| Undershadows [Update 14] | 2025-04-23 | Main files in the system structure have been revised, resulting in a larger update. Fixes a bug that prevented players from moving in the classroom. A clickable info window now appears in the shop, allowing players to open their inventory and see if they've reached their maximum item limit before purchasing anything.

| Adjustments | 2025-04-20 | The third phase of the Mushroom King has been reworked. The projectiles now travel more slowly and should be easier to hit. |
| Undershadows [Update 13] | 2025-04-18 | Fixes an issue that made clicking impossible. Fixes a bug related to zoom. Fixes a bug with dashing. Fixes an error that occurred in connection with the core file. Due to the bug in the options menu, I had to restructure the main files. As a result, some default functions reverted to an older version, which I have now corrected. Everything should be working again. Have a great day/evening, ChelseaGrinEden |
| Fixes | 2025-04-18 | Fixes a bug that caused clicks to stop working properly. Fixes the issue with the switches — they should now save as expected again, even after leaving the game. You'll be asked for your character once upon loading. This question won't appear again. The reason turned out to be that I had integrated the checkpoints into the options menu, which somehow broke the structure. For now, checkpoints will remain permanently enabled. I'll create a dedicated options menu for them on the desktop screen at a later time. |
| Undershadows [Update 12] | 2025-04-17 | Text prompts awaiting player input have all been edited.

| Undershadows [Update 11] Undershadows [Update 11] Important! | 2025-04-15 | It is possible that existing save files might encounter a bug. Some of the global switches could be reset. This affects the following settings: The desktop screen start The character selection (Boy or Girl) The language selection If you're also affected by this error, you may need to delete the "config.rmmzsave" file after an update. It's located in this folder: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Undershadows\save Since this file won't be replaced locally during an update, everything should work again when you restart the game. All you have to do is press "P" for the options on the desktop screen after the three tutorial messages are over and sele |

Balance adjustments made to the HP of some ene |
| Fixes | 2025-04-11 | Fixed a bug in Phase 1 of the Mushroom King where the player could continue attacking after being crushed. Fixed an issue where quitting the game during the Mushroom King fight would reset progress, forcing a restart despite having reached a checkpoint. (Note: Changes only take effect after dying again.) Fixed a display bug when dying for the first time in Phase 2 of the Mushroom King while having the checkpoint. The checkpoint prompt during the Mushroom King fight now waits for player input. |

| Undershadows [Small Update] | 2025-04-07 | Add a timer to the trash room so you know how long you have to wait. |
| Undershadows [Small Update] | 2025-04-07 | Fixed an issue with running speed in school. The garbage room has received additional clues and the switch in the middle will no longer trigger once activated. Regards, ChelseaGrinEden |
| Undershadows [Update 6] | 2025-04-05 | Hello, Here is another update on Undershadows. The campfire has been revised. You can now choose whether to rest or just save. This way, you don’t have to watch the entire sleeping scene again. The Mushroom King has also been revised. If you die for the first time, the mask transformation part will be skipped, and the fight will start immediately. The code puzzle at the beginning has received an additional hint to provide more clarity. An extra hint has also been added to the machine puzzle. At the beginning of the game, some corrections were made to the drawings and text passages. The intro sequence has been shortened. Some conversations abo |
| Undershadows [Update 5] | 2025-04-04 | Hello, here’s a another update for Undershadows. A bug with the second campfire has been fixed, so you are now sent to sleep immediately without saving. A bug with the second campfire when talking to the Mask has been fixed, where an empty field was displayed that served no purpose. For the first boss, the Mushroom King, a feature has been added where a checkpoint will be unlocked if you die more than five times in the second or third phase. The enemies in the first two maps of the Grasslands have been made slightly weaker and now have less health, as it was found that with a level 1 Shadow, you couldn't achieve much. Some hidden items, like |
| Undershadows [Update 4] | 2025-04-03 | Hello, here’s a small update for Undershadows that includes a few fixes: The menu, which becomes available after entering the Grasslands, now includes a tab for “Options”, where you can adjust the volume, and an "Exit" button to quit the game more quickly. The intro has been completely removed and will be made optionally accessible at a later point. The game now starts directly before the house sequence. Several cuts were made during the classroom and soul sequence to reduce the time it takes to reach the Shadow Realm. Have a great day/evening! ChelseaGrinEden |
| Undershadows [Update 3] | 2025-04-03 | Hello, Here’s a small update for Undershadows that fixes a few things. Some players misunderstood the intentionally ‚trash‘ start. It is meant to show how the shadows take over your PC and improvise. To clarify any confusion, I’ve added a conversation where the shadows address the state of things. The machine puzzle has been expanded with a new button. This moves the rows completely down, so it no longer takes forever to reach the desired point. Additionally, small visual hints have been added to the machine puzzle. What I’m working on this week: Rebuilding the entire text so that it waits for the player’s input, except for certain scenes tie |

The tutorial in the school has been revised to make the Mouse Eye and save function more visible. An icon now appears in the top-right corner when the game is saved. Some enemies in the first area have been adjusted to deal less damage. Next, I will be working on redesigning the text for the entire game. The text will now wait for the player's input and won’t disappear on its own. However, som |
| Undershadows [Update 1] | 2025-04-01 | In the Portal room, when entering the Shadow World, the pad for the code is now more visible. In the Portal room, the note has been slightly modified as it could have been misunderstood. In the machine puzzle, the switches were not loaded properly after the covers were removed. A sequence in the cage room was not loaded correctly. Trophies were not activated correctly in the . If you notice anything else, feel free to contact me :) Best regards, ChelseaGrinEden |
