Content notice: There are themes of death, sacrifice, suicidal imagery (noose; hanging), minimal blood, and fictional demonic imagery. These are, of course, all extremely stylized and do not look realistic.

Post-Halloween Treat!
Happy November everybody! Hope it's been treating you well and we hope you had a great Halloween last week! Our team celebrated with a little Ladtholomew (the name of our player character, of course) and Pixel Poxet-themed cake during our Halloween party :D {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45232350/f20deb5d3890cf13fbd91e211d8b2a784dcb3c3e.jpg We're also super excited to announce that we've been featured in an article by Games Ardor! Read it now! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45232350/7f3f74df34658c9c709fcc49bcba82e2a2ae037a.png After taking some time to rest from all the excitement of the spooky season, we're happy to announce that we've made some updates to the game! Steam Achievements have arrived! If you haven't noticed yet, we finally added a few Steam Achievements to the game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45232350/41c90a2a3f498c52d6ae6a4df23a9d33f856bfcf.png There are seven total and we plan to add more in the future. Try and get them all... if you dare. More Words for Random Mode! As stated, we've included 25 new words in our Random Mode! Think you can get them right? Volume Button A volume button has been included in the pause menu, so you can control just how scared you want to get from those jumpscares (; {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45232350/9ee8d30443127c932ae8f6626b3241c0810aa8d0.png This allows you to adjust the volume levels and mute the game if desired. New Sounds and Indicators New sounds have been added to the game, as well as indicators! We've gotten some contradicting feedback about the difficulty of the secret level and realized it may help the player to know that they gain speed every time they get a letter wrong. Players who are slow say it's very difficult, but players who have discovered the strategy to gain speed find running from the hands easy. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45232350/cd9114c65348792121f8690eef0919519f3927a0.png With that in mind, we've added a speed indicator that pops up every time the player gets a letter wrong. We may still tweak the secret level according to feedback. Update...Read full article on Community Announcements (Pixel Poxet)Patch NotesOfficial
