1.07 CONTENT UPDATE

We recently launched the 1.07 Content Update, which adds the Machines, a late-game action-puzzle element from the last chapter of HUMANITY’s STORY MODE, to its robust Stage Creator. Turrets, Drones, Lasers and more can now be integrated into a user’s stage designs and uploaded/shared for the community to play.

Our dedicated community has created over 5,500 stages, playable in the USER STAGES mode. Even those who are not ready to make their own levels can benefit from this always-growing library of levels which use HUMANITY’s mechanics in unique and interesting ways. From standard puzzles, ornate artwork, and sprawling battle maps to near-impossible kaizo challenges, there’s always something new to play.

Our community's support and enthusiasm for our Shiba Inu game has been instrumental in our achievement. The content in USER STAGES showcases the incredible creativity that can be achieved with HUMANITY's Stage Creator tools. If you've finished Story Mode, be sure to check out USER STAGES to play even more levels.

We're grateful to the players who have let us know they've platinumed the game and are also excited to see so many players enjoying creating and playing USER STAGES. We can’t wait to see all the stages the community come up with next! Join us for our regularly scheduled streams where we highlight new stages and play them live at https://twitch.tv/EnhanceExperience.

Now's your chance to become a Shiba Inu and try your hand (paw?) at leading humanity to salvation before doing it for real. The HUMANITY Demo is now available on Steam, featuring a sample of 10 stages from the STORY MODE. Play it on your PC, Steam Deck, or optionally—in VR!



Place commands to make the humans turn, jump, climb, float to goals in this unique blend of action and puzzle game. If you lose a few off the edge, fear not—the humans are turned into light and walk through the door again.



You can also hop into USER STAGES and play three examples of what you'll see in the real deal. This demo is offline only and does not update with new stages nor allow you to browse the full library. But with over 5,000 user-created stages and counting in the full version, trust us: there's a TON of great content to indulge in!



If you want to see what making your own stages is all about, in this demo you can do that in the STAGE CREATOR. You won't have access to the full suite of options, but you can get an idea of the kind of puzzles, art, kaizo stages, and obstacle courses you can design and share with the community.



Notes for the demo:

• The full version features a "Retry Keep Commands" option to retry any level without redoing your command placements. This isn't present in the demo version's STORY MODE stages—sorry!
  
• In the demo, the fast-forward function (SHIFT or R2) doesn't speed up the humans correctly. This is fixed in the full game.
  

Save money on HUMANITY and save humanity this weekend. From August 3-7, HUMANITY is 20% off for the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase. And, just in case you need a little extra push to give our Shiba-Inu-directs-humans-to-goals-and-beyond action puzzle game, there's a free demo available on Steam right now.

We're doing a special Cerebral Puzzle Showcase stream Friday at 9 am Pacific / Noon Eastern. Please tune in for a walkthrough of the game and its features! We'll be live on our Steam page, twitch.tv/EnhanceExperience, or youtube.com/EnhanceExperience!
