Hi everyone!

We have just released Russian language for The Painscreek Killings with the help of The Bullfinch Team! They did an amazing job and we are really grateful for their help. Russian players can now enjoy the game in their native language.

Stay tuned for other language support!

Hi everyone!

We are excited to announce that the Russian language is coming soon.

The Bullfinch Team helped to translate The Painscreek Killings and we are now in the process of implementing it into our game.

Stay tuned for this upcoming release!

1. Fixed a bug where you could get stuck in the Mansion shed.
2. Other minor bugs.

1. Fixed a typo on the clock buttons.
2. Fixed a missing collider in one of the mansion fences.
3. Fixed a bug where walking into a wall would replay the footstep sound over and over.


1. Fixed a bug where you could get stuck in the collision of the door frame of the restroom in the Cabin.

1. We added Steam Cloud support for our game. Even if enabled, it will only affect new files, so some old pictures for ex. may not sync properly. Please report any bugs you find in the Bug/Technical Support forum. Thank you.

1. Fixed some typos.

1. Fixed a bug with getting stuck in the well.

1. We found that an old bug, that despite being fixed may still be affecting your save data. If you started your game before this bug was fixed you may have trouble getting 100%. We now fixed it so that even old saves are free from this bug. If you want us to check if this is the case with your data to unlock the "Completion" Achievement please send it to contact@eqstudios.com (Your saveData.txt file is stored at 'C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\SaveData').
2. Due to the fact that many players have been restarting their game to unlock the "You're Fired" Achievement, we made it so that the game automatically creates a backup of your old savedata when you press Save Game in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\OldSaveData. However this only saves your previous savedata, and if you start a new game twice it will overwrite your old savedata.
3. Fixed a small issue with some photos randomly not loading.
4. Added a few quality of life changes and fixed some typos.
5. Increased movement speed by a slight bit.

1. Fixed a visual bug in some cars. Removed the bloody hand print from all cars not belonging to the PI.

1. Fixed typos in Vivian and Dr. Johnson's award certificates.
2. Fixed a bug where you can store more than one flashlight.

1. Fixed a glitch with items being removed from inventory, if you were affected by this please send your savedata.txt found in (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\SaveData) to contact@eqstudios.com along with what items you lost and we will fix your save data for you.

1. Fixed a glitch with missing items.
2. Fixed a glitch with achievements not unlocking.
If the latest patch doesn't fix these issues please follow the directions on the previous hotfix to send us your save data through email.

1. Fixed a bug causing a crash when opening Bernard's House.

1. Fixed another bug causing infinite flashlights.
2. Fixed some typos in the Japanese translation.

1. We fixed the Completionist achievement bug, please either go through the ending sequence again or send us your savedata.txt found in (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\SaveData) to contact@eqstudios.com and we will unlock it for you.
2. Fixed a few "falling through the world" glitches.

Hi everyone. We finished our Japanese translation of The Painscreek Killings. Stay tuned for additional languages. We also have a few minor bug fixes and other tweaks made to our game as follows:

1. Added Japanese translations in the new Language tab in Options.
2. Increased clarity for Option Items, making it easier to see what you are selecting while using a controller.
3. Optimized texture reading methods for smoother Item/Journal loading.
4. Fixed some minor bugs. (ex. Being able to read one note from outside the drawer in the Kitchen of the Mansion)
5. Reduced game size to 9.7 GB.

Hope you enjoy.


1. Fixed some errors in the Japanese translations.
2. Updated demo for Japanese translation.

1. Fixed textures not loading properly after completing the game.
2. Fixed broken credits.
3. Journal now loads proper localization textures.
