New Update - Patch notes

Hocus Focus · published 8 Aug 2026, 17:58 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone, thanks for playing Hocus Focus!

We've listened to your feedback and are hard at work addressing the things you've reported and suggested:

- Added a help button next to the settings button

- Fixed a bug where using the hide / unhide interface no longer showed the "home" button

- Empty tasks can't be checked off anymore

- Added more language-specific fonts for the text boxes

- Fixed a rare issue where certain antiviruses interfered with the game saving on exit

Still to come soon: skin tone customization

About this particular feature: we hoped it would be ready at launch, but there are some technical hoops we have to jump through to make it happen through code so as to keep the game lightweight. We're trying our best to both have a great looking game and not turn it into a resource hog.

Having the ability to maintain the customization options for your avatar in all locations already takes up a lot of resources (dozens of individual bodies, hairdos, separate articles of clothing adding up to thousands of possible combinations), so we're trying to be smart and efficient about it. It ended up taking longer than we expected, but it's coming!

Thanks for your patience and understanding - we're keeping an eye on feedback from you guys and addressing everything as soon as we can.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Enjoy your chill stay in Transylvania and keep summoning your focus!
