  Devlog - Production Update and the Origin of the Manor...

  What’s been going on behind the scenes at the Manor?Spring 2026 Production UpdateAfter lots of playtesting and revising we’re happy to announce 3 of our 4 wing layouts are set. We also have all 48 Strange Events for wings in the game ready for playtesting and 251 Glitches for players to find.We also started work on the mysterious Black Wing. We have about 2/3 of a first version ready for playtest but it’s still very early in development and likely to change quite a bit. In addition, we’re starting to build out the intro of the full game so we have lots of playtesting opportunities coming up. Interested in helping improve the game? Sign up for playtests on our Discord here!The Original Manor...As part of our devlogs we thought it’ll be fun to share what goes into making the game with a behind the scenes look at what the first version of the Manor looked like:We intentionally kept the visuals simple to focus on proving out two key games features:  Dynamically loading levels to create impossible loops and change where you've beenAbility to randomize glitches so each run (and Glitch count) would be differentThis was a big moment in early development as it let us know it was possible for us to make the game we wanted and gave us a lot of insights into how to best make levels that work with our loop loading system.Thanks for reading! Let us know on the Steam Forums or on our Discord what else you want to hear about. Also our company Work/Life Balance Officer says hi!
