First Major Update

Hello there!

Thanks so much for all the feedback! It helped us prioritize the biggest issues in the game. In an effort to balance out some of the survival gameplay and player movement we've made several improvements and fixes. Some of the highlights are:

  • The player movement is smoother and allows the player to step over and mantle objects in any direction. There have been improvements to jumping, crouching, and prone as well.
  • There is a Smart Heal feature that allows the player to automatically consume items from their inventory to help improve certain attributes incrementally. For example, a drink of water for stamina, a bite of food for health, a dose of medication for radiation, etc.
  • The player is now affected by Radiation and Oxygen in the surface and underground levels, particularly when not in a room or enclosure. Wearing a suit and helmet helps to minimize the damage.
  • The medication Zenilex has been updated to reduce Radiation exposure. CZ Pentacid works as usual and is the best way to reduce RAD levels.
  • There are now green oxygen canisters throughout the game the player can use to improve Oxygen levels. Each one has 3 uses.
  • In the Health menu, we now show the Current Environmental Conditions for Radiation and Oxygen. Make sure you're prepared!
  • We've removed the player's Nutrition, Temperature, and Sanity attributes as they really had no impact on the current gameplay. Food and water affects health and stamina.
  • A much improved LUCIE and HEVN Facility.
  • And much more! See https://steamcommunity.com/app/588800/discussions/0/1735465524720023653/#c1736594593598945361 for more details.


Also wanted to mention we're still making improvements in all aspects of the game. But we appreciate you playing the game and all your feedback on the discussion forums! It's been a tremendous help for us as we continue to improve the game!

All the best,

Mat & Larry
