Today we want to celebrate the Chinese New Year with you, which, by the way, is the year of the Rat. As you might know, rats have high intuition and easily adapt to the new environment. Qualities that are clearly useful to any player under the Dome.

To commemorate this great event, we cut 20% off prices on Encased and all additional materials!

It's a perfect time to dive into the world of alternative 70's, if you've been postponing your purchase until the discount.

The first month of 2020 is in full swing and everyone is hard at work. Today we have a whole truck of fixes ready for you. In the public testing branch you can find an updated version of the game 0.16.1227.1723. The list of fixes couldn’t even fit into this post! We fixed a lot of small and large bugs, some optimization problems, localization bugs, etc.

Very soon we will send this update to the main game branch for all players. But before that, we'll test the hotfix for a couple more days.

We remind you that instructions on how to switch to the public test branch can be found here:

Today is December 31. Tomorrow the new year will begin, which means it's time to sum up the previous one.

2019 was full of events not only for us, but for the whole Encased community. This year we showed players the first alpha, went from one floor of Magellan to a new prologue and dozens of random encounters. Players were finally able to get to know the world of the game after the Incident, hire companions and use psi abilities. We received a lot of feedback, bug reports and, of course, warm words of support from our players.

A lot has happened this year: early access, release of the first content patch and victory in the Best Desktop Game category at DevGamm Minsk.

It was a good year, but it's over and we're moving on. In the new 2020 you'll see massive content-patches, improvements in gameplay and graphics, and, of course, the full Encased release.

Thank you for being with us. Happy New Year!

Dark Crystal Games wishes you Happy holidays! New Year is right behind the corner and we are still working on hotfixes. The next major hotfix is almost ready, but we want to take a couple more days to test it inside the studio. However, if you are already anxious to receive the changes, they are available on our public test branch.

[h3]To download the patch from the test branch, you need to do the following:[/h3]

• Switch to the Betas tab and select public-test in the dropdown.
  
• Click Close
  
• The game should start updating now, but if this does not happen - restart Steam
  

Of course, the release version of the hotfix will differ from the test one in a number of changes, but saves from the test branch will remain compatible. (However, to be safe, make a copy of them upfront).
