Greetings, brave haunted house renovators!

During our spine-chilling playtest sessions, our intrepid testers stumbled upon a pesky bug specter wreaking havoc within the eerie confines of our haunted abode.

But fear not, for our team of fearless developers has risen to the challenge!

Through the mystical art of coding incantations, we've summoned forth a hotfix to banish this mischievous bug apparition from haunting our players' experiences. While our battle against the forces of the supernatural continues, we're thrilled to announce that our latest hotfix has exorcised a portion of the spectral glitches that once roamed these haunted halls.

Version 1.3.69:
• Gremlin appears after you pick up your tools (to limit the chaos a bit while the player learns the game)
  
• Gremlin should no longer throw immovable objects around
  
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the safe to fly away from the office before it could be repaired
  
• Potential fix to a crash that happened when entering the bathroom (we're unable to reproduce this one so please let us know if it works now!)
  
• Improved trash bag icons (they should no longer 'spill' onto the floor)

If your game is not launching at all (you don't even see the launcher, you can use this workaround to try the playtest while we work on a better solution:

1. Right click on the playtest in your Steam library, hover over 'Manage' and click on 'Browse local files'
   
2. This will open your installation folder. Inside, you should see a file called 'Haunted.exe'. Try launching that

Stay tuned, brave renovators, for more spine-tingling updates as we continue to polish and perfect Haunted House Renovator, ensuring that every creaky floorboard and flickering light bulb contributes to an unforgettable ghostly adventure.

We sincerely appreciate all the bug reports you've submitted so far! Your feedback is invaluable in helping us polish Haunted House Renovator into a spine-chilling masterpiece.

Please continue to keep us informed of any issues you encounter, whether it's through Steam, Discord, or our Bug Report Form

Until next time, may your courage never waver, and may your renovations be haunted by only the friendliest of spirits!

Hey doomed souls,

Cryptmaster has passed 200 reviews with a 97% positive review.


If I still had a beating heart, it would be beating so fast right now. I don’t know how all these souls were able to escape my crypts to make a review, but thank you. I’m glad you had a wonderful time dodging the slimes, talking to the rats, and playing Whatever. I only let you win in Whatever. No, I am not what you call “salty”.

Hey Townies,

This patch ends Season 2 of Ranked, takes us into the off-season and has a TON of balance updates to the game. The goal of this balance patch is to address the power of Town, while doing updates, tweaks, and reworks to various roles.



Ranked Updates
• New Ranked Role list which uses the new Common buckets. Let us know what you think of this new list!

New Common Town and Common Coven Rolebuckets
• Common Town is a Role bucket that contains all Town except Town Power roles.
• Common Coven is a Role bucket that contains all Coven except Coven Power and Coven Killing roles.

Role Reworks
• Trickster - Place Magic Mirrors and absorb attacks, and Unleash them to other players at will. Trickster may not place another Magic Mirror until they Unleash the absorbed attack to another player. Taunt keyword replaced with Magic Mirror.
• Socialite - During the night you may throw a party at another player's house. Any visitors not on the guest list will be rejected from entering causing their ability to fail. Players rejected will be added to the guest list for future parties. During the day you may add a player to your guest list, allowing them to attend future parties.
• Coven Leader - During the night, pick another member of the Coven to retrain. You will be able to select a new role for them to become. This has 2 Uses. Coven Killing and Coven Power roles can become any coven role, Coven Utility and Coven Deception roles can only become other Coven Utility and Coven Deception roles. You can self-retrain You cannot retrain someone into a role that has already been on the team. The following day, the targeted Coven member will be able to accept or decline being retrained, they will instantly change roles if they accept.
• Dreamweaver - Insanity renamed to Insomnia. If a town member doesn't visit you you will become Insomniac instead. Insomniac players may not use any day or night abilities but does not affect voting. Players affected by Insomnia will be cured if the Dreamweaver dies.

Role Changes
• Baker no longer dies of Starvation. Instead they transform if all living players have Bread if there's less than 3 players alive.

Hi everyone, recently, a player named Fliedner has shared a link to his recorded let's play. While there are several videos on YouTube, what sets this one apart is Fliedner's mastery of Age of Fear mechanics.

I believe I've seen almost all abilities and skills utilized, along with a few combinations I never anticipated. Additionally, such videos assist us in identifying and fixing bugs, enhancing AI, and sometimes even inspire ideas for new features.

Please enjoy the serious showcase of the complexity of Age of Fear:
