• Fixed a bug that caused the tutorial for typing with controller to pop-up at the start of the level, instead of at the computer.
  
• The timer will now always be visible, instead of only being visible when you play a chamber for the second time.
  
• The option for always showing the timer has been removed
  
• In chambers with a computer you no longer hear a beep sound at the start of a level.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the achievement Collector I to be immediately unlocked if you started up the game.
  
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't restart in the Intro Chamber.
  
• Fixed a bug that locked you in place when you typed the command Exit on a terminal
  
• Fixed a bug that wouldn't let you enter new commands after you had executed the command Help in the Intro Chamber.
  
• The timer in Chamber 24 can no longer go below 0 (negative)
  
• Typing the wrong test subject code in the terminal in Chamber 24 no longer softlocks you.
  

• Added a new difficulty: Hardcore. Hardcore uses the same difficulty settings as Insane, with the difference that your health doesn't rewind anymore and you only have 1 bullet.
  Hardcore is excluded from the automatic difficulty setting, which means the game doesn't automatically go to Hardcore when you are doing really well on Insane for example.
  
• The Extra ammo button will now be disabled when you select Hardcore.
  
• The Refill ammo feature in Endless will no longer work when you select Hardcore.
  
• Changed the way the timer adds randomness when rewinding. Before, it would always add a time when rewinding. Now you can rewind for 10 seconds without the timer adding anything. After those 10 seconds, the timer slowly starts adding extra time. The longer you rewind the more it adds.
  
• To show when the timer starts adding extra time when rewinding, the timer will now start to glitch when you rewind longer than 10 seconds. After that the glitching effect gets stronger the longer you rewind.
  
• Added a new command to the terminal/computer: exit. Executing this commands makes you exit the terminal/computer.
  
• Camera smoothing is now off by default.
  
• The flying robot in Chamber End now deals less damage.
  
• Added some more laser enemies throughout chambers 27 to 35
  
• When you complete an Endless run, you can now also choose to play again with a new random seed.
  
• If publishing to the workshop fails, you will now see an error message stating what failed.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused some enemies to be extremely inaccurate with their first shot.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the lasers from Laser Enemies to stop mid-air.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused Endless mode to show up in the level select list
  
• Time is now also slowed down in in the room of Log #8.
  
• Fixed some collision issues with the stairs in Chamber 35
  
• Fixed some small UI bugs when playing with an UI scale of 1.5
  
• Fixed a bug that would sometimes let you rewind to the origin of the level.
  

• When rewinding, the timer now has a bit of randomness to it. On average you lose about 500ms when rewinding 10s.
  
• Added a new voiceline to Chamber 2 explaining the above change about the timer.
  
• Added a help command to the terminal/computer.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the stamina bar to disappear even if you didn't have full stamina.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the moving chamber parts in Chamber 24 to stack up when you rewind.
  
• The game now checks in the menu whether or not the in-game statistics match with those from Steam. If not then it tries to update the ones from Steam.
  
• Changed the maximum amount that statistics in Steam can update at once to prevent bugs with achievements that rely on statistics (e.g. Swimming Champion).
