Hello,


This time, I focused on improving gameplay, technical fixes, new content, and enhanced sound and visual effects.

Gameplay Improvements & New Features


Faster movement in water
If you're in the water and press "SHIFT" (default), your character will move slightly faster. This subtle yet significant change allows for better control in claustrophobic, flooded corridors and increases your chances of escaping danger.

Option to disable the VHS effect
Not every player enjoys film grain and VHS-style post-processing. I have added an option to disable this effect in the settings, so you can adjust the game’s visuals to your preference.

Level Changes & Enhancements


Level 1 (Museum) – Trap after the first photo
After taking the first photo, you will trigger a trap—forcing you to act quickly and carefully from that moment on. This adds extra tension and makes every camera click a potentially fatal decision.

Level 3 – New creature & atmospheric upgrades

  1. A new, previously unknown monster has been added, increasing the element of surprise.
  2. Visual and audio changes intensify the tension on this level.
  3. New lighting effects, improved shadows, and enhanced audio immersion make every second in this location unsettling.

Technical Updates & Optimization

Full support for multiple platforms
The update is available for all system versions: Windows 64-bit, Windows 32-bit, Linux 64-bit, and Mac 64-bit. This means the improved version of the game now runs more smoothly and stably on every platform.

Linux optimization
I have implemented compatibility fixes for Linux users, removing issues that could cause instability and improving performance on this platform.

Bug fixes & improvements from the previous update
Several graphical issues from the last version have been fixed. Additionally, minor animation and interaction bugs have been resolved, ensuring a better overall experience.

Localization – Major Language Update

  1. A thorough update of all supported language translations. Many errors have been fixed, missing phrases added, and the translations refined to better capture the game's atmosphere.
  2. Translation improvements include Japanese, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Bengali, Basque, and many others.

Audio Enhancements – A New Horror Experience


New character sounds
New sound effects for the protagonist have been added—from breathing to fear reactions—making every moment of tension even more immersive.

Reworked pain sounds
The old pain sound has been replaced with a new recording that better conveys the character’s emotions, making every moment of suffering feel more realistic.

Other Changes & Fixes

  1. Additional improvements for smoother and more stable gameplay.
  2. UI elements refined for better readability.
  3. Minor bugs removed to improve the overall experience.

A big thank you to all players for your feedback, bug reports, and support. Thanks to you, HorrorCore is getting even better. Explore carefully and don’t trust what you see...
