We’ve been teasing it for a while now, huh? But, what is this talk about Update 0.5.6?
Oh, that? Nothing major, just the fact that we overhauled Map 02 completely!
And we’re bringing this change to a beta branch. For the duration of Early Access, this helps us test out new features together with a dedicated section of our community, making sure it is understandable and not game breaking, before rolling the update out to the public. If you want to know how to join, read until the end 😊
In this Update, we completely reworked Map 02, with the goal of improving the general pacing and hiding mechanic. This includes: adjusting the introduction sequence, rehauling the map terrain, rethinking the placement of neutral armies and story triggers, and adding a little surprise to Murnau’s army.
Since this is such a big change, all your “In Progress” saves for Map 02 will be outdated! (*)
For this change, we will open up a private Steam branch for Beta-testing.
You want to join? Great! Join our Discord server, we will share the access code there.

Once you got the code, all you need to do is:
Rightclick on “Songs of Silence” in your Steam library > Properties > Betas > Private Betas > Enter your Code.
(*) Disclaimer - Once you join this private branch, DO NOT revert to the default branch:
- It will create conflicts with your save files.
- Due to the increased version number, the private beta players won't be able to play multiplayer with other live users, unless they are on private beta too.
This private branch will be the most up-to-date one, and a dedicated space for the players who want to help us improve and shape the game as we try out new things. If you do switch back to the main branch, we do not guarantee a smooth experience. When ready and community-approved, this private branch will be migrated to the main branch and become the “new” public version. Seamlessly for you. Thanks for understanding!
This private Update will also tackle some other bugs, which will later be brought to the main branch.
BUGS TACKLED:
- Fixed a bug where AI armies did not re-enter their own locations to manage their supplies, armies, cards and more
