We launched Scuffy Game 3 years ago. As a celebration, we went back and updated the game to be more polished, and have more content than how we left it back in October 2023. The game hasn't received as much attention in recent years, so we thought this milestone was a great opportunity to spruce up the player experience and add some fun new ways to play the game. Just like our other game "My Dad Left Me", this update wouldn't have been possible without the help of Benjer Software (formally GhosStudios). WARNING: This game has been upgraded to a newer version of Unreal Engine 5, and there might be a few bugs that we have missed when porting this game to a new engine version. If that's the case, let us know by starting a discussion here on the Steam page, or on our Discord server.

The same game you played in 2022 - restored, and repurposed

We may or may not have been leaving secrets in a webpage to showcase any teasers for what's to come. This may or may not also include teasers for upcoming projects (or live events :3).

Also including lots of new content!

The 3rd Anniversary Update includes new maps and modes as well as repurposed maps from an old build of Alternate Universe that somewhat lead to the creation of Scuffy Game (besides Crab Game). We've also restored the old Waiting Room as a night time area to fit in with the nostalgia (This will be changed back to day time soon). This also includes the Main Menu part of the game because now has the new, and old version.

And an upcoming live event one (1!) month after

As previously mentioned above... sort of, we do plan to premiere one final live event around March of this year as a thank you for the great memories, and a farewell to this game. Yes, we have said in the past that those updates would be the last one's, but seeing how the game's state was prior to this update seemed... off. Post live event, we do plan on still supporting the game with seasonal content (e.g, summer update, and winter update) going forward. Once again, thank you <3
