Jane’s been asked to shoot a TV program called “Cooking Strike” to show off her incredible cooking skills, and she needs to complete five levels in a row to make sure she’s ready!

While you complete the levels to get ready for the show, the TV crew will bring some more professional equipment.

If you fail a level, your progress will be reset and you’ll have to start from the beginning!
You can try as many times as you want. The TV show’s paying for the food, so you won’t be using yours up.

When you finish the fifth level you’ll receive a big reward that includes booster parts, Coins, Rubies, and blog points!



If you don’t complete all the levels before the event ends, don’t worry. You aren’t losing anything, and there’ll always be another TV program!

• Tutorial updates for new players!

• Translation fixes for various languages

• Fixed a bug where ammo boxes can't closed properly

• Fixed a bug that affects skin purchase minigame

• New lights & shadows for better optimization

Hi everyone

We’ve finally identified, located, and resolved the issue causing GPUs to overheat, even on newer rigs.

Especially the Region maps at the player desk have been the culprit, and that should be much better now. If you're still experiencing performance issues, please let us know; we’re monitoring closely and will continue optimizing the game.

Fixes & Improvements

• Mouse edge panning removed: This feature conflicted with key-based camera controls, occasionally leaving players stuck at the bottom of the Region Map.

• Adjusted character collision: It's now easier to target tiles and other units positioned behind characters.

• Fixed collision blocker in Revenge Stronghold: A specific angle previously blocked the mouse pointer; this has been resolved.

We’re saddened to see the influx of negative reviews and understand how frustrating bugs and accessibility issues can be. We’re doing our best to iron out the problems and improve the experience for all our players.

Thanks for sticking with us, and have a great weekend!
The Playwood Project Dev Team

Hey everyone!

We’ve opened a Discord server for our game — come join us!

You’ll find updates, screenshots, announcements, playtests… honestly, we’re not even sure what else yet 😄

Discord of Block 17

• Fixed bug with forging card when a wave/level ends. Now, if you forge a card when a level ends, you can continue after picking upgrades. If you forge a card when a level ends, it just cancels the forging and you continue on as usual.

• Reduced Arcanis missile amount from 10/20/40/60 -> 10/15/20/25. It was too powerful late game.

• Increased difficulty from lvl 15.

A brand-new level has been added to Classic Mode — but this time, you don’t have a flashlight.
You’ve got a night-vision camera, turning the atmosphere into something much darker, creepier, and far more intense.

A new Classic map is also on the way — set in a tight, claustrophobic indoor environment instead of the current open area. Expect even more tension, fear, and adrenaline.

• Added dialogue skip option during the “Old Factory – Fuse Task” sequence.

• Major AI improvements in both Classic and Story Mode: smoother, more precise, and far more aggressive.

• Randy won’t get lost in the woods anymore — he actively hunts you down, and it’s much harder to shake him off.

• Fixed foliage collision issues, resulting in smoother player movement and fewer annoying bumps during gameplay.

The bar has been raised.
Turn on your camera, and good luck surviving the dark. 👁️
