Early Access - BUILD 0.27.00

Version 0.27.0 has begun! As a small peak behind the curtain, this update was originally planned to be a small hotfix. But after a successful slew of bug fixes in combination with several fancy new map features, we’ve upgraded this humble patch into a full sized update.

The houses in Section 2 now fully show the destructive power of the Sanguivore, featuring new damage to the walls that players might use to their advantage, offering new sneaky routes in and out between the buildings. The outdoor areas of the level have been given some TLC, with new environmental features and assets.

Keeping an eye out for fuses has always been essential for managing the power circuits. This update introduces some new mechanics for scavenging those fuses. Fuses can now be pulled out of electronic machines around the world.

Take a look at all the new features, as well as quality of life improvements, rebalancing, fixes and more in the patch notes below!
