Let's start talking about ARCADE MODE, what exactly is this mode? This mode was created thinking of the most competitive players in our community, in fact this mode objective is to accumulate points or try to win as fast as possible. Players will be able to freely decide whether to compete to make the best times or to make the best scores (or both) and compete worldwide thanks to the introduction of the Leaderboard (more details in the section below).
The mode must be unlock by beating the game in Explorer or Nightmare.
Among the new features, the most important are the addition of Leaderboards and the new Area.
Regarding the Leaderboards, the game from now on will register the records of all players and dynamically build a competition based on them... it will also be possible to filter by time or by score your own (or global) results.
The new Area of this update is very special since it will deepen the main lore of the game and give new ideas and interpretations. To avoid spoilers, for those who want, we will leave some screenshots of the Area below:

With each update, we as developers work hard to ensure the delivery of an even better gaming experience and for this 0.9 we wanted to improve the Trip mode (added in the last update) and the animations of the scroll hud.
Regarding the Trip mode we have added some pills that, if ingested, will give strange effects to the player's view... in our opinion these new pickups will increase the sense of the mode making it even more strange and interesting to play. Below you will find some examples:
As for the improvement of the scroll hud, we have made the animation of use more nice and cured:
As it was for halloween, we also decided to participate to the Steam Autumn Sale. As always, our intent is to build an ever larger community around our game!
Last but not least, we really wanted to thank our betatesters for their contribution in improving the game and we also thank all the players who are filling the Community Hub with LOCIS screenshots, fanarts and videos...
