Hey everyone, we're releasing a major content update for Sunken Heads! The main goal of this update is to hopefully add a little bit more to do towards the end of the game. We think Sunken Heads is at its best when you're exploring new areas and speaking to new characters. At the end of the game however, these opportunities dried up a bit. Hopefully this new content helps with that drop off! The new content adds 2 additional endings.

In addition to the new content there are numerous improvements that should improve the experience for new players. Below is a list of all the changes. If you have not played Sunken Heads before, I would not bother reading the changes as they may contain spoilers.

New Content

• 2 additional endings!
• A new questline with a bunch of new characters.
• Cut content is now added to the game as an easter egg!

Technical Changes

• Billboard type objects (such as NPCs, bushes) no longer have collision.
• Support for more resolutions, should be all supported by your monitor.
• Fixed scaling for different resolutions.
• Fixed some font scaling problems present at lower resolutions.
• Game version is checked at launch, and you are warned if your game is out of date (from here forward).
• Tutorial notifications now stick around until the action in the hint is performed. This should help people from missing them.
• Only 4 orbs are shown on the HUD now, since only 4 are required.
• Ending credits now display the ending name instead of the joke text.
• Dialogue no longer times out. It now stays up until you click.

Gameplay Changes (spoiler warning!)

• Ghost of Tedious Walking added to the final island.
• You can now buy the lighter without interacting with the torches.
• All pickupable items should now shimmer.
• You now have another shot at getting the ferry operating system disk.
• The engineer at the end of the game is now more descriptive about where you need to go. He also reminds you where you need to go when you return to him.
• Lowered the fogginess in the tundra scene.
• The goth lair door is now a bit more obvious.
• Something happens with the shoe jester after all shoes have been purchased.
• The carnival strength game now has a way to win more frequently.
• Can no longer use the payphone buttons while holding unrelated items in your hands.
• Added some colored lights to the ladders in Area Z to help differentiate the entrance and exit.
• Extended the interact hitbox on some ladders in the sewer.
• Chefs now react to you speaking to a certain secret character.
• Fixed a graphical issue with the pipe puzzle.
• Slowed down some attacks on a certain final boss, and added a mercy rule when you fail too many times to it.
• Fixed some areas where the footstep sounds were wrong or not present.
• Reworked one of the endings.
  • Many people found one of the endings on of the game to be a bit underwhelming, and we agreed. Some people didn't even realize it was a different ending from one they had seen previously. We've changed it a bit to differentiate it a bit more from one of the other ones.
