Twisted Tower Patch Notes & Guide Updates

• Progression and secrets: the Hotel secrets were fixed, older-save progress tracking now carries over correctly, and the Secret Safari unlock was restored. The Floor 1 exit, puzzle-key matching, and a death pit on Floor 2 were corrected. The Spider Mother arena now registers completion properly, the Casino door no longer stays shut after a death, and the Cupid loveseat placement, saving, and prompt were fixed. Adventure Plus playtime and Hard-mode checkpoint health were adjusted.
• Movement and input: stray movement and input during pausing, dialogue, cutscenes, and loading were cleaned up, along with sliding, crouching, jumping, air-dash, and narrow-ledge movement. The player collision that enemy projectiles are meant to hit was restored, and repeated interactions or dropping a held item by accident no longer happen.
• Weapons and combat: underwater attacks and weapon-swap states were fixed, along with the Tommy Gun and Miss Fire special abilities. The Sling Snipe no longer crashes when fired empty and its missing projectile is back, wasted ammo pickups were removed, the Gumball Globe ammo display was corrected, and the Lightspeed phone enemies now share a death state.
• Interface and carts: the weapon wheel now pauses televisions and dialogue, the cart can be paused, and cart controls were fixed. Key-binding scrolling and labels, gamepad language navigation, and the FOV readout (now shown in degrees) were corrected.
• Presentation and audio: the Black and White picture and low-health effect while using treats were fixed, along with dialogue skipping and flicker, voice playback, distant impact sounds, the mallet sound effect, and the spider chase music. Button lights and leftover lights and music were cleaned up, and the menu logo, tape artwork, subtitles, journal text, credits, and typos were corrected.

• Not a game patch: the official announcement that the Twisted Tower soundtrack is now available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
• Credits the score to Quinten Coblentz, with Chandler Anderson, Matt Rexford, and Thomas Brush also lending their talents to individual tracks.
• The post highlights the track “Your Love Was Never Mine,” which grew from a hummed voice memo into an authentic 1940s jazz song with live vocals, violins, and brass.

• Progression, secrets, and saving: the Secret Journal total was fixed so every valid route correctly tracks secrets; older saves whose outdated route information could incorrectly display 27 available secrets were fixed; secret-route tracking across Adventure Plus was improved so secrets remain assigned to the path and area where they were actually found; several backtracking gates in the Exterior and alternate Clown Casino routes were fixed; redundant backup-save creation during repeated scene transitions was reduced while normal checkpoint and transition saves were preserved; the save indicator now stays visible during very fast saves and scene transitions.
• Controls and interface: mouse aiming consistency improved, including diagonal movement and rapid input events; default mouse sensitivity and smoothing values updated; the camera FOV now updates immediately after display settings are reset; menus no longer react to pointer, keyboard, or controller input while the game is unfocused; the Journal no longer opens while weapon-wheel slow motion is active; Black and White Mode was extended to the HUD, menus, text, and other overlay interface elements.
• Gameplay and combat: the dash no longer occasionally fails to refresh when landing; ammo collected during a reload is no longer lost when the reload completes; weapon firing cooldowns no longer reset when rapidly swapping weapons; clipless weapons no longer attempt to reload after firing; the Tommy Gun’s special attack no longer consumes ammunition beyond the currently loaded magazine; the Exterior Sling Snipe can no longer be collected through a wall; teleporter activations, player-cart collision on quick exits, physics props activating twice from a single push, an invalid physics setup on a Hotel entrance rope, a television collider that could trap the player, detached fire-extinguisher particles, and the delayed low-health treat flash were all fixed; an unintended Chapter 1 grapple-puzzle shortcut was closed.
• Visuals and performance: fog across Chapters 1–3 was optimized and adjusted, NPC head tracking was tweaked, and the Exterior scene, collision, and visuals got further cleanup.
• What it means for your run: pre-patch saves could show a Journal counter capped at 27; on v1.0.4.4.2 every valid route tracks correctly. We re-checked our secret-hunting pages against this patch. See the secrets guide and the interactive checklist.

• A thank-you letter from Thomas Brush rather than a patch list, but it carries real build news: a new version, v 1.0.4.3.1, had recently been pushed with minor bug fixes, UI clean-up, and added checkpoint stability.
• Reports that the game had hit an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, and credits the bug-fixing push to work with James Tusha of Signal Spike Games, going through player bug reports.
• Confirms localization work: implementation is underway for a handful of major languages, with translations being prepared and tested in the game.
• Redirects bug reports to the official Twisted Tower Discord, described as the best place to send them.

• The entire post: minor UI bug fixes and added stability when restarting from checkpoints.

• The entire post: this patch resolves a very rare instance where the player can find themselves locked behind some arena / lock-down gates upon restarting from a checkpoint.

• Launch-day post. It reports the game sitting at a Very Positive rating on Steam on day one and appearing on the Popular New Releases chart.
• Confirms that several launch-day fixes had already been pushed and asks players to update; the most recent build named in the post is 1.0.3, with 1.0.4 described as landing soon.

• Not a game patch: the launch-day post opening the official Twisted Tower Discord server, described as the single best place to report bugs and where the developer stays in touch with players.

The first official post, published by 3D Realms: it announced a publishing cooperation with Thomas Brush of Atmos Games for Twisted Tower, described as a tower where every twisting floor has a variety of paths to choose, horrifying enemies, and clues about your dark past.

Thomas Brush announced the free demo (Steam app 2506090), wrote that he had been working on the game for three years with a crew of 3D artists and his publisher 3D Realms, and named his inspirations: BioShock, Disney World, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. He also said the project started as a completely different concept and that nearly every asset was disposed of two or three times over before the game found its shape.

A short post from Thomas Brush inviting players to watch him play his own game, signed with the line that he is the creator of Twisted Tower.

The same developer-play invitation, reposted ahead of launch with the same wording.

The launch date post. Brush confirmed the August 18, 2026 release, described five years of development, and introduced the game as a haunting action adventure set inside a forgotten 1950s amusement resort, with toy-inspired weapons you upgrade as you climb toward the summit.

The final-stretch post reported 125.4K wishlists on Steam, revealed the Black & White “Noir” Mode as a brand-new addition, and said the score had been completely reworked since the demo.

The launch post: the game is available on PC with a 10% launch discount on Steam, and the store description names the corrupted fairy-tale mascots, the arsenal of bizarre weapons, the hotel, waterpark, and clown casino locations, and a world that changes with every playthrough.
