Hello, survivors!
In this update, I'm excited to introduce a redesigned model for Jeff! He now looks more human and even creepier.Additionally, I've made several important improvements based on your feedback:Improved Audio: The sound is now more spatial, making it much easier to pinpoint where Jeff is approaching from.
Gameplay is More Forgiving: To give you a chance to breathe, Jeff will no longer enter certain rooms.
New Glitch Effect: When Jeff gets close, you'll see and hear a distinct static glitch effect on your camera - that's your cue to run!
Better Chance to Escape: I've slightly increased the player's speed and reduced Jeff's attack range. You now have a real chance to escape his grasp.
More Jumpscares: The frequency of jumpscares has been increased. Stay alert!
"Jeff's Origin" Mini-Game: It's finally here! I've added a brand-new playable chapter where you can dive into the past and discover the horrific events that turned an ordinary boy into a merciless killer.
Complete Graphical Overhaul: I've put a lot of effort into the visuals. Most textures have been reworked to support up to 4K resolution. I also improved the lighting and added new shaders (like for gasoline puddles) to make the atmosphere even more oppressive.
Sleek New UI: I've updated the user interface with a stylish "frosted glass" effect. It now looks more modern and is less distracting from the gameplay.
New Intro Scenes & Achievements: To make your journey even more memorable, I've added new cinematic intro scenes and, of course, fresh achievements for the most dedicated players!
Stability & Gameplay: I eliminated critical errors that caused players to get stuck, fixed broken mechanics (like the elevator), and smoothed out object interaction.
Smarter AI: Jeff is smarter now! I've tweaked his logic, and he now reacts correctly to your actions, even when you're hiding.
Visuals & Audio: the infamous pink notes, audio playing on the pause menu, and laggy cutscenes are now a thing of the past.
Localization & Text: I fixed text scaling in flashbacks and added missing voice-overs.
Fixed a critical bug that prevented the scene after the intro from starting.
Jeff's AI has been improved; he now reacts correctly when the player is in a hiding spot.
The item inspector mechanic has been completely reworked and fixed.
Fixed an issue that could cause the player to fall through the floor after landing.
Fixed a bug where notes in the English version displayed with an incorrect color.
Players can now interact with hatches even while holding another item.
Added an improved shader for gasoline puddles to make them look more realistic.
Fixed bugs related to the elevator and resolved an issue where audio continued to play on the pause menu.
The opening hand-drawn cutscene has been optimized to prevent lag.
Adjusted text size in flashbacks for better readability.
Added missing voice-overs for all supported languages. \
