SURROUNDED DAILY DEAL

V0.8.9 | Voice Chat Update
This update aims to tackle the proximity voicechat of Surrounded.
Where voicechat would previously clip, be choppy, or not work at all, you can now expect a smooth experience both in hunted and storymode. When launching the game you'll get a popup prompting you to calibrate your microphone and select your desired input device.

We'd love to see your funny moments using voicechat in the discord!

Other than fixing and overhauling voicechat, we have also fixed a bug where the centipede would keep chasing the player indefinitely without ever despawning.

So that's basically it! It helps us a ton to receive bug reports! If you haven't encountered any bugs, leaving general feedback helps a lot as well!
