Zombie Cure Lab News

As you may have noticed, there is now a beta branch for Zombie Cure Lab!

Before an update goes online on the "main branch", it will be tested on this branch. You are welcome to play on the beta branch and test new content before the official release. We are looking forward to your feedback!

If you don't know how to switch branches in Steam at all, do the following:

• Right click on the game in your library, and click Properties.
  
• Select the Betas tab, and select the branch you want to switch to. Then click OK.
  

The best news: The first beta update is already available!
Please feel free to test it out and let us know if it works.

A little info about the Citizen Science project "Docking Hero" in Zombie Cure Lab:

Participation in the project is completely optional and voluntary. It is not necessary to participate in order to make progress in the game. All players will receive free content such as decoration items with regular updates, regardless of whether you activate Docking Hero or not. By reaching global goals, however, you can unlock the new content faster.

We are happy about everyone who supports rare cancer research by using Docking Hero. However, this is not obligatory.

If you have any further questions, just ask us in the comments :)
