Hey landlords!



Uncle Steve is back with his shenanigans! To celebrate Easter and show our appreciation for your continued support, we're hosting a special Easter Egg Hunt event in The Tenants from April 6th to April 20th. Get ready to explore the Slums district and hunt for hidden Easter eggs, which will unlock a charming set of Easter-themed items for you to decorate your properties with.

But that's not all! Our beloved partner in crime has gone one step further and hidden some extra-special Easter baskets throughout the Suburbs. These baskets contain unique items that can't be bought or unlocked anywhere else in the game. So, make sure to keep your eyes peeled and gather these one-of-a-kind treasures while the event lasts.

We hope you enjoy this festive event and the opportunity to add some seasonal flair to your rental properties. On behalf of the entire team at Ancient Forge, we'd like to wish you all a very Happy Easter! Have an egg-cellent time hunting for eggs and discovering the delightful surprises that await you in The Tenants' Easter Egg Hunt event.

• Easter Egg Hunt is back! Added an Easter Egg Collectible Set in the Slums, completing which will unlock Easter-themed items.
  
• Added Easter baskets in the Suburbs with unique treasures.

• Elite Contracts will start showing up in Steve's guidebook only after they're unlocked.
  
• Adjusted the level reward XP text.
  
• Updated the roadmap image.
  
• Fixed an issue with canceling jobs from districts other than the one the player is in.
  
• Fixed a number of glitches with properties being able to be purchased past their offer time.

Thank you,
Ancient Forge

Behold cultists,

It is with utmost happiness that we can finally reveal a huge surprise to you. To celebrate Lovecraftian Days, an event hosted by Fulqrum Publishing that has just started, Byte Barrel and Fulqrum Publishing have joined forces again and will be bringing you a dignified successor to Forgive Me Father. Brace yourselves,




Forgive Me Father 2 sees players once again journey into a malevolent world inspired by the works of H.P Lovecraft, where madness never sleeps. The action continues the story of the Priest from the first instalment as he descends into his darkest nightmares on a path to righteous salvation.

Players will be driven to the brink of insanity as they take on hordes of deranged cultists and diverse, eldritch enemies using a vast and varied arsenal of deadly weapons - each featuring powerful variations designed to cause absolute mayhem and wreak utter destruction. A freshly re-imagined and expanded madness system ratchets up the action even further, bestowing unimaginable power to those who choose to fully embrace insanity.

Forgive Me Father 2 elevates the unique and distinctive, dark comic-like visuals of the original game with improved sprites and models. Players will behold satisfyingly juicy blood effects and bear witness to eye-popping animated gibs that fly in all directions, as unimaginable ancient evils are torn asunder. The action is underpinned by a heart-pumping soundtrack that effortlessly blends dark Lovecraftian undertones and atmospherics with face-melting guitars and chest-thumping drums.

More details will be revealed soon. For now, follow Forgive Me Father 2 on Steam, join Byte Barrel's Discord server and follow Fulqrum Publishing on their Social Media accounts.

As we've announced in the opening of Lovecraftian Days, Forgive Me Father will also be ported to consoles, so that's another thing to be hyped about!

Also if you've never played the first installment of Forgive Me Father before or if you want to make your friends happy, the game is discounted by 30% for the time of Lovecraftian Days. And what's more, if you purchase it within a bundle, the discount is even bigger!

Good Lords, fair Ladies!

With this post, we're starting to reveal details on the upcoming Spring update. And today we'll tell you about the abilities of cavalry units that will arrive in the game in the very near future. To unlock and/or improve them, you've got to build Stables II and do some research.

Firstly, Horsemen are getting 'Equine health' passive skill, increasing their regeneration speed. It also reduces the interval between the time Horseman receives damage and the moment when the regeneration starts.

We've suspected that our game lacks Rambo vibes. So in the Spring update, Diplomacy is Not an Option will get... exploding arrows. They will come with the active skill of Horse archers. The damage area is small, but the blast ignores any kind of resistance: no enemy armor is able to reduce the damage received this way.


Mounted knights are getting the 'Horse dose' skill which greatly increases their movement speed. There is, however, a but. Activation of this skill damages Mounted knight. No worries, it's not that he could die from it. The worst that may happen is the Mounted knight's health reduced to 1.


We've got more things to tell you. Stay tuned, fresh details on the Spring update won't be long in coming.

Thank you for your time. See you soon!

Yours, the Door 407 team

Hello, we have good news!

We've just released "Community Stats" update and made a small infographic with various interesting facts that have been collected since the release:



As you might have guessed, the update adds new vidgets to the Medals and Archives menus that allow you to compare your progress with other players in the community, including:

• How many players have also unlocked a medal:

• How many players, like you, have treated or refused a patient on their first playthrough.

• How many players have also discovered a hero's Fate.

In addition, we've added pop-up hints for some UI elements, and also fixed inconveniences when playing on widescreen monitors.

Small bugfixes are also included.

To celebrate this event, we have set a 50% discount until April 20th.
