Hi everyone!
I’m Alessio, the developer of Octopus Goulash.
It’s been a while since the last update and a lot has happened, but don’t worry—the game has never stopped moving forward.
Today I’m bringing you a big update that fixes many reported issues and adds new areas, missions, and mechanics.
This is not the final version of the story yet, but it will let you experience much more of how relationships with NPCs affect the world and life in the city.
I’ve also added several new crime-related features: you can now buy illegal goods, weapons, and even hack other operators.
As always, your feedback is invaluable. If you find bugs, crashes, or unclear parts of the game, please report them through the form on the website or contact me directly.
> Tip: Always start a new game—old saves may not be compatible.
Note: voice in dialogues has been temporarily disabled.

Main new features:
Improved NPC AI: NPCs now react based on their memory of you. If they like you, they’ll greet you. If they have a bad temper and hate you, they might even attack.
Dynamic dialogues: even during missions, dialogues can change depending on your relationship with the NPC.
Crime system: becoming friends with criminals may get you invited into the business.
Timed missions.
Improved illegal races.
Car recovery service if you get stuck.
Improved city map.
Change clothes anytime.
NPC social interactions: they can now ask you out.
Choice-based quest system.
Improved passenger handling system.
Three graphics quality modes (Low mode is highly optimized).
New audio system with master and radio volume control.
Improved showers (now also in hotels).
Firearms available from dealers or if you’re part of the crime network.
Software shop with better explanations in the Fixer career.
New districts added to the city.
