Hello survivors, after over a year since the last patch, we've decided to update the demo showcasing the new and improved Humanitz.

This also helps give us some extra feedback on all the new things we've added and improved over the last 12 months, while we wait to announce the release date of the full game.

As with any early access title, there will be some bugs and crashes, currently, we have a random fatal error that the team is working on so please make sure to read the patch notes below and save your game as often as possible.

Players are invited to join our discord to keep up to date with all things Humanitz and bugs can be logged directly in the demo bugs channel.

Thank you all for your awesome support
Yoz
