Working terminals

Hello, everyone!

The volunteers might bump into still operational terminals and sometimes they will need to actually use them to dig into the file system and be able to proceed with their tasks.

There are still recoverable files such as logs and cctv cameras snapshots.

You'll need to learn some syntax, but executing the "help" command will give you some useful tips.

Devices, upgrades and meta progression

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share some updates regarding the meta progression in the game.

These days i'm developing new Devices, the ones you can buy from the main menu and in between levels. A purchased device is permanent: you need to reach the target level to unlock it and then you need credits to buy it: after that, you keep it forever (even if your volunteer die).

On the other hand, Upgrades, the ones you buy from Upgrades Stations, are different. You level up your volunteer, but when he/she dies, you lose the upgrades.

And that was it, until today: i decided to give to the next volunteer the possibility to recover SOME upgrades from the previous volunteer dead body, and maybe some inventory items as well (rather than just credits).

I'd like to keep it the survival way so, for example, if you die with a full inventory and 4 upgrades (i.e. health+, armor+, stamina+ and rate of fire+), if you're lucky, you're gonna recover a weapon, maybe some bullets, and armor+ (and credits, as always).

I'm probably gonna scale the amount of stuff you recover with the difficulty you are playing.

What do you think about this?

Cheers!

The Shock Rifle

SHK-9000 experimental rifle, produced by the facility's R&D labs. Using the energy supplied by the energy cells, it is capable of generating a high voltage electric current discharge. The electricity can also damage up to 3 subjects in the vicinity of the area of action, albeit decreasing the effectiveness of the discharge due to the absorption of the bodies involved.

Do not touch these things.

Having restored power to the facility, some of the machinery suddenly started working again. Even the unwanted ones.

A useful tool

The facility has been abandoned for decades.
While some parts of it are still functional (or require a relatively simple restart of specific generators), some areas are left out with no electricity.

That's where the flashlight drone comes in handy.
