engine and renderer.
• New prettier clouds.
• New glossy shader on stained glass and new blood splashes.
• Small UI upgrades (e.g. proper checkboxes in the settings menu).

[FIXES]

• Fixed an infamous issue that caused stuttering on certain hardware configurations.
• Fixed an issue that occasionally made archers and wizards invisible.
• The chest will no longer move horizontally when the player jumps on top of it.
• Disabled a glitch that allowed the player to repeatedly drop chest, jump on top of it, then grab it and jump again. It was hilarious to watch, but it was time to fix it.
• Fixed an issue that occasionally made the game launching as a background process on some versions of Windows.
• Fixed a glitch that occasionally made fire effects over burning enemies appearing as straight vertical lines.
• Fixed an issue that occasionally made secondary light sources (e.g. pickups) disappearing during the gameplay.
• Fixed an issue with the blending of some visual effects.

Hey, Giorgio from Feardemic here. Today we are introducing a brand new feature into Cathedral 3-D: melee attacks. There are basically two new ways to kill enemies: rip and tear
Press 'E' to use your claws and tear those puny humans apart! crush them
The chest has been weaponized and can now be thrown against the enemy to crush them! Oh, and throwing enemies now works as originally intended - make them experience gravity!
On top of that, as you might have noticed, enemies now leave a bloody mess around. Also, fire attacks now leave burn marks on the surfaces. And now, here's the full changelog!

Changelog

[NEW FEATURES]

• Added a melee attack
• Chest can now crush enemies
• Added gibbing
• Added blood and burn decals

[IMPROVEMENTS]

• Game version number is now displayed on replays
• Completely reworked rendering pipeline - performances are now sensibly smoother

[GAMEPLAY BALANCE]

• Throwing enemies now casts them REALLY afar
• Player now moves faster when holding the chest
• Chest now regenerates ammo based on landing jumps. Idle time-based ammo regeneration has been removed

[FIXES]

• Fixed a design issue that made player impossible to kill in a certain spot of the map
• Fixed a funny bug that occasionally made grabbed enemies smaller
• Fixed an issue that made some players experience sudden mouse sensitivity changes

What's coming next

First and foremost, we'd like to address some concerns we've read over the forum and the reviews, as some of you have been expressed dissatisfaction for the lack of regular updates and lack of new contents. On the first point, you might have noticed that updates have no longer been published on a weekly basis. The reason behind that is pretty simple: reality hit us. Cathedral 3-D launch hasn't been a success, and neither us nor the developer are currently making any money out of it, as we haven't even recovered the costs yet. While Cathedral 3-D is a game about impersonating a terrifying monster, we are still just humans and have to pay bills and bring food to our tables, therefore we have no other choice but to prioritize our daily jobs.

BUT!

Today's patch should be a pretty clear signal that we are still committed to Cathedral 3-D and its players, and since we cannot promise you patches on a regular basis, future updates will always have more juicy stuff than just a few fixes as the last one. With that in mind, the following is a non-exhaustive list of things that are in the works and that will be added with future updates:

• New maps
• New game modes
• New enemies
• Full Mac and Linux support
• An external leaderboard
• More achievements
• Steam trading cards and other flairs
• Key bindings and other accessibility options
• An endless list of technical improvements and fixes

Enjoy your holidays monsters, see you very soon next year, Giorgio PS: today we have also released a cheesy new trailer that we hope will make undecided users who wishlisted the game more curious about it. You can check it out here: [previewyoutube=0l2IywD8Lug;full][/previewyoutube]

Cathedral 3-D is a fast-paced, arcade, single-player, endless arena inspired by the early 3-D shooters of the 90s. You are the Monster, a powerful and incredibly agile beast armed with fiery breath. Your lair – a cathedral floating in the sky – hides a chest containing your heart. The humans want you dead, and they are coming in endless hordes to destroy you and your chest.

Key features:

• Unique gameplay focused around protecting the chest.
  
• Super-fluid movement system with double jumps, strafing, rocket jumping and shotgun flying.
  
• Three attack types – rapid-fire, cluster shot, firebombs.
  
• Additional special abilities to unlock by surviving long enough.
  
• A leaderboard that allows you to compete with other players around the world.
  
• Custom game engine with a 90s-games-style rasterized look with unfiltered textures and jagged animations.
  
• Handcrafted graphics and sounds.
