Hi everyone!

We have been absolutely blown away by the response to It Has My Face. The tension, the chaos, the heart-pounding moments of nearly escaping your own clone... it has been incredible to see so many of you experiencing it and sharing your hunt. Seeing the community grow and reading all the positive feedback genuinely keeps us going. Thank you. Now let's talk about what's new.

New: Daily Challenges

On top of the existing Invasion mode we are introducing Daily Challenges, a brand new way to play It Has My Face every single day.

Each day a new randomized run is generated specifically for that day. Many parameters and mutators are randomized and can reach wildly different values from what you might be used to. Some days will feel manageable. Other days will feel completely unhinged. And occasionally you will encounter anomalies, which are exaggerated effects where certain parameters go far beyond their normal range and turn the whole run into something special.

A few important things to know:

  • You can only attempt the daily challenge once per day

  • We track your streaks so you can see how consistent you have been

  • You do not need to win the run to keep your streak. As long as you play that day your streak stays alive

It is a great way to stay sharp and see how your skills hold up against whatever the day throws at you.

We have a new achievement with this mode!

First Mark

Win a Daily Challenge

Since this is a new achievement, if you've gotten the "The Completionist" achievement, you will lose it until you unlock this achievement as well. But it's a pretty straightforward achievement and not that hard to get.

New: Screen Effects

This one has been sitting in the back of my head for a long time. I really wanted to add a pixelation filter to the game ever since Early Access and now it is finally here. You can now experience It Has My Face in a delightfully old-school way and try to find your clone in even fewer pixels than before. And if pixelation is not unsettling enough there is also a VHS option for a grainy old-movie look that adds a whole new layer of dread.

We have three new visual styles to choose from:

Pixelated

Pixelated V2 (more pixels)

VHS

Head into the settings and give them a try. They work entirely as optional overlays so you can switch back anytime.

Full 1.0.11 Changelog & Bug Fixes

  • Now if you've unlocked invasion mode and daily challenges, they stay unlocked (if you've unlocked them before this update, you need to finish the game again)

  • Fixed dialogue screen pressing continue skipping the typewriter and closing the dialogue if it's the last line

That is everything for this update! We hope the daily challenges give you a reason to come back every day and that the new screen effects make your runs feel fresh and a little more terrifying. As always we very much welcome your feedback. Have a great day hunting your clone!
