Hello everyone!
Today's update brings a bit of everything—quality of life improvements, UI enhancements, new gameplay features, balance changes, bug fixes, and achievements! We also update the game engine to the latest version 5.4
When we introduced the idea of becoming a ghost after death, the goal was to give players something to do rather than just spectate, like in the original Damned. This patch adds a new mechanic for ghosts: you can now collect ghostly batteries, pills, and a Pump Inhaler to assist your living teammates. Just pick one up and aim at a survivor to use it.
Our localization system has also received a major overhaul. By popular demand, we’ve added Chinese, Russian and Spanish to the list of supported languages. However, please note that neither I nor Heliax speak these languages, so we relied on AI for the translations. We reviewed them by translating back to English and Portuguese to ensure clarity, but there might still be some errors. If you spot any mistakes, whether translation or formatting issues (like text overflow or strange characters), please let us know so we can fix them.
Additionally, we've added 38 achievements to the game, though they are currently locked. You can view them on Steam, and if you have any cool ideas for new achievements, feel free to share them with us on our Discord channel!
