Happy 10th anniversary, IMSCARED! To celebrate this day, I prepared a free big "remaster" update to the game. There's a lot to say and I'll do that as soon as my heart stops beating so fast. Thanks, everyone. Feel free to check out what changed here:

Did you know? IMSCAREDs maps are modular, made as a top-down game because GameMaker doesn't have a 3D editor (it's a 2D focused tool) and because at the time it was easier for me to make modular maps and toy with them...

I'm afraid you're all hyping a bit too much and I think that this hype will come and crush me in the end😨 As I stated multiple times, IMSCARED 2022 is just a "remaster" of the old game: it will have some differences, but it's the same game you've already played in 2016!

Day 4: blood trails in 2016 were made by having a LOT of small objects making draw calls. This was easy to do but heavy on the system, so a lot of time went on remaking the entire blood trail as a model... Silly, but I'm happy. Street section is almost done!
