A month ago, on August 14th, Glitchy Frame Studio released its first game, Targeted -10 Days, which received overwhelmingly positive feedback from players, content creators, and critics alike. We gathered a lot of useful and interesting insights that helped us create our first major update called “Intrusion”.
As the title of the update suggests, Don’s men sneak in disguised as employees of the garage facility, pretending to be employees. Whether you appear as a mechanic, maintenance worker, or janitor, the goal is the same. That means planting a bomb in the garage while doing alibi work.
So if a player happens to find a broom hidden behind a pipe or notices a strange change in a poster, it’s a sign that someone has been there. This is someone who clearly intends to cause harm.
The Infiltration update introduces over 25 new traps, adding new challenges for even veteran players. Based on your feedback we target It’s a little more difficult. Most traps require keen observation skills from the player.
This free update was released on Steam on September 14th.
Ready for ideal mode
In many parts of the world, autumn is the time when the worlds of the living and the dead are closest. In the world of Targeted, this is especially evident when Don summons supernatural forces to stop us. As a result, our second free update finally brings the long-awaited Anomaly Mode.
Anomaly mode offers a slightly easier version of the game, with fewer difficult puzzles but more spooky and humorous surprises.
This mode is still in development and will eventually feature 25 levels and at least 40 anomalies. The final anomaly count is still being determined.
We plan to release Anomaly Mode for free to all players in mid-October.
Thank you for joining us over the past month. More updates coming soon. Until then, I wish everyone successful survival.

Here’s an announcement for players coming to Steam:
Intruder update has arrived
Dear City Heroes,
It’s been a month since Targeted -10 Days launched, and it’s been an exciting and exciting time for us.
We eagerly look forward to your feedback and are truly grateful for the overwhelmingly positive response. Reviews, feedback, and streams give us confidence that we’ve created a fun and engaging game. It’s a joy and honor for us that so many people have devoted so much time to such a small game.
It’s been fun to watch and read about some of you competing for better times, and it’s been great to see people streaming their trials and tribulations.
Over the past month, we’ve been trying to keep an eye on every streamer and video creator to understand how you play the game. Some players struggled on their first attempt, while others honed their skills to perfection without making any mistakes. It was amazing to see players do better at the game on their first playthrough than we, the developers who designed the traps. ̅_(ツ)_/̅
T-99 mode was added as a sort of final boss. We thought we would hardly even attempt to defeat this enemy. But I figured if anyone was going to try it, the save system would allow them to do the challenge over several days.
Happily, several players have managed to overcome this obstacle, beat the game, achieve the rarest achievements, and even unlock the secret ending.
The current list of T-99 heroes is: Animetool, CeruzásFeri, I_Ritus_I, Panyi, Starlis and TrickyM. The citizens of your city will never forget your name.
Now let’s take a look at the first major update: the highlights.
Intruder Update
The Infiltrator update was released today, adding over 25 new traps. Don’s men are still trying to infiltrate, and their goal is to sneak into the garage by posing as workers. They appear to be doing the work their employees do, but in reality they are planting a bomb somewhere in the garage.
You should look for clues that suggest a janitor, mechanic, or other worker was there. For example, if you find a broom hidden behind a pipe, it wasn’t left by the janitor, it was left by one of Don’s men.
This update offers more challenging challenges that require more concentration than before. The old puzzles remain, but this refresh provides greater challenge for experienced players who haven’t yet trained their eyes on these new types of clues.
Ready for the next update: Anomaly Mode
In many parts of the world, fall is the time when the worlds of the living and the dead come closest to each other. In the world of Targeted, this is especially true when Don calls on supernatural forces to stop us. Thanks to you, our second free update finally brings the long-planned Anomaly Mode.
Anomaly mode is a lighter version of the game, with fewer difficult puzzles but more spooky or humorous elements.
In Anomaly mode, you can even meet the main character, Don K., in person!
We hope you enjoy this mode as much as we do, and we think the game is worth revisiting even for those who have already played Targeted to its full potential.
This mode is in active development, with 25 levels and at least 40 (probably more) planned. If all goes well, Anomaly mode will be available in mid-October.
Thank you for joining us over the past month. We’ll be back soon with more updates. Until then, good luck.
Target information:
Targeted is a new take on anomaly detection games (e.g. I’m on Observation Duty) and endless loop games (The Exit 8, Shinkansen 8).
In Targeted, you play as a former mafia member who testifies against the Don, who is doing his best to get rid of you. To survive, you’ll need to find clues to the vandalism in the underground garage where the car is stored and uncover if someone was there before you.
Gameplay is simple. If you notice anything strange, you must run to the elevator and escape. But if everything looks good, you can drive to your one-day court hearing alive.
Be on your toes and one wrong move and the gangsters will catch you and make you start all over again.
In Targeted you are a target for assassination, so be on your guard!
