Hey, everyone!
EMPTY SHELL celebrates Steam Next Fest, starting October 9.
To anticipate the full release of the game on October 16, 10am PST, a brand new Demo will be playable for the duration of the event. This will allow you to prepare properly for the full game, available right after the Next Fest ends. You will be then able to jump right into the full experience with a head start, as the Demo progress carries over to the full version.
If you played previous pre-release versions of EMPTY SHELL, you might be wondering what's new in the Steam NEXT Fest demo. Here are the highlights:
- New reloading system: weapons now have proper mags, so you'll need to keep an eye on the bullets counter, if you want to avoid getting caught reloading in the middle of a fight
- Secret rooms: every level will have one or more secret rooms, hidden behind walls, where you might find interesting loot. The DETECTOR is a new gadget that will help you find these rooms
- Two new achievements
- An interacting console that can be used to discover more lore about the Facility and the experiments that took place there
- The Worm has a new design and a better behavior: still tough, but more manageable
- The Shotgun has been re-balanced, with fair stopping power and a better distribution of the damage based on distance
- The Laser Rifle has now a fairer charging time, that should make it more convenient to use
Again, any progress you make in the demo will carry over the full game: you'll be able to pick up where you left or start fresh, you choose.
Enjoying EMPTY SHELL? Make sure to add the full game to your Steam wishlist - this is the most welcome and effective way of supporting us, aside from purchasing the game day one, and reviewing it as soon as you know you love it!
