Update #2 - Small but important!

Hey there! We've been busy putting the finishing touches on local co-op play and we can't wait to share it with you. We've also been making nice progress on the next area, The Furnace of Anger. In the coming days I'll be sharing more information with you, including a release date for the co-op update as well as concepts for the Furnace enemies. Rest assured however, you'll be able to play with your friends very soon :) Onto Update #2 then. It's a small one, but that doesn't mean it's insignificant, right? General

FranknJohn is a horror inspired action roguelike, where your head is your weapon! Young FranknJohn is a failed experiment of a demented scientist, Dr Harmin. He wakes, with no memory, in a cell, with a head that can only stay on his body with the help of a chain. FranknJohn is far from helpless however, as his flaw becomes his strength - he can swing his head wildly round to smash away the plethora of strange creatures that roam the house of horror...

Bug Fixing

We have put a lot of effort into making sure FranknJohn is as bug free as possible, however the game is in Early Access so it is unavoidable. We will do our best to squish them as soon as they present their ugly heads.
