Sup pals ːcleahappyː. I see the Black Friday sale introduced quite a few new players to Clea. Welcome to the community! I am glad to see everyone is enjoying Clea, unlocking costumes, challenging Chaos(+) Mode etc. With that said…

Ya’all gotta stahp! Some players mentioned they used Clea’s camera mode to peek ahead and spot enemies early. As you can imagine, the camera feature’s purpose is to set up and snap cool screenshots. I am joking, of course. You can enjoy Clea as you see fit. Still, I would love to recommend keeping that camera off, at least on your first play through.



Stahp it. Get some help ːcleachaosː.

Actually, you all inspired a new idea from me. As we approach the Christmas holidays, I would like to set up a camera event for players to have fun in. I might get some prizes organized, then get in touch again with another post. Please keep an eye out ːcleasunniesː!

P.S. Also got multiple Clea related news on the way. Just need to wait a while longer for that ideal timing. Thank you for your patience, and please look forward to the future.

Sup pals ːcleasunniesː. The Black Friday/Autumn sales are here! What are you all getting? I should go and see what I have on my wishlist this weekend.

As we have done in the past, I have put up a couple of costumes on offer for this sale. First, we have the dark themed Black Friday dress. Along with that comes the Autumn colored costume. See those textures on her dress? They are in fact filtered through real autumn leaves snapped by a camera. Hope you will enjoy playing Clea’s campaign in these dresses!

During this discount period, if you fire up Clea (full version) and open the menu screen, you will find your usual download link to these costumes. Please pick them up now to avoid missing out.

With the recently released arcade mode, Chaos+ difficulty, invisible mode and camera feature, there is no better time to experience Clea. I look forward to welcoming you into our friendly community.

Thank you! ːcleahappyː

P.S. It looks like the Steam Award nominations are open. Of course, please go ahead and vote for whichever games you feel deserve the recognition. For me, if Doom Eternal had came out this year, that most likely would have been my GOTY.

Hey pals ːcleahappyː! Another batch of Clea (and other) postcards are about to be sent out, so I want to use this chance to remind everyone of how the draw works. Once a month, I pick one winner from these 3 categories:

1) A newsletter subscriber (subscribe via invertmouse.com)
2) A regular Facebook page support/commenter (fb.com/invertmouse)
3) A regular Twitter supporter (@InvertMouse)

These are stocks I have left from previous conventions. Once they run out, I may give away free DLCs etc each month instead. If you are interested, I hope to catch you in one of our friendly communities.

Thank you ːcleasunniesː!

Sup all ːcleasunniesː. Hope you will have an awesome weekend ahead. To the hoopers out there, I am off to watch Lamelo Ball play the Sydney Kings this Sunday!

Hey, also just want to say, there will be some more sick news related to Clea over the coming months. Been grinding in work daily here in my bedro—grand studio, but I want to get much more done before I speak further. Please sit back and look forward to those news when they land.

Today, I would like to thank a couple of gamers for expressing their love for Clea. You know, despite having made games for 5-6 years (far longer if we count titles not under the InvertMouse name), no one has ever cosplayed any of my characters. That changed recently when Alice Nespoli kindly put together this awesome and accurate Clea cosplay!



You can drop her a follow on the gram (is that what cool people call it?) to show your support:

We also have i.make.edits.1037, who, as the name suggests, has been making some cool edits of Clea artworks:

Many thanks!

Happy weekend ːcleahappyː! As you may know, sometimes, I like to use the Clea emotes to put together some cheeky pics on Twitter:



My Twitter is @InvertMouse, by the way.

Next I figured, why not package up these emotes so everyone can play with them? And so, I did exactly that:

Hope you will have fun with them!

I also want to thank everyone who has picked up merch from Clea’s Redbubble store. If you have bought something, and the item arrives, perhaps you can take a pic and share it? I would love to see them.

Thank you!

Sup pals ːcleasunniesː! Hope you had a nice Halloween.

First, let me pay my respects to those who have conquered Clea’s campaign on Chaos+. This shoutout is for those who have cleared this mode without any special costume abilities, and with infinite saves unticked! That, after all, is the intended experience, and the ultimate challenge Clea has to offer.

For the past 3 or 4 months, I have been working through Doom 4 on Ultra Nightmare (1 life). I am on the final level now. Throughout the process, I have died several times after being trapped in bad situations. For example, being surrounded by Hell Knights.

My first question was, next time the Hell Knights cornered me, what should I do? Then, I thought about it some more, and my mindset changed to, “No, why the hell should I let them surround me in the first place?” As time went on, I played more and more aggressively. If I die, it will be due to my own mistakes, not because I allowed the demons to surround me while I cowered in a corner. I act, you respond on your heels.

Next thing I knew, I adopted that attitude onto my street basketball sessions, which then stretched to other areas of my life. This is the magic of games, or any great challenge. When you are pushed to the edge, you grow not only with the context of that challenge, but as a person.

So, if you have yet to beat Chaos+, I would like to invite, or even challenge you, to take it on. Are the Chaos Servants too fast and scary? What if you drew their attention on purpose, then snuck off and kept them at bay? They may be agents of horror, but you can still seize control. This is just one of the many ways players can approach Clea’s campaign. I hope you can continue to express your style through Clea, and any games beyond.

Thank you ːcleachaosː!

Sup friends ːcleasunniesː! Hope you have/had a happy Halloween. A colleague from my day job dressed up as a Harry Potter character, ready to attend a party last night, then at lunch, I saw a Sailor Moon cosplayer out and about. As for me, I look forward to the release of Bloom, a mod that fuses Doom with Blood. The devs promised a Halloween release, so I certainly hope so!

Remember my portfolio costume pack from launch week? If you have the pack, but do not own the games that inspired those costumes, well, these titles are on discount for around one more day during this Halloween sale.

Clea truly helped our community grow, and for that I am grateful. The more successful these games are, the more time I can dedicate myself to potential sequels and/or new series. I hope to have your support:

The sales period is about to end, but I will keep the Halloween dress up over the weekend. Please remember to download it via the in-game menu!



Back to work pals. Mouse out ːcleahappyː.

Hey friends ːcleasunniesː. Hope you have a happy Halloween up ahead! Clea is 10% off over the next few days to celebrate this occasion. On top of that, I have released a free costume mod, appropriately named the “Happy Halloween” costume.



This mod will be available to download over the Halloween period. As always, please fire up Clea, then click that link on the menu screen to download your costume. Why not put on the Happy Halloween dress, then take on some arcade mode high scores over the weekend?

Thank you ːcleahappyː!

Sup pals ːcleasunniesː. Now that Clea’s arcade mode has been released, I want to drop three tips that will hopefully make the scene more competitive, and most important, more fun!

Tip 1 – Chain your badges:



There are 3 badges to collect in each chapter, and if you have more than one active, your score multiplies. Yes, if you chain badges, that means you will run out of them sooner, but that multiplier more than makes up for it. If you ask me, I would say snatch the badges, collect your points, then get out of there.

Tip 2 – Stay near your foe(s):



Your score rises slowly while you have a badge(s) active. However, if you have an enemy (1 or more) nearby, you can rack up that score even faster.

See the heart icon on top of the screen? That indicates how fast scores are being collected. Bronze means there is no enemy in your area. Silver means there is an enemy in the same area, but he is far away. Gold means the foe is somewhat near. Chaos (red) means the enemy is dangerously close.

You guessed it; we want to stay in that gold/chaos range for as long as possible, and as frequently as possible. If you hide in a closet, your score rank will drop by one, so it truly is a test of risk versus reward.

Tip 3 – Get out:



Once you have used up your badges, your score will gradually drop back to zero. The higher your rank, the faster that score plummets. Ideally, we want to open that exit door the second our last badge expires. How will you plan out your route to achieve this? That comes down to your freedom as the player.

Hope these help! I would love to see more participation in arcade mode. The new achievement and dress should hopefully help with that. If you have yet to try the mode out, perhaps this is a good time to fire up Clea again? Test yourself, challenge your friends, and let’s see how far we can push that score as a community.

By the way, you can view all the leaderboards here:

Thank you ːcleahappyː!

Hey buds ːcleasunniesː! I am back from an awesome 3 days at PAX Melbourne. It was great to be there not only for work, but as a lover of games. Perhaps I will write another post later to share my fun-filled journey.

Now, as promised, I would like to invite you to the newly released arcade mode!



Thank you himey for the artwork!

Like with other bonus features, players must complete the campaign once before arcade mode is unlocked. Beyond that, have fun! Great games, after all, should be explored rather than explained.



Now that we can compete online, to be fair to all players, costume abilities will be disabled in arcade mode. Even with the Chaos+ Dress or Invisibility Cloak on, only knowledge and prowess can save you.



By the way, I have also added a new achievement, which should hopefully serve as an introduction to arcade mode. Let’s get chapter 1 cleared, then continue to take charge and prove you are a Clea master.



If you complete the campaign on arcade mode with a chaos rank, you will unlock the super cute retro dress! Yet another fine piece to add to your collection. Oh, and of course, a new badge has been added to the difficulty selection screen, too.

I know many of you are Clea monsters at this point, running circles around the Chaos Servants, or even conquering Chaos+ Mode with ease. Still, I have been a street baller for 20+ years, and at some point, all hoopers must step out and see where we truly stand. That time is now for Clea, so let’s see your game!

In summary, more goods to collect, and more fun to be had. All of it in this free update, because you have been so supportive, and this is the best way for me to express gratitude.

Glhf ːcleachaosː!

P.S. If you spot any issues, please notify me. I pushed the update at this time, because I will be available over the next couple of days. This update involves online leaderboards, so it is arguably the most challenging update yet. I hope everyone can give arcade mode a shot. The more data we have, the easier it will be to spot potential issues.
