All point to the fact that is the last Halloween that The Cursed Forest will celebrate in the early access. For now, all is going as it was planned. We plan to make release in the second part of November.
Demo version that we promised to make is ready, but still needed to do a few corrections. So, it will take some time.
Demo version will include the first section (fully updated) of The Cursed Forest. We hoping that this demo version will introduce our game to the new players, which will be able to play it and consider about buying the full version.
Also, we made some improvements:
The starting part of the first section is more improved. How you think is it become better?
This update includes improvements and fixes. Over the next few weeks, we plan to integrate more content so that future updates will take a little longer. You can check our progress on twitter.com/evilbitegames

To everyone celebrating the season in spooky fashion, Happy Halloween! :)
During the Halloween Sale here on Steam, Gigachess will default to its Halloween skin on first launch so all new players get a nicely seasonal welcome. Lay waste to the pumpkin pawn army! :D
For something completely different, there's a new puzzle game I'm working on that you might be into! It's a completely different thing from Gigachess, being a logic puzzler about fitting dominoes together. Take a peek at its Coming Soon store page if you'd like to know more, and I'd be happy to shoot a beta key your way if you were curious to give the current version of this a try :)
This update adds forty spooky new levels in the Halloween pack. Featuring scenes inspired by classic horror movies, and also the regular puns and jokes too.
To coincide with this the game is on sale for 40% off in the Steam Halloween sale. It won't be this cheap for a fair while, so grab it while you can.
