Hi everyone,
On June 15th, our Summer Update added new content alongside changes to the core gameplay loop.
A lot of you told us the new gameplay didn't feel right - so we're reverting the core mechanics back to how they were before the update. The new content (maps and mini-games) stays exactly as it is and isn't affected by this hotfix.
We're also still working on more content this month, including a new mob and a new map.
Thanks for playing and for the honest feedback. We're listening.
안녕하세요, 여러분!
지난 6월 15일 서머 업데이트를 통해 신규 콘텐츠와 함께 핵심 게임플레이 방식에 변경 사항을 적용했습니다.
하지만 많은 분들께서 새로운 게임플레이가 기대했던 느낌과 다르다는 의견을 주셨고, 이에 핵심 메커니즘을 업데이트 이전 상태로 되돌리기로 결정했습니다. 신규 콘텐츠(맵 및 미니게임)는 이번 핫픽스의 영향을 받지 않으며 그대로 유지됩니다.
또한 이번 달에 새로운 몹과 맵을 포함한 추가 콘텐츠를 계속 준비하고 있습니다.
플레이해 주시고 솔직한 의견 남겨 주셔서 감사합니다. 저희는 항상 귀 기울이고 있습니다.
Biggest content and gameplay update ever:
New gameplay loop improvement to make the core game more intuitive.
New mini games: cooking food orders for delivery.

Hey everyone, Linh here - Mr. Buffalo.
As 2025 comes to an end, I felt like writing something a bit more personal. We’ve never really shared much behind the scenes before, so this will be our first devlog.
I want to show you a bit of what we’ve been working on.
The Early Access version will include at least 8 playable maps + variants, each with its own layout, atmosphere, and surprises.
And of course, many more monsters — some familiar, some very… not.
As I’m writing this, over 36,000 players have jumped into our demo, and we’ve just crossed 11,000 wishlists on Steam.
For a small indie team in Vietnam building a “friendslop” co-op horror game, your support is honestly the only reason we’re still pushing forward. It’s been a year full of long nights, mistakes, and huge learning curves, but seeing you laugh, scream, and mess around with friends in the demo made it all worth it.
We’re heading into 2026 with one clear goal: to make the Early Access launch something truly special for you.
Happy New Year from all of us at Young Buffalo Studio. See you on the night shift.
Linh.
