Out now

A few things landed at once. Short version: Closed Casket got a real update, Who Sits Where is playable, there's an early 3D prototype you can poke at, and the PC downloads finally have a home. No dates for anything after that. Same as always.

Closed Casket 0.1.2 is live

Refresh /play/ (or grab a new download). Everyone in a room needs the same version — the title screen says 0.1.2.

In plain words, here's what changed:

  • Five serious bug fixes (things that actually broke a shift).
  • Three new client types: Leaker, VIP, and Cold One.
  • A new district, the Neon Mile, once you've done a couple of nights.
  • Night events (parade, road works, wrong bag), co-op moments (lift on three, high five, team mop), watch mode, rematch in the same room, and room filters.
  • Controller glyphs and rumble, a Low quality mode for slow phones, accessibility and comfort options.
  • About 15× less data while you're online (deltas instead of full snapshots every tick).
  • Crew radio works — opt-in voice, relayed so players never see each other's IPs.

PC downloads (Windows zip, Linux zip, AppImage) and the Android APK are on the game page, with sizes and SHA-256. Windows is still unsigned, so SmartScreen will complain — More info › Run anyway, or check the hash first.

Full list: What's new on the game page.

Who Sits Where is out

Game number two. A daily seating puzzle: one table, too many relatives, a list of demands, exactly one seating that works. Three new tables a day. Every past day stays in the archive. No streaks — nothing to lose if you skip a week.

Play in your browser. Downloads and the trailer are on the Who Sits Where page. Free, no ads, no accounts, no tracking; progress stays on your device. A 3D version is planned later — you'll pick 2D or 3D when that exists.

Early 3D prototype (with a warning)

You can try a graybox 3D build of Closed Casket: one rainy village. Walk, drive the hearse, carry caskets up and down stairs, drop them, strap and load. Offline with bots only. Online co-op for 3D is not in yet.

It is an early prototype. Blockout graphics. May be buggy or slow on older phones. Progress is not saved. The full game is still the 2D version.

Try the 3D prototype — you'll get a clear warning before it starts.

What's next

No dates. Roughly, in no rush:

  • 3D online co-op
  • 3D speed on phones
  • A handmade art pass for 3D
  • Then pick 2D or 3D in one Closed Casket
  • Who Sits Where 3D
  • The other titles still on the notice board

Tell us

If something breaks, leave a note. You'll get a ticket code you can check later. The survey is still there too. We read them.

Back to the night board.
