We noticed that some of our players were experiencing some bugs since our last update and this hotfix aims to fix those bugs we have seen our players experiencing. - Fix for any previously collected junk respawning on re-entering certain rooms when continuing a saved position from an older version of the game. - Fix for a progression blocking bug that could occur in the Prison section of the game if player was killed at the same time as unlocking a door.

It's not been long since our last content update and we have some more content for you to enjoy in our latest v1.5.2 patch along with a couple of fixes. See the full patch notes below: * Hats!

Surprise! We are continuing to release new content for Horace and this small update brings some exciting new ideas that you won't want to miss! Features * The Ninja Suit! This becomes available to buy in the in-game shops towards the end of the game. It not only looks really cool but also gives you five seconds of absolute invulnerability, which should make reaching the magic 1,000,000 junk a bit easier. * Portable Game Guy Device! Also available to buy in the in-game shops is the GameGuy, a portable gaming device in glorious green-tinted monochrome. It comes bundled with a new mini game that

Horace, the ambitious story-driven 2D platformer that Eurogamer's Martin Robinson liked really rather a lot on its release last year, is currently free on the Epic Games Store, meaning you've yet another opportunity to expand your interminable gaming backlog. Developed by Paul Helman and Sean Scapelhorn, Horace casts players as the titular hero, a small robot "learning of life, the universe and Douglas Adams". Horace is, at least in part, a richly inventive platformer, offering up its own unique spin on the rather well-worn Metroidvania formula. But it's also very British love letter to video

Horace is an unpredictable platformer with a narrative bent and plenty of mechanical twists. It's not what it always seems, but to find out more you'll need to take it for a spin yourself. Thankfully, it's free on the Epic Games Store for a week.  OK, maybe you can find out a bit more before you take the plunge. Here's Dominic Tarason's take on why this weird platformer is more than worth a look: Six hours into Horace and after several genre shifts, I officially gave up trying to predict what this narrative-driven adventure was hiding up its sleeve next. What star

As many of our players will already know, Horace was developed over 7 years and was made by just two people. Labor of Love is certainly an apt nomination for this year’s Steam awards given the dedication and passion from developers Paul Helman and Sean Scaplehorn. Please consider nominating Horace for the Labor of Love Award at the Steam Awards 2019 and share your vote with your friends. Since launching the game, more content has been added and we have also released the Soundtrack on Steam. There is still more content in the pipeline so we hope people, both new and old, jump into the game in t

Six hours into Horace and after several genre shifts, I officially gave up trying to predict what this narrative-driven adventure was hiding up its sleeve next. What started as a gentle if cutscene-heavy platformer about a robot butler and his quest to clean up rubbish had metamorphosed into a grand, generation-spanning adventure, dense with pathos, some dark humour, plus some genuine tragedy when you least expect it. Best, then, to go with the flow and see where the story took me. If it weren’t for some friends’ glowing recommendations, I probably would have missed out on Horace
