New District!
Embr is using this opportunity to expand to new markets! From your app, you can now access the complete District 2, with 7 brand new missions featuring corporate and higher networth clients. Here’s your opportunity to earn even more cash. But watch out Respondr, with greater opportunities come greater risks. Keep an eye out for the new, pricey, state-of -the-art Defendr security systems and face off against the up and coming startup Fyre, looking to steal Embr’s market share at every turn. Turn away Fyre’s marketing gimmicks and help us extinguish its flames once and for all.

Embr’s festive Holiday Update out now
Holiday greetings, Responders!
Hot on the heels of our Winter Update last month, Embr’s Holiday update is out now on Steam! Here’s a full rundown of what you can expect...
BoxBox Delivery and Cleanup Gig
With the Holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to earn a bit extra, and spend it right back in the Embr app! With the Holidays, clients are shopping online and shipping more than ever. We’ve partnered with BoxBox Delivery just in time to offer what our clients can’t have more of - boxes.
With the new BoxBox Delivery and Cleanup campaign, you’ll be delivering boxes to your clients in the nick of time, and also clean up their box waste in the most explosive manner possible. Who needs to recycle boxes when we could just burn them up. It’s much faster. Beware though, while the BoxBox boxes are ultra lightweight, they are also highly flammable. So handle with care!
Vacuum Grenade
The product lab at Embr has done it again! For this Holidays, we are introducing the next big thing in grenades for firefighting. The brand new vacuum grenade removes air and moisture directly from the environment, helping you smother fire, and cleanup excess water. Get it before it sells out!
[Community Choice] Performance Options:
Allow Reduced Physics Quality
Should help those of you experiencing low FPS on lower-end CPUs
<*> Room Render Distance
Should help those of you with lower-end GPUs
Will fade out rooms farther away from you, (you’ll see doors and windows in the distance fade to a dark color)
Low is only recommended for below minimum spec players
[Community Choice] Player Comfort:
Added a Motion Sickness Crosshair option in Video Settings
If you experience motion sickness, and increased FOV does not appear to help, please try this out in Video Settings
Try and focus your vision at the middle of the crosshair while playing.
Embr Gear Drop: Holiday Outfits
Nothing pleases the eyes of your clients than the new Embr holidays fashion line. Earn more good will and tips, plus reach higher heights. Clients may be more generous with the stuff they leave behind as well.

Holiday Key Giveaway!

To enter, follow us on Twitter, and tag a buddy in your reply to the giveaway tweet!
Thanks for all your support for Embr in 2020. We hope you have a wonderful Holidays, and if you're enjoying the game and the update, it would be an amazing help to leave a Steam review! More reviews would definitely help more people find Embr. Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter and Discord.
