Major update

Demo Update - New Area, New Enemy, and Time of Day changes!

Barely Breathing Demo · published 6 Aug 2026, 15:24 UTC

Here are the new features:

  • New Section & Enemy - Swinging Pots & Flowing Gutters, and the Spider: This new section replaces the old gutter section. There's a dangerous enemy called the "Spider" (we aren't creative in naming things..) The spider will send you flying (not in a good way) if you're not careful!

  • Time of Day: As you progress through the house, the time will change dynamically, providing striking visuals and mood

  • Tea/Coffee actually burns: This was the most requested feature, so we definitely had to add it. Don't stay in there too long!

  • Dynamic Puddles: No more floating puddles (well, in most scenarios). Puddles will also react to the environment in a realistic way

  • Secret Teaser at the end: you'll just have to see for yourself 👀

Some fixes:

  • Sheen will no longer jitter when jumping and moving around

  • Camera has occlusion now, and will not go through major objects such as walls, floor, etc.

  • Surface Spill will be in the direction of the camera instead of where Sheen is looking

  • Circle animation when you run out of breath / reset

  • Various bug fixes

  • One too many quality of life features

Also, we will be joining the Cat Awareness Feline Sale 2026! We're joining with the evil cat boss named Matte, who will be a re-occurring boss throughout the house. The sale starts on August 7th and ends on August 17th. Give the other awesome cat games a try!

Thanks everyone for giving feedback and submitting bug reports. We read them all! (We'll admit it, some of you are funny)

Feel free to join our Discord to give personal feedback and get updates on the game regularly.
