Hello citizens!
As you might have heard on social media and Discord, City 20 is getting irradiated! Version 0.5.0 brings a slew of changes to the game!
For those looking for a new adventure, prepare to explore the LINAC - a mysterious abandoned research facility with an eerie backstory. Visit the complex's surroundings, deal with the huge amount of radiation that makes the land inhabitable, and do your best to discover what lies beneath its concrete walls. Rumors have it that unspeakable experiments were conducted there before the incident, so be ready for anything!
But that's not all! We heard your requests for more ways to learn and discover things in the game, which is why the update also introduces readable recipes and blueprints. And then lore notes, a new Doctor NPC, a wider selection of items available in stores, and much more!
