We are back with a massive new update! We focused on several experiential as well as mechanical systems this time around.
The big boss finally makes an appearance in the game, and you can now get your friends and viewers on a twitch stream to vote for your choices.
Many quality of life improvements and new strategic decisions with the employees themselves joining in the battles are part of this update.
No more repetitive location and combat music. Yes, we read the reviews. We hope you review the game and keep sharing your feedback.
Changelog
