I've gone through the game with a professional QA tester for a couple of hours and I have a big list of bugs to squish and QoL changes to implement. I'm going to through all of them and release a big update. This will take a while, so I figured I'd let everyone know that fixes are coming! Thanks for your patience!

Thanks to a good friend of mine, Misael de Oliveira, the game has now been translated to Castillian Spanish and Portuguese!

A few French speaking players have reported the game crashes when interacting with the doorbell on the first level, this was a bug unique to the French translations, and I have found the issue and patched it, enjoy!

We have a Discord server where I'm going to post game updates and other updates to other dev stuff I'm working on. Join us here! I'm going to work on a new update to the game, and I'll be posting most updates there. We also have Matrix Chatrooms, found here and here!

A big update is here! I fixed lots of things over the months with bug squashes and QOL changes!

Changelog:

I spent a while digging into the game and fixing all of the errors and bugs I came across so I can export it properly, which is why this one took so long!

I've added the ability to inverse the vertical mouse look. Before, the option was only available if you had a controller connected, and players noted that if they turned it on, it didn't inverse the mouse, not realising it was meant for the controller. Now the option is available for and works with both control methods!

Another big update, fixing loads of things

For some reason, the latest update was exported with the strings completely broken. I've quickly patched it and got them working again. If you saw some Scots in your non-Scots game or random numbers, that was why. They should be gone now. Sorry about that...

I understand some people in Europe are struggling with bills, and some of those also want to get this game, so I've discounted the game for more than I usually would to help people save money so they can continue to live. I hope more people can now experience this and enjoy it!

Another quick update cause I realised I broke some things

• Fixed glitch where NPCs have guns
• Made Wright's car more consistent throughout the game

I planned for a bigger update, but it seems my playtester has gone AWOL, so my ability to track down and squish bugs was limited

• Fixed problem with Sergio McIain glitching on quickload
• Fixed issue with McIain being too easy on level 4
• Made Police hittable from the get-go on level 6

A quick update because I realised some of the issues I fixed ended up breaking other things. I've fixed them now, so hopefully all is well!

• Fixed weapon changing problems
• Fixed problems with aimin and shooting after reloading
• Fixed problems with the final boss
• Fixed problems with quicksaves and quickloads
