Thank you for playing Episode 1 of AMERICAN HORRIFICA! We had a lot of fun making and playing this first pilot episode. Although this is heavily inspired by the low poly memories of yesteryear, we realized it doesn't have to feel like one so we've made a few quality of life improvements to make this and future installments immerse you as seamlessly as cinema.

Controls

Keyboard Controls have been updated to be friendly with typical custom mappings using a third party controller program such as JoyToKey. Previously there was an issue with pause and menu configurations. Dedicated controller support is coming!

Glitches

One of the enemies had a tendency to get stuck behind a corner and never come out. There was also a slight hiccup with the Item ranking in the post level grading.

Quality of Life

Picking up bottles now allows them to pool instead of only being able to carry one at a time when you find them. 

Bottles and notes picked up in the level are now both represented on the upper right HUD. There are also now on-screen prompts for walking near items to pick up or examine. 

First person view has been updated to allow for all direction viewing instead of straight ahead. It's much better for finding secrets now.

Next update:

Dedicated controller mappings. Once this is fully up and rolling, everyone can enjoy AMERICAN HORRIFICA on their preferred control setup of choice.

Possibly a tease of Episode 2: "A Reluctant Illumination". 

Thanks for playing!
