Home sweet home~

[Yuan Cui - Painted In Blood @Guesscui]

Noir mode added - the game can be played now in black and white from start to finish~

[Yuan Cui - Painted In Blood @Guesscui]

another massive battle during a rainy night~

New enemy the "Singer" - they will sing and wake up the statues and make them sing together~
The way to kill these guys is to cut their singing heads off.

Phantom can turn invisible, you can see their silhouette more easily when they catch fire. So burn them as much as you can~

Edward becomes more unstable in chapter 2, to reflect the main character's mental state. There will be more real time mood shift or even day and night time transformation。

Yes there are tradeoffs, for example, monsters are more terrifying and strong, but they reward you with stuff once you kill them; some secret areas will reveal themselves when your sanity is low. However, the game makes you feel like you should play with healthy sanity otherwise you'll get pushed.
In a lot of areas the sanity system is guided or controlled, for easy understanding for the players and to work with story sections better - but there are whole lot going on behind what you see on screen actually.

lighting - normal sanity vs low sanity~

@ManthosLappas Thanks my friend!

@infernozilla Thank you!

[Yuan Cui - Painted In Blood @Guesscui]

the biggest level we've created so far~ the level also has a multi-layered structure controled by the sanity in the background.
some newly polished environment pieces to showcase~ :)

@TheCondez Thanks! Yes we're trying to pack a ton of content and that's why it's taking so long. Hopefully we will be able to finish the game in time. Thanks for the patience!

@96Jpcr Yeah the dark fantasy asthetics is kinda similar, but we're mostly doing our own things for the gameplay and the tone :)

[Yuan Cui - Painted In Blood @Guesscui]

Enemies can now "drop" from evil paintings - lots of new weird stuff coming~
