Message from Developers.

Hey everyone! First off, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your incredible support of Puppet Master: The Game. Our game relies solely on you generous folks who purchase our DLC skins; without your support, updates like these wouldn’t be possible!

It's been an incredible journey, starting out as a fan project and evolving into an officially licensed game. It's truly been an honor. Over the years, our small team of just three part-time developers has worked nonstop to bring you a free-to-play multiplayer experience, always delivering updates to keep things fresh and exciting. Every bit of our free time, outside of our day jobs, goes into this project. The funds we generate help cover crucial expenses like taxes, studio and server fees, and new features. Your enthusiasm and feedback are what keep us going the most, but honestly, we're feeling pretty burnt out and need a break. So as the holiday season approaches, we want to let you know that in 2024 the Halloween event will be the final major update for Puppet Master: The Game this year.

Looking ahead to 2025, things are still pretty uncertain. We've been talking with Full Moon Features for months about a possible console port, but nothing's set in stone. If we do move forward, it'll take a lot of development time to fix up the current issues and meet Sony and Microsoft’s standards. That means we’d need to go all-in with an actual budget, which we just don't have at the moment. We will keep you posted via socials and Steam News in the future.

We know that sharing this information might negatively impact the excitement and monetization of the game, especially with the newly released DLC skin pack, but we want to be fully transparent with you about what’s happening behind the scenes before you continue to support us. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us on our socials or on Discord.

There’s so much more we want to do with Puppet Master: The Game, but for now, we need to rest and figure out our next steps.

Thanks again for your incredible support, and we hope you have a Happy and Spooky Halloween!

NEW MAP - ARCADIA TOY WAREHOUSE

As seen in the 1992 movie, Demonic Toys, this two story map has a small labyrinth of boxes perfect for ambushing unexpecting prey as a killer toy.



We recreated key locations from the movie, including Charnetski’s Security Guard Office, the Master’s Sacrificial Pentagram, and the storage room where Judith was trapped. There are also references to the *Dollman vs. Demonic Toys* version of the warehouse, along with new areas designed specifically for the game.






Escaping the Arcadia Warehouse works a bit differently. After completing the game mode’s objective, you must head to Charnetski’s Security Guard Office and use his phone to order Chunky Chicken.


Next, you’ll need to make your way to the double doors by choosing one of three routes back to the first floor: the Red Stairway, the Green Stairway, or, if you’re feeling adventurous,



a drop from the loading bay, which provides quicker access to the exit but causes falling damage—so be careful! Once on the first floor, you’ll need to reach the exit and meet the delivery guy outside the Warehouse to escape.




Good Luck!
