  GAME RELEASE. HUGE UPDATE: NEW MAP, MONSTER, PERKS, AND MUCH MORE!

  Hello! Sorry for the delay in this update. Our top priority was to ensure that all the additions we've prepared work harmoniously together and improve the gameplay, even if it took longer than planned. Now we're ready to share our work.Get your pickles ready, there's a lot in store!Character PerksGet your cigarette packs, because it's time to spend them. You can purchase unique abilities for your characters — some will help you in co-op play, others will benefit you in solo play. We've added ten abilities to choose from. You can combine any two during each game.New Map — SawmillThere is a secret research station hidden near the Village. There, they studied mythological anomalies: animated wooden dolls, giant plants, and artifacts capable of piercing through reality. You'll arrive there in an unusual vehicle to find the source of this dark power.At the Sawmill, you'll encounter new quests and a new enemy.New Monster: The Gray WolfA fearsome and ferocious hunter. He watches his prey closely and attacks if he sees bright light. Be careful, he likes to hunt from an ambush! The Gray Wolf lives in the Sawmill. And by the way, he's not the only one who can kill you there.TrapsNasty rabbits have set traps everywhere. Each playthrough will be hampered by two or three of nine unique types. The locations where they occur change with each session. Beware of bear traps, guard nesting dolls, tripwires with flares, ghosts that disguise themselves as useful items, and much more. If you have a jar handy, you can disarm the trap. Traps will appear not only on the new map, but also on the old one. And with them comes something else.Dark SpiritsThe Village and Sawmill are haunted by creepy ghosts that have arrived with the evil spirits. They won't cause much harm, but the higher the difficulty, the more often they frighten and distract! Falling paintings, living toys, ghostly claws, and black crows — dozens of unique manifestations of evil await you.Changes in the VillageThis isn't the...
