What’s Next
This update is part of a broader effort to improve clarity and overall game feel. With better feedback and cleaner UI in place, we can keep iterating on systems without adding unnecessary friction during gameplay.
We’re currently working on objective-related improvements and gameplay adjustments that will affect your runs and how decisions are made along the way. We’ll share more once those changes are ready to be shown.
As always, keep the feedback coming. It’s shaping the direction of every update.
See you in The Zone.
