Greetings Brethren!

We are back after another week, which we spent trying to understand the strange dreams that haunt our minds and decipher the true meaning of the Nostradamus prophecies. Some of these signs are still veiled in the fog of uncertainty, but those that we managed to decode have been forged into yet another update for Secret Government, this time bearing the number 0.9.18.86.

In this update, we have implemented countless smaller and bigger bugfixes, as well as numerous improvements to basically all aspects of the game, spanning from improved illustrations all the way to the fine tuning of the occult rituals running in the background. You can read the full changelog below!

As always, here is a huge THANK YOU to all members of our brotherhood who help us improve the game, by posting feedback and bug reports into our Steam forums - Thank you!❤️

We did our best to have the build as ready as possible on time and with as few issues as possible, but some things still need more polishing, so we ask for your understanding. And as usual we would appreciate your valuable help by reporting the issues you find in the game through our Steam Discussion forum
