Mid December Update: More Content, Weapon, and Achievement
A build is now live on Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux with new content, a new weapon and improvements to the arcade game mode!
There's now more content around the street level, just after the Arque office building, with a set of new enemies to boot. Use the cheat map TheBase#sp05 to jump there!
There's now a hammer weapon in Estranged: Act II, which is available in certain places in the single player story. The Warehouse arcade level now has a lot more weapons available to the player, allowing you to pick from the Pistol, Rifle, Pickaxe and Hammer to fight the horde.
There's a new achievement, "Barista", which can be obtained by tidying the coffee table in the lecturing room in the Arque offices.
