Hello everyone!

We are here with the 0.5.3 patch. This update fixes many of the issues you have been experiencing while also introducing the highly requested BUGPHOBIA MODE!

Bugphobia Mode

You can now enable this in the settings menu. It replaces small bugs with spheres, turns the larger ones into cute objects, and removes all bug sounds. You can finally enjoy the game with your friends even if bugs creep you out!

Optional Task Adjustments

After finishing the mandatory bug-related tasks, the required percentage of optional tasks felt too grindy for many players, so we have reduced the requirements across the board:

  • 1 Player: Reduced from 90% to 75%

  • 2 Players: Reduced from 92% to 80%

  • 3 Players: Reduced from 95% to 85%

  • 4 Players: Reduced from 97% to 90%

Rest of the patch

  • Improved item inventory placement and removed the obsolete (R) key prompt.

  • Improved the reliability of the washing and drying machines.

  • Added a completion medal indicator to maps you have already finished.

  • Updated the beetle mission text to be more informative.

  • Added a "Refrigerator Door" interaction label to refrigerators.

  • Removed an outdated warning message stating you would lose progress when quitting a map.

  • Added the target completion percentage to the top of the screen, right next to your current percentage.

  • Added a pickup prompt to clothes.

  • Removed the "Press Left Click" prompt from the centipede lure.

  • Fixed an issue where using the bench press unintentionally increased bug noise.
