Muffles’ Life Sentence Final Episode Now Available on Steam

Take a Mental Trip Towards Muffles’ Conclusion

Kraków, Poland (February 26, 2026) – After a four month wait, Black Lantern Collective and BossyPino are happy to announce that the fifth and final episode of Muffles’ Life Sentence is out today! – You didn’t hear about this before. Our lips were sealed. (Kinda.)

You can pick up Episode 5 right now on Steam for $3.99 USD, and if you have yet to meet Muffles, Dee, and the full cast of degenerate criminals, Episode 1 is entirely free to make their acquaintances.

On top of bringing Muffles' story to a close, Episode 5 introduces New Game+, a secret ending you'll have to work for, and a host of fixes and improvements across every episode. There's never been a better time to serve your life sentence. Be sure to check out the new trailer to get a taste of what to expect.

Presented in stunning 3-color glory, Muffles’ Life Sentence brings you into the foul depths of the Maddox Prison System where criminals are surgically altered in accordance with their crimes. Muffles has had their mouth sewn shut and their memory wiped, arriving as unrest spreads among the inmates. A mysterious broadcast and an exuberant cellmate named Dee soon have you looking for answers and a way out.

Deckbuilding RPG mechanics have you learning new skills from the memories of your defeated foes, with a limited pool of resources that favors strategy over grinding. Meanwhile, you can gain new exploration abilities by carving off people’s faces and wearing them. Put the kids to bed.

  • Unlockable faces to swap identities and gain new abilities

  • A colorful cast of absurd criminal monsters
  • Statuses that include: Panic Attack, Looking for Shiv, and Poison
  • Visuals boasting 3 whole colors
