With October already behind us, we wanted to share with you an update on our Pinktober 2024 campaign. Since 2019, we are proud to have continued to raise awareness and support for this important topic. If you missed our previous blog post all about this special month, we recommend that you read about it here.
First off, we'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community for actively supporting Pinktober. Whether that be through sharing #Pinktober screenshots, tuning into our live streams or hosting your own charity convoys, these seemingly small gestures play an important role in the fight against this widespread disease.
We'd also like to thank you, our #BestCommunityEver, who have helped us raise donations through the sales of our Pink Ribbon Charity Packs for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. We're happy to share that the amount raised from this year's sales of this special Paint Job Pack is a staggering 54,000 USD! This sum is truly remarkable, and we extend our gratitude to each and every one of you. We believe that contributing the entire amount to the Alliance of Women with Breast Cancer will make a significant difference in supporting those who need it most.
Although Pinktober has ended for another year, we encourage you to continue to prioritise your health by practising self-checks, seeing your doctor regularly, and promoting healthy habits with those around you all year round! We once would like to extend our heartfelt thank you for your unwavering effort and support!
Today we return with another set of tools for you to check out. And as the last tool was used to destroy, this one will serve to fix… Kinda.
It’s the PAINTING TOOLS!
When you have already demolished the broken stuff and cleaned the surfaces (more on that later!) it’s high time to give the place a fresh coat of paint. Literally! Grab your trusted paintbrush, pick a color that suits the atmosphere and start painting.
And you know what’s the best bit? The brush is just the beginning! When you’ve painted enough walls (and earned enough money for doing it too) you’ll be able to upgrade your painting experience with better painting tools, like the roller. That would make the job much easier, no?
So, Renovators, which colors are you choosing first?
As part of your new role in the gig economy, you’ll be distributing parcels, putting up posters, and shaking up drinks across the entirety of New Island! With eight areas to service – you’ll need to know your surroundings.
The dizzying Seaside District is home to some of the finest businesses around – alongside the classics you expect for such an area. Take a trip through the giant mall or get lost in the noise of the pier side arcades. There’s bound to be fun for everyone! Prefer a quieter time? Find a spot along the sandy beach and relax.
Faces old and new await your delivery skills. Reunite with Pizza Face (whose brother Mario STILL isn’t around) and collaborate on another masterstroke of artistic brilliance with Art Assault. Beware though – there is some fishy business going on, and we don’t just mean Erhmon Trout’s chip shop! You’ll need to use every grind rail and wall to your advantage to avoid the full force of the law – and some rather angry-looking little fellas…
Master the seaside and you’ll be tasked to pedal over to Chinatown to continue your corporate overlord’s cupidity.

Your sight is limited in this first-person psychological horror game in the deep abyss. Use sound to your advantage, while you still have your mind in this experience of pure mind-numbing terror. Try to survive long enough to discover the terrible secrets... if you can...
Synopsis:
You are in the Abyss, a fountain of sorts. One where you are drowning deeper and deeper. You keep waking up in a room full of couches and a door to the unknown. You hold a book of the past that always resets over and over again. The monsters are dead set on bringing you back. Maybe more, but you cannot remember anything that happens once blacked out by them. Others are trying to contact you, but can you really trust them? The abyss shifts like the sea, but there is only one thing you remember. There is an outside, freedom. The portals. The portals are the key. Find the portals, and reclaim your freedom.
Features:
Navigate through a dark, evil abyss where your sight is severely restricted.
Rely on sound to guide your way and detect lurking beasts. Sound is the key to survival, and it will be used against you. (Headphones are highly recommended!)
Use the inventory system to gather and use items to do basic things like opening doors and solving puzzles across multiple areas.
There are 6 total monsters with unique behaviors with different ways to avoid their gazes and attacks.
The Abyss shifts slightly enough to catch you off guard after every major step and setback, sometimes very slightly or in major ways. Get captured, and get sent back to the start in a cycle of drowning more and more into the abyss's darkness.
Every step forward reveals more about how to better survive and get further to reach the surface, along with who you are.
Warning:
The visuals may be harmful with those with certain conditions. Please consider this before watching any videos or playing the game.
