Greetings once again, Volunteers!

Thank you so much for your feedback - it greatly helped us to pinpoint some of the issues, which we fixed in this patch. Namely:

• After dying in certain locations players could be transported to the Safe Zone - fixed (If you are stuck in a safezone, you can use unstuck command in the menu).
  
  
• Certain daily quests from the Scientist in the “Severnaya” Safe Zone did not work correctly - fixed (incorrectly working quests have been removed from your Journal, so that they wouldn’t clutter it).
  
  
• Client players had issues while interacting with the Bonfire and the Workbench during online play - fixed.
  
  
• Terrain fixes (North Safe Zone bridge, along with caverns nearby).
  
  
• The Nullifier’s cost was incorrect - fixed.

Alongside DESOLATE’s full PC release, the final chapter in the game’s story mode, Act 3, will become available. Experience the conclusion to the story of The New Light - discover the reason behind their mission on Granichny, and witness the conclusion of the Volunteer’s story.

As DESOLATE will leave the Early Access stage it will get an updated global price of $25. So if you were considering getting the game, an upcoming Winter Steam Sale will be the best chance to get it with the lowest price.

Its haunting atmosphere and chilling visuals will give newcomers a taste of what to expect during their time on Granichny. Check out the Teaser to get an early look.

After launching on Steam Early Access back in February of 2018, we have been hard at work, adding new content and features, as well as fixing balance and performance issues.
