Bug fix week!
• Refactored text strings so combat log should use more natural language. The changes will allow Asian languages to be added better in the future.

This will be fixed in the next update.


I've heard that this is too hard, so I'm adding a beginner option.
- Half the damage you take
- Remove SP cost

Skeletons will have their base damage nerfed.

I'm thrilled to announce my next game, Backrooms: Found Footage 2! It is a sequel to the first one where things are getting even more exciting. This game will be much longer and more realistic than the first one. The game is in early development and it will not be released any time soon, but it's worth the wait. It will be a paid game, unlike the first one, though the price tag will stay under 10 dollars.

The game does not follow the happenings of the first game, it will have its own story. It takes place in the modern world, which is going to make the graphics even more realistic. That's all I can say about it for now. Here's some artwork that I made for this sequel:



Will you ever update the first game?
- Yes, I have some plans for the first game as well. There are some things that need to be fixed, though I will not make the game itself longer. I will focus on the sequel for now.
