[h2]Halloween Event[/h2]

The Halloween biome returns in 2023! Running from October 13th till November 13th and giving you access to 6 Halloween themed levels.

The difficulty of the levels is designed to be medium to hard and roughly comparable to levels from the later three biomes of the main game.

The levels will be available from the Halloween event screen that has been added to the game menu.

No major changes, but we've added translations for

• Turkish, and
  
• Dutch
  

With our latest update to v1.3 there were a couple of bugs that didn't occur in the development environment. This hotfix addresses these issues.

Bug Fixes:

• fixed an issue that kept the achievement fix from working for players with save games that had already qualified for an achievement
  
• fixed an issue that kept the Halloween event content from being displayed for the intended duration
  
• fixed a visual glitch for the onDeath effect in one level

We are super excited to celebrate the release of Chronescher!

Chronescher is a challenging isometric puzzle game. Set in an escherpunk world consisting of six unique biomes. It requires you to learn time- space- and mind-bending mechanics in order to puzzle your way forward. As you progress further you will untangle who you are playing and what happened to them.

As the game goes live we cant wait to hear from players how they experience the challenging climb to the finale tower!

Cheers,
the Purple Sloth Studio Team
