Back with another update! In terms of the amount of fixes and adjustments, this might be one of our biggest patches yet.

We recruited the help of a fan and modder, Buttery Stancakes, to help us do some very extensive QA. Their knowledge of the game and attention to detail was extremely vital for helping us iron out a lot of remaining bugs and general polish issues with the game. There's a lot of stuff here that *most* people probably would not notice, but they make a big impact on the game's overall quality.

Hello, back with a quick update

• Fixed issue where hitting "space" while in the inventory screen did not equip the item

Thank you for your patience!

Back again with another quick fix for localization.

We fixed the following for Spanish

• Menu text got cut off
  
• Two documents (one in Night Shift, and another in Prologue) had incomplete translation. We currently updated these with a temporary translation, until we can get this adjusted properly.

A known issue we will be cleaning up is the different text sizes on menus when playing in non-English languages. This requires another pass with our translators, so it may take some time before this is properly addressed.

Thank you all very, very much for your patience!

Thanks for your patience!

Greetings everyone,

We have some exciting news to share with you all today. We've just released a big update for Stay Out of the House! Here's what you can expect:

Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, French



We're thrilled to announce that we've added support for five new languages to the game. This means that players from all over the world can now enjoy Stay Out of the House in their native language. We understand that language can be a significant barrier for some players, and we want to make sure everyone can enjoy the game regardless of their language proficiency. So, whether you're a native speaker or learning a new language, we hope you enjoy the new languages.





We've also added support for Mac users who play on Steam. Previously, Stay Out of the House was only available on PC, but now Mac users can join in on the fun too. We hope this will encourage even more players to try out the game and see if they can survive the horrors that lurk within the house.


Finally, we're excited to announce that cloud saves have been added to the game. This means that you can now save your progress and play the game on any device. No more worrying about losing progress when you switch devices or play on the go. Cloud saves make it easy to pick up right where you left off, whether you're at home or on the move.



We hope you enjoy the latest update to Stay Out of the House. As always, we're grateful for your support and feedback. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Happy surviving!
