Welcome back, contestants!
We're back, baby, with another patch—and this one is literally crawling with improvements.. We heard your cries, your desperate gasps, and—let’s be honest—your incoherent shrieks, so we’ve gone ahead and fine-tuned the chaos just for you. We’ve expanded Hospital and Outdoor areas for better navigation, reworked maze puzzles to be slightly less cruel (especially for solo players). Oh, and poison antidotes are now easier to find—so if you still die, that’s on you. We’ve also tweaked employee behavior, fixed sync issues, and optimized performance, meaning everything wants to kill you more efficiently. Now get back in there—the suffering won’t start itself. 💀🔥
