New update: window resize, location ambient tweaks & more

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey all! We've been keeping a watchful eye on all the feedback you've been providing for us, and noting what you guys feel would improve your experience with Hocus Focus.

Window Resize

One of the suggestions that came up a lot was allowing the game window to be resized - it's now live in the latest update.

If you're in full screen, use the middle button in the top right corner to go into windowed mode, and then drag from the corners of the window to set the game to your desired width and height.


Note: when going back into full screen, the game may sometimes display with thin horizontal black bars on the top and bottom. Clicking the in-game maximize button a couple of times fixes this.

Please let us know if this feature works nicely for you!


Updated Ambient Sound for Locations

As mentioned in a previous update, we were aware that certain sounds in the mix of location ambient files

jumped out a bit too much (e.g. dogs barking, church bells tolling, creaky sounds etc). We've adjusted a lot of these ambient files, so they should be less intrusive now.

Also, don't forget that you can always adjust these location ambient sounds from the volume mixer, under "Location":

⏲ Timer alarm selection previews had stopped working in the previous update, they are fixed in this current build.

We're still at work on skin tone customization, it will come soon but there are thousands of individual frames that need adjusting, repacking and implementing, so it's taking a while.Enjoy Hocus Focus, and let us know in the replies if anything goes wonky with these changes 🙏- Stuck In Attic
