Foolish doctors. You dare tempt fate yet again?

The Slaughtered Goat Tavern is NOW AVAILABLE for you to enter.

If you dare...

Indeed, this latest update to adds the much anticipated tavern level to the cliffs of Gloomwood.

And as you can see, it's much more than just a rotten old building to explore. Inside is the deadliest foe you've yet to encounter. And the son of a bitch has the key to get out.

Steal it from him, take it off his corpse, turn tail and ignore the tavern all together. It matters not. You'll never survive the night. Not on Blood Moon anyway.



However, this update also adds the more lenient CRESCENT MOON difficulty. With easier enemies, more resources and yes, yes...

QUICKSAVING. (F6 / F9)

(You can also use quicksaves for higher difficulties in the user.ini by setting AllowQuicksave 1, you filth)

On top of that are all new terrifying animations for the huntsmen, some new and improved voice lines, interactive telescopes, improved mantling, fixes, changes, additions and more.


Thus ends our updates for Gloomwood in 2022!

Since our Early Access launch just a short 4 months ago we've been hard at work taking your feedback and applying it directly to the game's development. And this last update for the year is a tribute to that.



We hope you enjoy it, continue to enjoy Gloomwood, and are happy to keep contributing to it's continued development and success.

We'll see you all in the Market District in 2023.
