Results on September 11th 2026.Thank you all that liked the game and left a review or talked about it for this nomination to be possible. The results of…

- "Better Stamina" Update 1.1.0 - 9 September 2025
This is the biggest patch yet, I hope it adresses the last issues some players found with the game!STAMINA CHANGES :There is now a color indication when the stamina is about to be depleted, and if you succeed in saving your stamina, there is a green colored indication that you succeeded. This will hopefully communicate the stamina system better.If you stops just before it depletes, you have a really small bonus of resplenishment (the bar is light green)Stamina values tweaked. It is regained way faster if not fully depleted, but also it punishes you slightly longer if you deplete it. The delay before gaining stamina back if you don't deplete it fully is now reduced by about 55%."Stamina depleted" sound is now 40% lower (I think nobody likes that sound)Stamina in AUTO-CRISIS was a source of frustration or not fun for some players. Initially I didn't want to include such a system in the ga…

I've set aside continuing the game for a few days and worked on it : I'm releasing a new version now that will drastically improve the experience. Demo Update v0.1.0 General The demo, covering the first act, have been changed drastically. The overall effect is that the demo is considerably shorter and make the experience tighter.
