  More Secrets have been Discovered...

  SUMMER IS HERE!! And what better way to celebrate it than with this latest update to Penelope Syndrome. As many experienced players know, Normal and Hard difficulty modes, known as Strategic Mode and Ghost Mode in game, had their own unique side quests. But due to various circumstances, the hardest difficulty, Survival Mode's side quest had to be left on the concept floor for release. But during the spring, the decision to not include this cut content in a post launch update has been changed. So now, we of Dd Games are more than proud to present this potentially final content update for Penelope Syndrome!! Additionally, some of you may have experienced the dreaded freezing screen glitch of RPG MAKER MV. Rest assured that with this update, that bug will occur no longer!! We wish you the best while you try to survive the dark world one more time...

  Holiday's Ghost Mode Rebalance

  Tis the holiday season in full swing! Our gift to all of you is a brand new update that tackles many of the balance issues and bugs found in the first commercial version of the game. While we have snuck out a few shadow updates here and there, they were all pretty small time compared to what this update has in store for you. The mysterious Ghost Mode has seen heavy changes to its difficulty balancing as well as many new additions that will remain a secret. We don't do spoilers here. :P However, you can expect wide changes to enemy and item spawns in many levels across the other difficulty modes as well. Oh, and speaking of levels, you also get a BRAND NEW LEVEL. This was a level that unfortunately could not be finished in time for release. But its finished now, better late than never right?
