Need to Know Refresh Update (v1.25.0) - Release Notes
We’ve just released the Refresh Update for Need to Know, featuring a streamlined start to the game, dozens of usability updates, and all of the changes and fixes we’ve made since release.
For this update, we’ve focused mainly on structural amendments, particularly in Clearance Level 10. Some story elements have been repositioned, including the opening prologue and some early scenes. Our goals are to get you into gameplay quickly, space out the early story development, and allow you to advance to a higher difficulty level earlier. However, no missions have been removed, simply relocated to different points in the story, or made optional.
Home missions now have a lock-out deadline, so you’ll face a (forgiving) time pressure to make the experience a little more intense. We have also made several usability improvements, such as making it easier to skip the PeepR tutorials.
We’ve made an effort to ensure all existing save games will work with these changes, so please let us know if you experience any issues! As always, thanks so much for your continued feedback and bug reports. If you have any bug reports or suggestions to make - you can also visit this board to post them.

- Added dialogue option to skip to end of Clearance Level 10 without needing to complete all side missions

- Removed some redundant dialogue from Clearance Level 10
- Fixed issue with inconsistent positioning of personal stats panel
- Fixed outcome issue in Operation EchoWell

- General bug fixes and typo fixes

Need to Know v1.25.0b & v1.23.4 Updates - Changelog
We’ve been working on some structural changes for this update, particularly in Clearance Level 10. Some story elements have been repositioned, including the opening prologue and some early scenes. Our goals are to get you into gameplay quickly, space out the early story development, and allow you to advance to a higher difficulty level earlier. However, no missions have been removed, simply relocated to different points in the story, or made optional.
Home missions now have a lock-out deadline, so that you’ll now face a (forgiving) time pressure to make the experience a little more intense. As usual, we have also made several usability improvements, such as making the PeepR tutorials more easily skippable.
We’ve made an effort to ensure all existing save games will work with these changes, and while we haven’t encountered any issues with this, it’s possible that some saves in CL10 might load in slightly the wrong place - this is why the update is currently in beta, so please let us know if this happens!
