[p]Fixed bug with Overflow and Aegis powerups resetting armor type to green armor[/p]
[p]Removed menu options for unsupported audio sample rates[/p]
Better put on your lava suit first as this is our hottest deployment to date!Episode 4 is live - packed with new gear, uniquely designed enemies, and five brutal maps that crank the heat way past safe levels.
Once a quiet moon orbiting Saturn, Daphnis has been overrun and converted into a sprawling industrial weapon by a rogue scientist and left in the hands of a barely-operational AI - one bad command away from total meltdown.Now it stands as a war-torn ruin, buried under colossal structures built for a single purpose: total destruction. As you push deeper into the wreckage, you’ll catch glimpses of the solar system’s violent past, uncovering the ruthless events and societal breakdowns that cleared the path for PTC’s rise.
Beyond these new five maps designed with vertical sprawl and packed to the boiling point with environmental hazards, secrets, you can expect heavy resistance - luckily you have new tools at your disposal.
The Fission Dynamo - a high-voltage answer to overcrowded rooms. Use with extreme caution.
Two combat drones - autonomous allies from humanity’s forgotten wars, redeployed to watch your back.
The Lava Suit - lets you swim where others melt. You’ll need it. The heat here isn’t just metaphorical.
High-grade armor - rugged, reliable, and built for taking sustained enemy fire.

Episode 3 Release Date Announcement
Get Ready for Episode 3
In case you have missed the news from Zlim's FPS Showcase , the newest episode will be dropping on the 27th of June. That is right - a whole new episode, THIS MONTH!
Going Sub-zero
This time it is going to get cold, as Zorah Null will traverse Frozen Wastes. This eerie wasteland covered in ice is your new destination and while definitely pretty, this place is an ice-cold killer. New enemies and obstacles await Zorah, sometimes even literally, as you will find ice walls blocking your passage. Lucky you have the perfect ice-breaker and conversation starter - the power drill! But before you get all excited for exploration, you will have to deal with the new enemies and let me tell you - they have no chill.
New Enemies
The Terpsipede will make you feel like you have accidentally booted up a game from the Bullet Hell genre as this thing does not believe in a bullet-free zone nor in friendly-fire. While this robotic tripod will make your blood pumping, the other new enemy will give you chills!
The Phantalect will turn any scene into a horror show as this phantasm will haunt you by entering corpses of previously slain enemies and making you fight them all over again and again.. and again - just like laundry. Unlike laundry, you can exorcize this bastard with violence and speaking of violence…
New Weapon - Arc Divider
When you really need to unsubscribe something from existence, you pull out the Arc Divider. With this gun, it does not matter if the target is far away and uncomfortably close as you can adjust the spread and accuracy with primary and secondary fire. You can even charge each shot to make sure the other thing won’t be showing up on the upcoming census. As an added bonus, whatever this thing won’t melt, it will leave it paralyzed for some time, so that you can finish the job.
Episode 3 is right around the corner See you on the 27.06.2024

Warm up your drills, Episode 2 is here!
Patience pays off, as the day we all have been waiting for is here – continue your adventures in Supplice as Episode 2 releases today!
Whether it be that you’ve recently finished maps from Episode 1, or it’s rather been some time already, prepare yourself as the next episode is prettier than ever – all polished and enhanced just waiting for you to start yet another brutal affair. Five new maps, loaded with content and pixel perfect enviro, expand Zorah’s survival story and take you on a run from a new assembly of enemies.
As hordes of monsters are emerging from every corner, you might spot some new faces (or at least their equivalent) among them. Take, for example, Phlogis – his humanoid appearance might mislead you to prepare for some fistfight. Instead, this creature will attempt to get as close to you as possible – just to blow up in your face. Our other new opponent, a ghost called Vespur, is actually our melee master this time, as it floats around in the air. His huge upper limbs look like sharp blades, and so they serve this purpose. Talking about floating, Effluvium, despite its bubbly appearance, is a dangerous foe – a living gas emitter, so better be aware once you spot its vapors nearby.
Each level ends with a good old school intermission screens, in a nostalgic Doom vibe. They get more into the plot of Supplice’s world-saving story once you’ve cleared certain stages of the game.
All that and more waiting for you right now, so don’t waste any more time and jump back into the terraforming hell.
