CRUEL Patch Notes — January 28, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
List of changes
Fixes/Tweaks
- Mouse sensitivity slider now shows value and has been tweaked to allow lower setting.
- Perk selection on endless increased from 3 to 5.
- No guns mode no longer gives you a set of perks at the start, Perk screen has been put back in (perks that are gun related get removed).
- Explosions could hurt the player through walls fix.
- Crow spawn attack timeout reduced from 1.3 seconds to 1 second.
- Vending machine placement was a little wonky occasionally on various layouts it wouldn't place the correct amount.
- Pro players on endless keep going so I've adjusted it so later floors give you less soda.
- Fixed auto aim on Nun it used to go to the side.
- "Mouse relative" option added this is what the old build used for mouse sensitivity.
- When a trap kills an enemy the collider doesn't remove correctly.
- Duplicate names now get culled from the death diary.
- Dear diary achievement was slightly bugged needing 7 entries instead of 5 (for the first page).
- Optimized build size initial load should be faster.
- fixed Oofrian name credit.
- Erik perk removal fixes burnt cards now get removed properly.
- When Cheater perk is removed only show two cards.
- Shader on photograph pegs broke causing them to be darker than intended.
- Typo in tips and death diary.
- Mouse movement and controller look sensitivity is now independent (for those wishing to play with a controller and mouse).
- Melee mode you can now use weapons with both the melee and shoot key
- I've seen some complaints about stuttering again so I'm forcing the GPU particles to compile with the old loading screen method (however there's some more optimisation needed.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
