Is it a bug? 🐛 Or a feature? 🎮

We’ve added a dither fade background to our menu UI! 🎮⬛

What could we improve?

We’ve spent a lot of time implementing key rebinding to ensure our game is accessible to more people.

And of course we had to make sure even the most chaotic players can’t break it! 👾

Trying out camera angles to make use of the 3D behind our pixelated look 📷

What else could we try?

Implementing key rebinding is truly a mountain of a task ⛰️

Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with all the different keyboard layouts?

How we create the effect of underwater particles appearing only within volumetric light! 💡🔥

🚨Mayday, #PitchYaGame!

KEROGEN is an oil-drenched psychological #horrorgame where you:

🛢️- Explore a wrecked oil tanker with subnautical drones.
🎣- Dredge up cursed corpses from a surreal oil spill.
🧿- Stir up secrets that should have stayed below.
