[h2]New Trial: Liquidate the Union[/h2]
Human labor is the backbone of liberty and profit. We cannot allow the vanity of self-preservation to threaten production. Cross the picket line, persuade labor to resume production, and liquify the union.
[h2]New MK-Challenge: Spread the Disease[/h2]
Sexually transmitted disease is the secret handshake of evolutionary judgement and divine retribution. Spread the infection, and we will let you out.
[h2]New MK-Challenge: Cook the Informant[/h2]
Nobody can resist interrogation by torture, and any manner of death is a mercy. Microwave the informant, burst his head, and we will let you out.
[h2]New Deluxe Catalog: Project Relapse[/h2]
The new Deluxe Catalog “
Project Relapse” is now available.
- The catalog is filled with 10 pages of new exclusive cosmetic items.
- Unlock the Deluxe Catalog using Murkoff Coins, earned by completing the Onboarding Catalog and other Deluxe Catalogs.
- Acquire Stamps by completing Trials and Tasks, then use the Stamps to acquire Deluxe Catalog items.
- As a reminder, the Deluxe Catalogs are available permanently. Unlock items at your own pace.
[h2]New Enemy: The Jaeger[/h2]
The Jaeger initiative introduces a valuable new member to our Experimental Population, an exemplar of resilience, dedication, and obedience. Equipped with the latest in radio broadcasting technology, Murkoff guides the Jaeger remotely with simple instructions—Find and kill the assigned Reagent, wherever they run, wherever they hide. A lethal homing device on two legs, the Jaeger doesn’t stop until her target is brutally murdered. Don’t give up, and Murkoff won’t give up on you.
- A new enemy type can now visit the Trials: The Jaeger
- When the Jaeger appears in a Trial, she will target one Reagent and chase it until death.

Benefits of performing the Relapse initiative:
- THERAPY RESET: Your therapy level will be reset and all upgrades will be relocked.
- RELAPSE NUMBER: Your relapse number increases after each relapse.
- PERMANENT UNLOCK: Unlock one upgrade of your choice to keep permanently. It won't be locked at future relapses.
- KEEP YOUR COSMETICS: All your character and cell cosmetics are kept.
- KEEP YOUR STATS: Your stats carry over across relapses.
- RELAPSE PLAQUE: A honorific plaque is installed in your cell room with the amount of relapses completed.
