Bug Fixes -We've fixed some issues when loading areas that could result in crashes to the desktop.
Development Note This will be our last big content patch for a while, as we are doing our best to iron out bugs and issues, so the next series of patches will mostly be general improvements and bug fixes. We are also adding voice acting into the game which will be ready for the next beta.

-Suprise! The first boss has been added to the game. Defeating him and going into the crypt tunnel marks the new end of Early Access.

This is just one of the bosses that will feature in the final game.

We are working to fix this issue, however it will not affect gameplay.
Version 0.5.0 (Beta 1)
Excellent news! With this update we've finally reached the first beta phase, and there's lots of quality changes, new areas and Rose is finally playable!
-Rose is now playable when you reach the Lab section of the game, she will take over from Albert. Rose has ESP and monsters are less likely to be inclined to attack her. This is a mechanic that is going to be expanded upon. Rose has a seperate inventory to Albert, don't worry, your items are not lost. She starts with a combat knife, and no gun, so it's a little more difficult from here on out.
-Added cinematic when meeting with Rose in the lab.
-You can now explore the escape tunnel, that leads to the Sanctuary Asylum, a whole new section of the game. The Asylum is now the end point of Early Access.
-Note, once you reach the lab this is a point of no return, so before entering make sure you've grabbed everything you need before proceeding
-You'll notice the size of the game download has increased. This is because we've added new sections of the game and Rose's sections of the game. We are getting clsoe to getting most of the assets in the game, so the next patches will be smaller than this one.
-We've fixed lab door animations not appearing sometimes when exiting,
-All safe rooms will now play the 'safe' music cue.
-Fixed camera bug in lounge of the Living Quarters that could make leaving the room difficult
Known Issues
-There are some camera move issues, if you encounter these just keep walking in that direction that you were heading to and it will catch up. We are working to fix this.
Version 0.4.1 Alpha
-We've added Rose to the intro cinematic, and added thier script in preparation for adding the voice acting files. Their animations are still being worked on, and will animate as they talk in a future patch. -We've improved the lighting during the intro cinematic, along with the overall quality. -We've added double doors to the mansion intro cinematic to reflect later changes. -We've fixed a bug that would cause the intro segment to be played twice if it was skipped -We've updated Rose artwork throughout the game to reflect her new model. -When entering the mansion Albert will now face down the hallway instead of just at the door.
Version 0.4 Alpha
-We've added the inside of the shed, with the ladder inside, that now also has the shotgun inside and leads down to the underground (before opening the door to the shed would just take you down) -The save station has also been moved to the shed. -The underground has now been completed, with the biggest battle of the horde yet to tackle. The cameras are still being worked on, so expect bugs. -The infinite loop bug with the laddder has been fixed. -We've now added the underground lab, of which we have moved the end point of the Early Access version to. The underground lab is still under work. You can also use the key code system here.
Known Issues -The lab door opening transitions are using a retextured standard door asset, this will be replaced with the lab doors in a future patch -Rose is not yet available in this patch but we have nearly finished work on her animations now so we expect that it won't be too long before the dual character system is ready by the next patch -Some camera angle transitions are bugged, we are working to fix them.
