The Final Update

Black Forest · published 15 Dec 2025, 11:46 UTC · build 21083026

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This is what I expect to be the final update for the game, version 2.5.

It contains no gameplay changes, but some Quality of Life updates and improvements:

  • updated engine/core code

  • visual improvements to volumetric lights, general graphics, building effects

  • removed Unity Analytics and privacy screen.

I am officially ending support for the game with this patch. If there are serious bugs I will of course fix those, but there will be no further updates aside from that.

The game is complete and there is nothing on my wishlist that I would want to add.

It has been an interesting journey, both in its highs and lows. The game has reached a lot of players, and for a while there were a good number of streamers and YouTubers playing. I'm glad that you all enjoyed a few hours in the Black Forest and it's night terrors.

Thank you all.
