Black Mesa x Moros Protocol Bundle and Update

[h3]WAKE UP, MR. ALEX.[/h3][p][/p][p]Darkphage activity aboard the vessel has increased exponentially, and standard containment measures are proving… insufficient. Effective immediately, the following has been authorized for deployment: THE CROWBAR.[/p][p]Originally recovered during an unplanned containment breach at the Black Mesa Research Facility, this device has demonstrated remarkable utility in neutralising small structural hazards, forced entry scenarios and, incidentally, hostile organisms. Remember: the crowbar is your friend… unless it’s not. Then it’s still a crowbar.

Your mission: survive the infestation, secure the ship and try not to break anything critical…[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
To celebrate the launch of this new tool, we are offering our lowest base game discount yet at 30% off, as part of Steam’s Winter Sale. We have also coordinated with the Black Mesa research facility staff to offer a bundle with an extra 10% off both games. This bundle will run for a limited time, so do purchase while you can. Play responsibly.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
We’re also receiving reports of 3 new life forms aboard the Orpheus…[/p][p]In Area 1, the Arachne. This zombie-like spider creature would give a headcrab a run for its money. Proceed with caution. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]In Area 2, come face-to-face with the Decaying Nychosaur. In the words of the Black Mesa facility’s Security Bulletin #04-1997, investigate responsibly. Or destroy them. Your call.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And finally, in Area 3, the Sister of Carnage. This is one sibling you do not wish to pick a fight with. Remember: the Orpheus protects you from everything… except your own mistakes. Each miniboss requires a unique door unlocking method to access the room, so proceed slowly…[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]

WARNING - Please start a fresh run after updating[/p][p]There's a known issue where continuing a run causes equipped augments to disappear/change, and slots to glitch out. To avoid this, please start a fresh run. Alternatively, you can choose to use the “Revert” branch in Steam betas to continue and finish your current run. You will need to switch back to the default build after this run is completed. [/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
