Update 7: Into the Sewers
Hello everyone,
Sweet Surrender's 7th major update is finally released! Many of you already had the chance to get an early look at the new changes with the beta release. We got a lot of feedback from you and are happy with how many participated.
With our "Into the Sewers" update, we have added (as some of you may already have guessed) the sewer district to the game! This new, hidden area covers the tunnels and pits below the mines and slums and will allow for an alternate route up the megacity. Some of the new features found in the sewers include:
The sewers also feature a bunch of new visuals with surface light gleaming through ceiling grates and pools of acid ominously bubbling below you as you make your way through the tunnels.
We hope you enjoy discovering all the new content in the sewers. As mentioned they are a hidden area, so you might need to explore a bit to find them. But as long as you have a look around in the mines and slums, we are sure you will find your way into the sewers
Make sure to also check out our trailer for the update:

We've also implemented some of the most requested features we have gotten from you. These primarily include:
As you may have noticed we also had some community polls on our discord. We want to use these to see what you guys would like to see most in the game in the next updates. Our current plan is to focus more on boss type enemies and an overhaul to melee combat, but we can't say anything specific yet.
As per usual, this update also comes with tons of improvements and bugfixes. These include many issues that were reported by you guys and we are always happy to get your feedback on these.

Heading Into The Sewers
With our "Into the Sewers" update, we have added (as some of you may already have guessed) the sewer district to the game! This new, hidden area covers the tunnels and pits below the mines and slums and will allow for an alternate route up the megacity. Some of the new features found in the sewers include:
- A whole new district with many different rooms and new, interactable elements to discover
- Tons of acid-themed mechanics; Burn away your enemies healthbars, while avoiding the corrosive environmental hazards
- New enemy types, found exclusively in this new district
- New upgrade chips and grenades to interact with the new acid mechanics
The sewers also feature a bunch of new visuals with surface light gleaming through ceiling grates and pools of acid ominously bubbling below you as you make your way through the tunnels.
We hope you enjoy discovering all the new content in the sewers. As mentioned they are a hidden area, so you might need to explore a bit to find them. But as long as you have a look around in the mines and slums, we are sure you will find your way into the sewers
