A full menu system is in the works! This will include: Shop, Inventory, Codes, Reports & Settings.

+NEW CONTROLLER SUPPORT / DEVICE DETECTION
I didn’t realize how many console players there were until checking the stats (my bad)

  • I added some console support for the following: Readying up, submitting hints, submitting guesses. I will work to add more soon.
  • The device detection will dynamically update based on your input (Keyboard/mouse, controller)
    • There are also keybinds for certain features now
      • [Ready/unready] Keyboard (R) | Controller (Left Button)
      • [Submit hint/guess] Keyboard (Enter) | Controller (Bottom Button)

+NEW PLAYER TITLES

  • Currently just a basic title that will get used later on for customization
    • Includes the player’s name, their [input] device, and their ready state

+NEW ‘BECOME NEXT OUTLIER’ PRODUCT

  • After purchasing you will become the next outlier guaranteed! [ unless there is already a queue, then you will get added to that queue ]

+NEW CONTROLLER HINT TIME INCREASE

  • Controller players now have extra time to submit hints since it takes longer to type
    • Currently increased by 5 seconds but could change

+UPDATE: Leaderboards have been increased from top 15 players → top 25 players

1/7/26 UPDATE LOG!

+NEW REPORT MENU

  • You are now able to send reports directly to me
    • This includes reports such as bugs/glitches, cheating, and even just game feedback!
    • I do read all of these reports too!

I’m, also messing around with the game title messages (the ones located at the top) to make room for the new menus. I’m still deciding if it’s even necessary to have them at the top.
