Hello! Very excited to announce a big update which brings the most frequently requested feature to the game, Combat! You'll now have the option of defending yourself by using a gun as you journey through the zone. The idea is to offer more choices to the player on how to deal with threats they encounter. Will you attempt to hide and outrun your pursuers? or stand your ground and try to take them down before they can reach you and tear you to pieces? If you choose the latter, be aware that ammo is limited and bringing a gun into the zone might have dangerous consequences...

There are also some more cool changes and a couple of bug fixes in the update, you can check out the full details below! And once again a huge thanks to those who have played the game and those who have given feedback, it means a…

Another update which adds more graphical settings, bug fixes, balancing changes, quality of life changes, performance increase and some improvements to immersion. Some news about when the game will be released. Although there has never been a set release date the goal was to release the game in 2022. Unfortunately this isn't going to work out, the main reason being the time it takes to polish and also test the full game. Instead of forcing a release now with a game that isn't fully ready, it will instead be released next year in 2023 in order to give you the best experience possible when playing it. Further information about the release date will come at a later time. Hope you understand and that we still have your support going forward. Gameplay changes Added pixelation filter.
