[h3]GTFO is The Best Game You Suck(ed) At[/h3]
We were browsing through the different categories for The Steam Awards, and we found (among others) two very fitting for GTFO: Better With Friends, and The Best Game You Suck At.

Then we looked at the descriptions of each of them:
"Better With Friends" - There are some games out there that just aren't the same when you play by yourself. Maybe you need to have a friend to watch your back. Maybe you need to have a friend that you can stab in their back. Either way, mirth is awaiting those who gather friends to play these games.

"Best Game You Suck At" - This is the game that rewards persistence, and is not for the faint of heart. It's the toughest game we've ever loved.

Okay, we all know that GTFO is indeed Better With Friends - we’d even say it’s impossible without friends (well, if your name isn’t RandomKenny) - and with the recently added match-making function, you can hopefully make new friends, too.

But the description for Best Game You Suck At seems like it was written for GTFO, right? If you don’t agree with us, you’re free to choose any category you deem fit. We will love you anyway. Thanks for your support!
[h3]We’re 20% off, tell your friends![/h3]
GTFO will be a part of The Steam Autumn Sale, starting about… now. So, if you know any friends that can handle The Complex, let them know. Tip: GTFO is the perfect (early) Christmas gift, during these quarantine times.

[h3]GTFO turns 1 year old on December 9th[/h3]
Our Early Access baby is growing. Four Rundowns later, and she’s already 1 year old. To celebrate, we’re cooking some stuff for our beloved community.

Stay tuned, keep distance, and clean your hands regularly.

Read more and see the trailer below. As usual, you can find the change list at the bottom!

[h3]What does the new Rundown 004 / Contact include?[/h3]

• We're adding MATCHMAKING (ALPHA)! This is something many have been asking for, so we're very excited to now add this feature. We're starting off with it in alpha, and will need our community's help to refine it as we go. Try it out, and let us know what you think!
  
• A new layered difficulty system - this will give our seasoned players a hardcore challenge right from the first expedition, while at the same time make it a bit easer for new players to come on board! By choosing different routes throughout some of the levels, you will either have it "very hard", or "extremely hard". Hey, it's still GTFO!
  
• A new environment: "Datacenter"
  
• More story. Won't spoil anything of that, though. Hint: it has to do with the name of the Rundown, "Contact"...
  
• And as usual, new weapons, tools, and more!
  

We hope you enjoy this new Rundown! Stay safe and wash your hands.
