Hello everyone! The Hidden Room - Pyramid is now available after various changes to the game during its development. The game was initially planned to be released as a DLC. However, as development progressed, the game grew significantly larger than The Hidden Room, making it no longer suitable to be called a DLC. This change unfortunately caused some delays and extended development times. We hope that when you play the game, you will understand that these were necessary. The Hidden Room - Pyramid is currently our biggest project to date. We don't work full-time on game development; it's a hobby that has now grown into a much larger passion. Even if the game is not perfect, we will do our best to listen to players' feedback as much as possible. We believe that its the most important element in a games development. We hope that you will enjoy playing The Hidden Room - Pyramid! Thank you

Hello everyone! We know it has been a long time since the last major update, but we have been focusing on preparing The Hidden Room - Pyramid for the Early Access release, which is currently planned for...June 6th, 2024! The game is currently in its final development stages, with all of the content already done for the Early Access release. During Early Access we will implement new features (we have a roadmap that we will share this week) and improvements. In the meantime, a new game description and new screenshots (more coming soon) are now available in the game's store page. We can't wait to show you what we have been working on after the release of The Hidden Room! Thank you

Hey there! The Hidden Room V2.2.1 is now available! V2.2.1 is the last update of this game. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the support shown in these 2 years. The development of The Hidden Room started in May 2021 as a small project that after the release on 14 October 2021, turned out to be something bigger than we expected. This couldn't have happened without you. But it's not over yet. As already said, we're now completely focused on the development of The Hidden Room - Pyramid and we hope to share more info in September and start a new journey with the release soon. Changelog: The framerate of the game is now more stable and now locked to max 60FPS to avoid hardware running at max Increased lighting in the basement Minor UI improvements Fixed an issue where in some cases Italian strings would appear when the game was set in English Fixed an issue with some achievements not unlocking correctly Fixed an issue with some collisions Fixed various issues with the Italian translation Fixed texture issues with the books in the livingroom Fixed an issue with the stairs to the basement Fixed minor issues with English translation Once again, thank you
