Empty House Demo Update v0.1.4 (2026.10.18)

We listened to everyone who made it out of the house, and quietly slipped in a second round of fixes.

Controls

• Key remap — Disguise Q, Radio V, Crouch hold Ctrl / toggle C. On-screen key prompts now match the actual keys.
• Look back — Hold B to look behind you. While disguised, it switches to a front-facing shot.
• Inventory — You can swap what's in your hand for an item on the ground even with a full bag. Holding a two-handed item locks item switching.
• Bus terminal keyboard controls — ↑↓ to pick a destination, Enter to depart. Shop and ready panels work with the keyboard too.

Zombies

• New animations — New run and roar animations for Walker, Listener and Stalker. Feet stay planted; no more sliding.
• Zombies no longer push — Instead of shoving you around, zombies step aside or stop.
• Eye contact — Zombies turn their heads to look at you while chasing or attacking.

Houses & Bus

• Manor added — Manor (Easy / Normal / Hard) added to the demo destinations.
• Destination names unified — Theme (Difficulty) format: Villa / Subway / Prison / Manor (Easy / Normal / Hard).
• Revisits allowed — You can return to destinations you've already visited. They're just marked "Visited".
• Vaccine count — Destination details now show how many vaccines are there.
• Vaccine deadline — Vaccines are due on day 3.
• Door animation — Holding a door cracks it open with a rattle. Door open/close sounds now come from the door itself.

Damage & Screen

• Hit camera kick — The camera jolts when a zombie hits you. The damage vignette has been toned down.
• Vaccine slot highlight — Inventory slots holding a vaccine are tinted blue.
• First-use hints — A hint appears the first time you hold the flashlight, blood pack or boombox.

Bug Fixes

• Sealed the drop at the end of the prison cell block.
• Fixed padlocks that couldn't be grabbed.
• Fixed arms twisting when holding a flashlight or one-handed item while disguised.
• Fixed the microphone panel pushing other settings off the gameplay settings screen.
• Fixed corpses launching into the air.
• Blood packs no longer spawn in maps; they're shop-only now.
