Evil Awaits 3rd major update is here!
In this update I've added lots of player-requested content such as: New Game+, New upgrades, languages, control options and more.
New Game +
New game Plus is here! Carry over your save, keep all your weapons, and continue upgrading as you restart the adventure through Archdale—this time, with new upgrades to find and stronger enemies to fight.
Upon reaching the end ranking screen on completion of the story of Evil Awaits, you will be given the option to create a New Game+ save in any slot. The number of New Games started within one save will be recorded, and can be seen on any of the save and load screens.
(Thats right, you can New Game+ as much as you like!)
Returning Players
If a returning player has completed the game before patch 1.3, and they currently have a save in the level: Castle. They will be eligible to load and create a New Game+ save via a new menu that will appear when you next update and launch Evil Awaits.
New Upgrades
With this update comes 8 brand new journals and upgrades to find, all exclusive to New Game+. Burst Fire, Rate Of Fire, Max Health and more.. Look forward to collecting a brand new way to upgrade and adapt every firearm in the game!
