Something’s off at SideEye High.
A string of student deaths. A nervous principal. And a very tired detective sent to “audit safety procedures.”

This first look pulls you inside the investigation—dust for prints, inspect the halls, and meet the cast that definitely isn’t hiding anything.

Every locker has a secret. Every hallway has a story.
And every ending? Twisted.

(💡If you like what you see, wishlist SideEye High to stay on the case.)

It seems people are enjoying the update, and I wanted to clean up some rough edges before moving onto the bigger changes that will likely be v1.4.

Mostly focused on making working with everything feel a bit better, as well as giving some extra modding capability, so if you had some issues before I hope I've at least addressed some of them!

• Mod Clearly Ore, this is a demo mod for texture packs and asset overrides, it makes it clear which ore is which.

• Inventory shift clicking! You can now shift click items to move them between inventories.

• Crafting shift clicking! You can now shift click while crafting to mass craft.

• Pickup Log, when grabbing items they're now listed on the left side of the screen.

• Pipes now display a guide when configuring, showing which side is which with a respective shape and color.

• The slot selection and interactable icons have been replaced to be less obtuse.

• The "Flip" indicator now only appears when building, similar to the interactable indicator when not building.

• Reduced render distance max from 24 to 16, as people love to crank this setting before putting it back down, bloating saves and destroying FPS.

• Similarly the "Omega" and "Galactic" lighting distances have been disabled (but still available), as these currently just chew GPUs.

• Grass and plants now sway slightly.

• Pressing Q in the inventory will now clear the selected slot.

• Machine input slots now ensure the items inserted are valid input items.

• Pipe colliders have been changed to the inner 0.5m^3 cube until I fix the collision properly.

• Pipes now show the correct directions in the configuration menu. Gaslight, gate keep, girl boss.

• Item and player models should now have reduced or remove "hair" / visual artifacts.

• Saw blade now has the expected texture with Carbon Steel markings, I saved to the wrong folder.

• Removed some unused assets.

• Flore now provides 2x stone with the Clockwork Drill, in line with breaking by hand.

• Pipes now support machines that push more than 1 item stacks, they output 1 at a time.

• The game should no longer fail to launch if the "ext_extended_dynamic_state3" Vulkan extension (used for MSAA via rasterization samples), however 1x MSAA will always be applied.

• On Linux, borderless fullscreen should no longer result in a black image on some configurations.

• Inventory transfers have been broken, again, this is a small change to make shift click work.

• Adding an asset via "override" will replace an existing asset, allowing texture packs or overriding of existing content.

• Basic dependency resolution / ordering, ensuring the above override has needed assets loaded.

• New API "get_item_recipes", which provides the recipes an item is used in.

• New API "get_container_keys", which provides all key names for the provided MetaDataContainer.

• New API "get_crafter_processable", which provides all items a crafter can process.

• New API "is_crafter_processable", which indicates if the provided item can be used by the crafter.

• New API "click_held", which indicates if left click is held on a UI element.

I added the option to auto bunny-hop and included info about it in the tutorial zone. It should help people struggling with navigation and/or combat.

I also added extra lore since some of you are really digging the world-building, and I’m thankful for it.

Added some extra dialogue to nudge you toward the fungal grove once past the mines.

Buffed the dish-heads’ health pool because I felt bad for those freaky salamander-things with frills.

Thank you for the enthusiasm. I shall return to working on future content now.

• Fixed the Steam Leaderboard layout (no more header overlap; consistent spacing across resolutions).

• Capped visible entries at Top-15 so it’s clear who’s on the board—fight for a slot!

• Minor polish on the high-score screen.

If you enjoy the game, a short Steam review helps a lot. Thank you!

THE CLOCKIN' IN UPDATE IS FINALLY HERE!

= WHATS NEW?

• This update marks the first step in CG:R's new approach to HANDMADE LEVELS over the former procedural generation system. The procedural generation system actually sucked fat schlong and had too many bugs and bullshit ass issues with it to even justify working on anymore, which is our fault, but fuck dat regardless. With handmade levels we now can make maps look better, play better, run better, load faster, not have random walls missing that end entire runs, etc.

= CLOCKIN IN

• Meet up with the lovable "Grindly Jones" and get the sit rep on Big Grabba's new operation to procure the elusive "Holy Grab". Jones will also help show new players the ropes to CG:R and all of it's revolutionary mechanics, such as "jumping" and "rotating objects".

• Explore the remains of tertiary sector 0 to find little drops of loot and maybe even a bit of cash!

= OLD FART

• The second handmade level in CG:R. Infiltrate the Old Farts humble abode and figure out a way to complete the mysterious ritual to gain passage into the sewers...

= BLACKJACK

• Meet up with Betty Biscuits in the lobby to enjoy a game of state sanctioned Blackjack!

= #SPOOKYTOWN IN THE LOBBY!

• Enjoy a newly decorated lobby with beautiful handcrafted assets to compliment the Halloween season!

Network connection bug fixed
