Hello all,
Flashing Lights' October 2019 update is here, and it's a spooky one!
A night time mode has now been introduced, accessible via the in-game settings when setting up a game! Additionally, some spooky surprises have been added to celebrate Halloween - try running with a patient on a stretcher and letting go... or perhaps try approaching an NPC with a chainsaw and see what happens...
All new features in this update are here to stay for good, so there's no need to worry about them being removed after Halloween.
For now, you can select night mode as an option in the settings, but we do plan to eventually introduce a dynamic day/night cycle.
Steam Halloween Sale
Flashing Lights is now discounted for a limited time in the Steam Halloween Sale!
