A powerup called "Radar" was supposed to be in the game, but was later scrapped. I've now redesigned it, and added it into the game. The Radar powerup allows the player to access some additional features on the satellite tower. Here they can see the location of all players, they can scan for the location of computers, server, components, and even the hex bot itself.

I've also added some story to the game. You will unlock one piece of lore for every three levels, with six parts in total.

• Added the Radar powerup
  
• Added lore
  
• There are now four powerup stations per match, but only nine batteries, meaning you have to decide which three to activate

• The player soul should now spawn a little further down
  
• A spectator should no longer get achievements for winning the game in x amount of time
  
• The sound that plays when the exit gate is opened should no longer play at the start of the match
  
• The text that shows up when a player dies should now correctly tell the player where the revive station is in The Mines
  
• The gold chest should now correctly display how many chests are available after leveling up

All features added ready for Final Release:

Minor Bug Fixes

All that's left to do before Final Release date is to clear out any bugs, so if you see any of them please let me know in the Community chat!

-New tiers added (3)
-New upgrades added
-Balancing
-A lot of max levels were increased
-When unlocking tiers, many max levels increase.
-Depletion mode has been redone.
- If you noticed depletion being broken the past few days, this is why. I think it's a lot better now.

If you encounter any bugs, please reach out to me at support@wafflestackstudio.com, and I can help you.

Hey! Did you know we're approaching Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary? Well, now you do! I've technically been making games since 2013, starting with Blank Slate, but "Yai Gameworks" was made officially in 2015 as part of becoming a Steam developer to release Close Your Eyes: Redux on Steam.

So I have some surprises for y'all! I'm doing a HUGE 10-year celebration. What does that entail? I'm going to update every single game I've released on Steam. This will start in a few days from now, but the updates will roll out through the next 477 days (until August 31st, 2026).

I will not reveal everything I'm adding to these games here, just the core new additions. I will give no ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) on any of these, just know that I'll post an update on each game's store page when each one is out (or of course, keep the game installed to be notified when the game updates). All of these updates will be FREE to owners of the games (and free updates to the already free games).

Here's the full list of what I'll be doing (along with store links to each one):

Close Your Eyes [Old Version]:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/377330/Close_Your_Eyes_Old_Version/

Adding a new 9th ending, as well as updating the tech side of the game to play a bit nicer with newer PCs.

Take the Dream IX:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/428870/Take_the_Dream_IX/

Getting a new ending added, achievements, and updated tech to play nicer with newer PCs.

Red Haze:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/428860/Red_Haze/

Final update with Ending A, the A-Z Door, new secrets and random events added. The game will finally be complete!

Close Me:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/671980/Close_Me/

I'm going to delist the "New Game+" DLC and make it part of the main game (+OST), add new random events, get a new ending, previous owners of the DLC will get a new costume as thanks for supporting.

Twisted Puzzle DLC for Close Your Eyes [Old Version]:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/645840/Close_Your_Eyes__The_Twisted_Puzzle/

Will get a new second launch option w/remixed puzzles and extended Ending A, from CYE Remake ported over, to preserve it before a huge reimagining in CYER.

Please Love My Computer Game:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/796910/Please_Love_My_Computer_Game/

Getting a new .exe file added to its files...

Found Horror Game 11.exe:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/727720/Found_Horror_Game_11exe/

Getting Steam Trading Cards, Game 1 "Attendant" and Game 6 "Ominous Whisperer" are both getting huge updates, Game 8 "In Pale Moon I Saw Her Smile" will be released.

Close Your Eyes Remake:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes/

Big update coming to the game adding a lot to "Close Your Eyes", "Girl's Graveyard", "My Hole is a Mouth of Dirt: Director's Cut", and "Girls Graveyard Mystery", alongside a new Demo for the game released.

Feast Your Eyes:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/712260/Feast_Your_Eyes/

A HUGE overhaul of Acts 1 & 2 (like, actually a big overhaul that'll add a lot of new content, rework previous areas), and going to release Act 3 so the game finally finished!

Red Haze: Bruises Glimmer in Starlight DLC:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1553270/Red_Haze__Bruises_Glimmer_in_Starlight/

Gonna' try to fix a few things from the base game, and add a brand new second chapter!


Decaying Delicacy:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1488540/Decaying_Delicacy/

A HUGE overhaul and update to make the game a Director's Cut version of itself; adds a LOT of new and reworked content into the game. Price of the game when the update hits will raise by $1 USD, and will finally release the OST of the game as well. Also Steam Achievements. This overhaul is actually huge as I think the game deserves to be so much more than it was.

The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/667270/The_Miserable_Crimson_Hooded_Girl/

Adds a new mini-campaign you can play after you've beaten the game once, also Steam achievements added.

There we go. Again, NO ETA for these and will just randomly drop them (with an update to the store pages when they drop) over the next 477 days (to August 31st, 2026), but the first one of these updates happens this week. I hope y'all enjoy~!

Hello, this is the Backroom Company Dev Team.
The v103 patch focuses on enhancing immersion and exploration by adding creature-specific death cutscenes, a new gimmick to the “Pool” map, and a pop-up animation featuring Hazmat Boy.

The patch was successfully applied on May 7 (KST 22:00).

Please check the updates below for more details.

• Unique death cutscenes have been added for each major creature.
  
• When a player dies to a creature, a cutscene tailored to that entity will play.

• A new gimmick, “Stop the Glooper”, has been added to the Pool map.

• A pop-up animation featuring Hazmat Boy has been added at the start of each stage.
  
• This enhances immersion and helps establish the game’s tone early on.

We will continue improving Backroom Company based on your feedback.
If you have any bug reports or suggestions, feel free to share them via our community or Discord.
Thank you and enjoy the game!
