This patch introduces Y-Axis Inversion, once you get into the game just open up the menu with ESC and the toggle should be under the Options.
The following fixes and changes have also been included:

There were numerous ways to permanently crouch, which could break progression. These should all be fixed.
The cryo door can no longer be clipped through.
Some clipping on a few environment objects have been cleaned up.
Something's changed with the cryotubes. And is now more in line with the backstory.
The biggest bugs have now been handled, and we're working on cleaning up the rest and continuing to polish things as we find them. We also have some ideas for a few content updates in the near future, so keep an eye out for that!
Once again, we're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking your feedback and suggestions all under consideration!

Hello again everyone! Thanks again for all your support, the reception continues to surprise us!
We're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking as much as we can into consideration! Today we have some quick fixes to a few nagging issues:

There were still some clipping issues with the vent, usually not game breaking, but still a nuisance. These should all be resolved at this point.
Loading between loops should have a smoother appearance to it now.
The "Unlimited" option has been removed from the Options for the time being, as it was causing lag and not properly uncapping FPS.
FPS options will now stick going in and out of the menu.
Some lighting wasn't showing up correctly at certain points in the game, and that has now been fixed, but we'll leave the specifics of that for you to discover!
Again, thank you all so much for your support! Expect further bug fixes and content updates in the coming days and weeks.

Hello everyone! The reception so far has been amazing, thank you all for playing!
After numerous reports from players, we've pinpointed a few major bugs that have now been patched out of the game:

An issue where interactions stop working after interacting with the record is now resolved.
You can no longer walk backwards through the loop door when after stepping through it.
You can no longer clip through the ventilation shaft.
You can no longer spawn or respawn outside of bounds.
There are also a few improvements to gameplay and audio, but we'll leave that for you to discover on your own!
We're watching Steam and streaming platforms and we hear you! Expect more big fixes and other changes in the near future.
