• 📋 Directive No. 4/b - 13 November 2025

  Comrades, today an important update comes into effect. In order to improve the efficiency of surveillance and control, the camera view in Deserter has been changed to an isometric perspective. From now on, every citizen is required to observe the world from above — just like in Gone Rogue. With this update, we aim to restore the atmosphere of classic stealth games, and improve both comfortable controls and spatial awareness on locations. ⚠️ Attention: After installing the update and launching the game, old save files will be deleted. If you wish to finish your playthrough on the previous version, go to your Steam Library → Game Properties → Betas → select oldprologue. Main changes:The isometric camera view has returned. The interface and controls have been reworked. Lighting and visual effects improved. By default, John now moves at a light jog; holding Shift briefly boosts his speed. T…

• 📢 Citizens, attention! Our engineers have prepared Patch #3 - 4 October 2025

  📢 Attention, citizens!By decree of the Party, the Prologue advances ever further. Discipline is tightened, enemies grow sharper, and John Holden’s path becomes more perilous. Here is what has been refined for your continued loyalty and vigilance: AI ChangesNPC behavior during alerts improved: they now pursue and search for John longer and more actively. Both chasing and searching now happen at running speed. Fixed a bug where NPCs sometimes failed to call allied NPCs for help. NPCs whose rank is higher than John’s by +1/+2 levels now spot him +50%/+100% faster. This applies to both normal detection and their Sixth Sense (base detection speed has been slightly slowed). NPCs now hear gunshots and the impacts of other NPCs attacks, and will react accordingly. If John gets too close, NPCs can now shove and stun him. Even neutral civilians, like doctors, may push him away. NPCs are now less…

NPCs react faster when they spot the protagonist: they chase or attack more aggressively and coordinate better in groups. NPCs now interact with windows: they can look and shoot through them, and even climb through to continue the chase.Fixed the problem where difficulty levels may not have applied properly - so if you found the game too hard on Easy or vice versa, make sure to give it another go! Inventory UI improvements:You can now sell all useless junk at once when starting a trade. Tool icons now display which objects they can be used to unlock. When inspecting certain consumables, you’ll see which of John’s parameters they a…
