Hey everyone, Some of you may have noticed that I released the Steam community items! You can now earn trading cards, badges, backgrounds, emoticon and animated stickers from the world of Exophobia! I think they turned out pretty cool. I'm not familiar with the Steam meta for items, but hope you have a good time with them. I got some cards retroactively, so I think it happened to all of you too…
Oops, so I managed to break the anniversary version. That's what you get to be a solo dev not testing after adding new content to the game... Sorry all for the confusion, specially during the sale. New files should now be starting at the beginning. Thanks for the quick testing everyone!
Hey everyone! Long time no see... I've been super busy with work (yeah, got a full time job doing something else ːsteammockingː), so there hasn't been much Exophobia updating. I wish at this time I would have added way more stuff to the game. Nevertheless, I took this special date to update the game with the promised Lovecraftian update and run a 30% discount for the week! Also, health pills ar…
Hey everyone! Fulqrum Publishing was kind enough to invite Exophobia to take part in this year's Lovecraftian Days celebration! Exophobia will be part of a selection of games featuring out of this world horrors, and what are Zarkonians if not "cuter" versions of Cthulhu ? :P (minus the wings) During the duration of the event Exophobia will be 25% off, so take this opportunity to experience it f…
Hey everyone! Sorry for being a bit inactive lately, been focusing on a lot of other stuff (maybe news soon!) So, Steam finally approved Exophobia to play on Steam deck, so you now see the green symbol on the handheld. The best part was that I had to do nothing! The game has always been working well on Steam Deck, but I guess Steam goes at each game individually and approving it. So yeah, have…
Hey everyone! If you're still on the fence to buy Exophobia, it is now at 25% off for the first time! Also it is already Steam Deck approved if you like to play on handlheld ;) Hope you have fun Zarc
Hey! First time posting since the new year! Hope you are all doing well and happy with how the year is going so far.

Hey there! You might have noticed the Exophobia page has a DevGAMM banner. That's right, I forgot to make an announcement again and the event ends tomorrow lol Last week I had the pleasure of participating in DevGAMM Lisbon, a B2B game development event right in my country! And it was a blast! Saw old and new friends, attended great talks, and even won a "Person of the Year award" at Spotlight…
Hey, long time no see! I've been quite busy with my other job, and because of that and other life stuff, I've been offline a lot. But I want to bring you some good news when I can! You might have noticed, but the game has been with 20% discount for the last days, because of Indie X , an indie game celebration event created here in Portugal. Exophobia is not part of this year's selection, but as…
Hey everyone! I just got back from Barcelona where I personally attended IndieDevDay 2024, a really cool gathering of indie game developers showcasing their work, talks and more! I should have done this before the event, but I've been so tired and busy with life that it has been impossible. (maybe you should all buy Exophobia so I can afford a community manager? ;) ) Anyway, you might have noti…

You can now save 15% by buying Beyond Sunset along with Exoph…
New patch to fix the previous one that had a save file issue: · Better way to calculate play time - this might mess with your save files time, but it now fixes some problems where it was recording wrong. It also fixes displaying "0" in the save file on the menu. · Disabled drone in some boss fights where it can actually slow you down. · Infinite mode crash fix (I hope!) · All Our Base achieveme…

This was a quick one, but I didn't want to leave you without a patch for much longer while I was away at Gamescom! · Infinite Mode Crash - let me know if you can get after level 3-3. I tested it but couldn't replicate the bug · Out of bounds bugs fixed in floor 4 · Final achievement unlocks even if you get the good ending first, so you don't have to play the whole game again for the bad ending…
Fixed sprites flickering bug (I think!!) Giving up mouse acceleration fixes for now, so please disable in windows settings while I find a solution to counter effect it. Thanks!!
Sorry for taking so long to update! Tried to include a bunch of stuff: · Mouse acceleration fix - Let me know if it feels any different · Timers are now based on difficulty - Relax players now can take their time in these challenges · One way doors appear in the map - Dots that don't blink are one way doors. You can now plan your route with these in mind. · Achievement fixes - Some achievements…
