The Agency has officially opened its doors.After months of changes, additions, fixes and transformations… the game leaves Early Access and enters its final form.But every complete system needs to be measured.

| Update #21 | 2026-03-04 | The Agency continues to change. Small details. New interfaces. Technical improvements that make every floor more believable… and every corridor a little more real.

| Update #18 | 2026-02-21 | There are stories that linger in the corridors. Whispers between one desk and another. Glances that last a second too long.With this update, the Agency opens a new wound in its memory: Betty’s. An unpublished flashback, divided into three rooms, where you will walk through her obsession… and collect what she left behind.But it’s not only the past that changes. Now your mind is tracked in real time as well. The personality meters update instantly and are visible directly in the Moral Station. Every choice moves the needle. Every doubt leaves an immediate mark. 🛠 Update – Betty & Real-Time Personality Modified the personality meters: they now |
| Update #17 | 2026-02-15 | The Agency no longer just judges you. Now it watches you… and measures you. With this update, moral choices become more than a simple “yes” or “no”: they become a public, living, statistical reflection. You will see in real time what others have answered. And how often your conscience aligns (or clashes) with theirs. And as if that weren’t enough, image selection also changes skin: no more “on the fly” picks. Now you sit in front of a computer… and truly choose. Slowly. Doubtfully. With that uneasy feeling that someone is taking notes. 🛠 Update – Live Morality & Photo TerminalUpdated the graphics of the Moral Station: you can now see other p |
| Update #16 | 2026-02-13 | Every day, the Agency changes its mood. Every day, it demands something different from you. From now on, you won’t face only the 10 floors. You will also face a series of objectives that renew daily, designed to test your clarity, your strategy… and your ability to adapt. Because here it’s not enough to survive. You must prove consistency. 🎯 Update – Daily Challenges & Stability Fix Added Daily Challenges: from the second run onward, the Challenges of the Day will be available on the Notice Board PCEvery day, 6 new random challenges will be generatedBy completing at least 3, you will obtain the Reward of the DayRewards may include money, Tok |
| Update #15 | 2026-02-06 | Every mistake leaves a trace. Every wrong choice is noted, archived… and observed. With this update, the Agency becomes more unstable than ever. New anomalies infest the corridors, while a new tool begins recording what employees around the world are doing, in real time. 🛠 Update – Surveillance, Anomalies & Company Assets Added the new “Warning Board”, positioned near the elevatorsThe Warning Board shows in real time the actions, mistakes, and failures of other playersIntroduced a new dimension of collective observation: the Agency now knows what everyone is doingAdded 76 new anomalies, drastically increasing the unpredictability of every fl |

| Update #13 | 2026-02-01 | Every decision leaves a mark. Every choice, even the smallest one, remains imprinted somewhere. With this update, the Agency begins to remember. And it does so in ways that profoundly change your relationship with work, with space… and with yourself.Runs are no longer isolated. Psychological results persist. Rooms transform. And what you find along the corridors may follow you far longer than you imagine. 🛠 Update – Identity, Memory & BlueprintsAdded new psychological profiles, expanding the variety of outcomes and interpretations of player behaviorPsychological results are now saved between runs, influencing the long-term pathAdded 120 new |
| Update #12 | 2026-01-24 | Sometimes the Agency does not add new rooms.Sometimes it adds something that breathes.And from that moment on, every floor stops being just a test… and becomes a responsibility. Starting today, from the second run onward, a new office “investment” is unlocked: a 1950s Artificial Intelligence.It is not a menu. It is not an upgrade. It is an entity to follow, keep alive, and help grow.If you neglect it, it shuts down. If you guide it to singularity… it will repay you.🛠 Update – Office AI (1950s) Added the 1950s Artificial Intelligence. From the second run onward, the office AI will be unlocked.

| Update #9 | 2026-01-10 | There are games that end when a final screen appears.And then there are others… that begin again from there.With this update, the Agency changes the rules of the game and adds a Roguelite system.

| Update #8 | 2026-01-05 | Some updates add content… and some updates change the way you perceive it. With this update, the Agency has put on new makeup — but not to please. Colors, interfaces, icons, and images have been redesigned from top to bottom to push the 1950s atmosphere even further… that neat, orderly patina that, when you look closely, always hides something underneath. 🛠 Update – Total Restyling Redesigned the colors of the entire office to better match the 1950s Replaced all images of candidates to be hired Replaced all images of the “Which do you prefer?” test Replaced all investment images Redesigned the UI of the investments Redesigned the final icons |
| Update #7 | 2026-01-03 | Some trials do not measure talent.They measure fear. Confrontation. The suspicion that someone is about to take your place.With this update, the Agency opens a new file.

| Update #6 | 2026-01-01 | A new year has just begun. The Agency never stopped. Not even to raise a toast. This is just a small update. A wish. And a signal of what is yet to come. 🛠 Update – Happy New YearLeaderboard display fixedImproved TV graphics with questions“The calendar has changed. The rules have not. In the coming days, the Agency will open doors that until now have remained closed. And not everyone will be ready to see what lies on the other side.” Happy New Year everyone.

| Update #5 | 2025-12-30 | Some stories cannot be told all at once. They need time. Silence. And someone willing to go all the way to the end. With this update, a narrative thread that began some time ago finally reaches its conclusion. And while one story closes, the Agency continues to grow, to invest… and to observe. 🛠 Update – Expansion & Conclusions Added the second part of Arthur’s Story Added the final part of Arthur’s Story Improved the Leaderboard Added 600 new investments “Every story, sooner or later, asks to be concluded. But not all conclusions bring answers. Some leave only new questions, harder to ignore. Arthur has spoken. Now it’s up to you to decide |
| Update #4 | 2025-12-28 | The Agency continues to expand. And with it, what hides behind its rules. The television can now become a direct source of money: bags of cash appearing on the floor, like a silent invitation to keep going. A tangible help… but one that never comes without consequences.The selection of candidates and photographs has been made more immediate: you can now choose directly from the zoom, reducing the distance between observation and decision. Fewer steps, more responsibility.The Agency fills with new faces: 200 new candidates to hire, each with different details, nuances, and possibilities. Some seem perfect. Others… less so.A new area makes its |
| Update #3 | 2025-12-24 | Today is December 24th. While celebrations take place outside, the Agency has decided to leave something under the tree. It’s not a package. It’s not a ribbon. It’s memory. With this update comes an important change: the game now remembers what you have already faced, conquered, and discovered. Some progress is no longer erased, but becomes part of your journey, run after run. A small Christmas gift. Designed to stay with you longer… between one floor and the next. 🎁 Update – Happy Holidays & Improvements Added the Autosave system. Between one run and another, the game remembers which cards you have already unlocked and which Employees of th |
| Update #2 | 2025-12-22 | When debt stops biting and slowly begins to smile… the Agency grants privileges!With this update comes a new key element for those who manage to turn their fate around: the Vending Machine.It doesn’t sell simple snacks. It sells possibilities. Second chances. Sugary choices… with a bitter aftertaste.Some products can save you from a mistake. Others can push you forward faster. Others still play with chance, risk, and memory.But be careful: not everything that looks like help truly is.🛠 Update – New Content & Improvements Added 2 new False Positives Added mirror reflection in the bathroom flashback Fixed the photo minigame.

| Scary Shadow Spot - All In | 2025-12-19 | Some games are made to be finished. And then there are others that are meant to be lived. Scary Shadow Spot – ALL IN clearly belongs to the second category. This project has been with me for almost two years. Two years of rewritten ideas, systems thrown away and rebuilt, nights spent wondering whether what I was building truly made sense. Today I can finally say it: ALL IN is real. And it’s available in Early Access. What is Scary Shadow Spot – ALL IN ALL IN is a loop-based psychological horror set in a 1950s advertising agency. Neatly arranged desks. Reassuring slogans. Televisions always on. An environment that feels stable, safe, almost co |
| The Shadowletter - December 2025 | 2025-12-15 | Welcome to the December Shadowletter! Yes, we know: it’s been a while since the last one. But this time it’s not because we stopped. It’s because we were building something big. Something risky. Something that, if it works the way it should, will make you say: “Okay… I’ve never played anything like this.” Friday, December 19th at 3:00 PMScary Shadow Spot – ALL IN arrives in Early Access It’s official: this Friday, the doors of the agency open. And inside that agency, there’s more than just a horror game. There’s an experiment.
