We're listening. - Update Teaser

Dear Steam Community,


We are excited about the recent attention Surrounded has received, and we want to assure you that we are carefully reviewing all the reviews, both positive and negative, to identify areas for improvement. While we've received an overwhelming number of negative reviews lately, we understand that dissatisfied customers are more likely to leave negative feedback.

Moving forward, we are excited to unveil a teaser for our biggest update ever, which we hope will address many of the issues that new players have had with the game. To our dedicated fans, we believe you'll also love this update just as much.

In this update, we are introducing a new game mode called "Hunted," designed to enhance replayability, along with a competitive level system, collectibles, optimization, mechanic refinement, and much more. We ask for your patience as we actively work on these improvements and encourage everyone to give our game another try when it's released. We appreciate all of your constructive criticism.

We have taken note of the most frequent issues that players have been experiencing, including:
  • Optimization and frame drops
  • Confusion regarding AI behavior
  • A perceived lack of content in the world
  • Buggy mechanics
Rest assured, we are actively addressing these issues, along with many others.

We are grateful to everyone who takes the time to leave reviews, whether they are positive or negative, as your feedback greatly assists us in making Surrounded a better game. Thank you!

Cheers, Nightmare Studios
