- Need to Know Refresh Update (v1.25.0) - Release Notes - 26 November 2018
Hi everyone! We’ve just released the Refresh Update for Need to Know, featuring a streamlined start to the game, dozens of usability updates, and all of the changes and fixes we’ve made since release. For this update, we’ve focused mainly on structural amendments, particularly in Clearance Level 10. Some story elements have been repositioned, including the opening prologue and some early scenes. Our goals are to get you into gameplay quickly, space out the early story development, and allow you to advance to a higher difficulty level earlier. However, no missions have been removed, simply relocated to different points in the story, or made optional. Home missions now have a lock-out deadline, so you’ll face a (forgiving) time pressure to make the experience a little more intense. We have also made several usability improvements, such as making it easier to skip the PeepR tutorials. We’v…
