Here’s what awaits you:
Secret Level 2: Hard Reset
Luzilian already hijacked your VRAM for mining. Your GPU became a space heater that sometimes remembered it used to render games.
That wasn’t enough.
Now they want your RAM. All of it. Luzilian gave the order: rip the RAM sticks out of ordinary people’s PCs and haul them to his data centers.
They took the video memory for mining.
Now they want the system memory for business.
Only one fix left. Hard Reset. Brutal Dog must stop this madness.
Enjoy the update!
❓ OK. BUT HOW TO ACCESS NEW LEVEL?
The new level can be accessed in two ways:
1) Near the end of Level 16, next to the final lift, you’ll find the entrance to Secret Level 2.
2) From the Main Menu, open the Chapters menu. It is listed as "Secret Level 2: Hard Reset", just before Level 17.
