Version 1.2 New Game Plus!
There is now a New Game Plus option available after completing the game. If you have a save slot with a completed game you will need to play the final scene again to activate the new mode. To start a game in New Game Plus you need to press continue on a completed game's save slot. When selecting New Game Plus all skills, skill points, purchased perks, needs, wants, scrap and crafting materials carry over. You’re going to need all those skills too because enemies in New Game Plus are twice as deadly. Although your skills carry over you will still need to rescue the appropriate survivor to continue adding points to that survivor’s skill tree. I also fixed a few things and added achievements for beating the game in New Game Plus and for beating the game with Permadeath on. Have fun!
Version 1.1 - A few changes and fixes
- CHANGE: Tentacle attack damage from District 1 enemies has been reduced.
- CHANGE: Fire damage has been reduced.
- CHANGE: I’ve added several new tips to the loading screen.
- CHANGE: Clarified several skill descriptions.

Planned Version 1.0 Release Date
Beta 1.2.0 New Crafting System and More!
I’ve wanted to add a crafting system from the very beginning of development and I’ve now completed it. It will change the way you play, but won’t get in the way. In fact the new crafting system will give you more control over how you play. Before you would have to completely rely on luck to find the gadget you needed unless you planned ahead and had the scrap to buy what you wanted from Val. Now you will be consistently looting (there are also new plants you can find around parks) crafting materials and be able to simply and quickly craft the item you need for the circumstance you find yourself in. I think this really supports the “Do it your way” spirit of the game more than relying on luck. At this point I’ve decided to graduate the game to beta status. Thank you for your continued support! Patch notes below!
- NEW: New crafting system. The crafting system can be activated by opening your backpack and pressing the “CRAFT” button. Press the “EQUIP” button to return to your normal backpack interface.
- NEW: New loot to find in the form of crafting materials.
- NEW: You can now sometimes find plants in parks that will supply you with an “Herb” crafting resource.
- NEW: Lester Muggs has a new skill line that increases the amount of crafting materials you can hold.
- NEW: Val will now tell you about crafting at some point.
- NEW: Added a help entry on the mission computer about crafting.
- CHANGE: The Scrambler gadget is now useful. They now seek out nearby enemies in range and electrocute them instead of waiting to be touched.

- CHANGE: The world is now dimmed slightly when your bag is open.
- CHANGE: When picking up a bottle of the ground you now receive a “+1 Bottle” message.
- CHANGE: Winston now tells you about your battery usage after hacking the first car in the tutorial.
- CHANGE: Several small changes to the early tutorial.
- CHANGE: Added a small bar indicating when you are holding the use key when picking up mines, trip mines and the teleport pad.
- FIX: The Boost Kill skill no longer triggers when you are not boosting.
- FIX: Noise and spotted levels return to zero when enemies are electrocuted if you aren’t noticed by any others.
- FIX: Red backpacks now drop rare loot less often. I had them set up to drop rare loot much more often for testing purposes and forgot to set them back to normal.
- FIX: Fixed an issue causing you to pick up mines, time bombs, trip mines and the teleport pad if you were holding down the use key when touching them.
Alpha 1.1.0 Small Quality of Life Update
This is a small quality of life patch. I know I just released a huge patch on Monday, but I wanted to get these improvements in as soon as possible. I’ve gone through and tried to fix all the areas of the game where it is possible to accidentally use items sometimes. If I missed a spot please let me know. I’ve also added a help menu to Winston’s computer with some info about how some aspects of the game work. Lastly I’ve spent some time polishing up Val's shop. Thanks for your continued support! Patch notes below!
- NEW: There is now a help section on the map screen computer. There are 17 entries explaining some aspects of gameplay.
- CHANGE: When hovering over the buy button on an item you can afford in Val’s shop you can see how many of the item you have and how many you can hold.
- CHANGE: UFO attacks now create explosions. This will allow you to use them to cause fires and blow stuff up a lot easier than before.
- FIX: When buying items in Val’s shop you can no longer click the buy button when you are at the max for that item.
- FIX: Perks in Val’s shop no longer say full. They now list the price as they should.
- FIX: Fixed an issue causing you to use equipped items when clicking through dialogue sometimes.
- FIX: Fixed an issue causing you to use equipped items when using computers.
- FIX: Fixed an issue causing you to use equipped items when looting bags after looking at an item of lore.
- FIX: Fixed an issue causing you to use equipped items when trying to skip Val’s text when opening the store.
- FIX: The newer lore items “Winston’s Notes” now only spawn one at a time in a bag.
Alpha 1.0.0 The Corporate District is Live!
- NEW: Third procedurally generated district is live. District 3 – the Corporate District.
- NEW: Tons of new art assets for new buildings, interiors, enemies, props and more.

- NEW: A couple more news reports have been added to the TV in between missions.
- CHANGE: You can no longer enter the sewer base when there are alerted enemies nearby.
- CHANGE: The Fishmen from District 2 now release poison when near you (better put more points in poison resist!).

- FIX: You can no longer pick up a bottle off the ground if you’re at max bottles in your inventory.
Alpha 0.2.3 New Lore, Build Your Sub, Fixes and Changes
You can now build your Submarine to 600 after completing a special mission for Winston. I’ve also added a bunch of new lore in the form of ‘Winston’s Notes’ which you will find when out looting. I’ve changed the way found lore is saved which in turn has reset the lore system. All this means is that lore you already found will show up again. District 3 is still coming along. I still need to finish the music and first set of missions before releasing it, but almost all the assets are done. My plan is to release District 3 with a handful of missions and then begin work on the final set of missions. Thanks for your support! Patch notes below!
- NEW: 11 new lore texts (“Winston’s Notes”) can be found while looting. The new lore totals 1240 words and covers the events from 2023 to 2029 from Winston’s perspective.
- NEW: New mission to progress submarine construction beyond 400. If you have your Submarine at 400(you can check under “escape progress” on the mission computer) you can now get a mission from Winston to get the next missing part as long as you have progressed in the story beyond the antibiotics mission.
- NEW: New option in the game section of the option menu to turn on mission icons. This will add markers above NPCs in the sewer base when they have something new to say or a mission for you. This is turned off by default.
- CHANGE: The mission to get the first submarine part for Winston now shows up in the mission computer while active and will be replaced by accepting a different mission. Before, after Winston told you he needed the part it was just a side thing to do whenever you wanted. Now it’s an official mission.
- CHANGE: In both Story and Free Play mode Winston will now call you over when he needs a special submarine part to continue his progress.
- CHANGE: Updated Free Play Winston’s dialogue to give you a little direction. It’s better than nothing, but I strongly recommended you play the story mode through to where Val teaches you to use the grapple before you play Free Play Mode.
- CHANGE: Lore is now saved after reading it even if you die. Before you would have to get back to the sewer base for the game to remember which lore pieces you’ve discovered.
- CHANGE: Lore has been reset. This means that lore you already found will need to be found again before it’s saved as found.
- CHANGE: Lore is now saved after dying in permadeath mode so you won’t have to keep finding the same lore pieces over and over.
- FIX: Drop attacks and teleport attacks are now working on the Fishman enemy in District 2.
- FIX: There were issues with saves not being deleted or wrong saves being deleted when playing on different save slots in permadeath mode that have been fixed.
- FIX: Arnis’ arm is no longer visible while teleporting and having the dart gun or prod equipped.
- FIX: Fixed a rare crash caused by looting some briefcases.
- FIX: Fixed a rare crash caused by the District 2 level generator.
- FIX: Fixed possible issue with being able to have two specific quests active at once.
- FIX: Fixed crash caused by attempting to open the computer screen while the game is loading.
- FIX: Fixed a depth issue with the walk way near the water in the Harbor District. Enemy blood, the teleport pad, etc. will no longer disappear below it.
