Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #43

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

It is your beloved Kitty Skies here and I am wishing to tell you Happy New Year and hoping you all have a wonderful 2021!

I would like to apologise about the radio silence on our end. We are still alive and working hard on bringing the final version to your soft paws. As gamers ourselves on Steam, we understand that it can be quite daunting when an Early Access game stops posting updates, but I am here to assure you that we are going to see this all the way through – and more!

We do have one final update planned before the full launch, but before that we wanted to implement new systems and iron out a lot of stuff in preparation for it. So, this update pushes a lot of changes and tweaks.

We hope you enjoy this surprise and if you have any feedback to the changes, feel free to let us know in the comments below or in the forums. We are highly responsive to each post!


As always, the full patch notes will be posted below, and we hope to see you lighting up voids very shortly.
