Hey, we've had some reports recently that some achievements weren't working after the latest game update.I've had a look into this and it was an issue on the Steam backend where unfortunately when adding the new Chinese translations for achievements some were added in the wrong place. This meant that when the game tried to unlock that achievement (when playing in any language) it wasn't able to.The achievements impacted by this were:LumberjackOverkillHeartbrokenPostwomanIndecisiveThe fix is now live and Heartbroken, Postwoman and Indecisive should automatically unlock next time you load a save

It's easy to reduce Sorry We're Closed to a checklist of Silent Hill 2-isms. Fixed camera angles? Check. Psychosexual monster design? Check. Filthy, rust-eaten environments? Check. However, like the celestial beings that make up its cast, this familiar visage is only skin-deep. Whereas others seek to replicate the formula to pay homage or to recreate it for modern audiences, indie studio À La Mode is incomparably brave. This scion stands before the sacred cow that birthed it and dares to continue the conversation that Silent Hill 2 began two decades ago. Read the rest of the story...

Today’s patch updates controller sensitivity, smoothness and adds an adjustable aim assist feature for targeting enemy weak points. This is an update I’ve been working on for several weeks with the goal of improving play when using a controller. Aiming should be smoother and we’re hoping it makes for a comfortable experience when playing with a controller. The “Weak Point Aim Assist” will help with aiming at enemy weak points while using the third eye, it has low, medium and high settings. You can combine it with the existing “Weak Point Stickiness” setting which helps to keep weak points targ
