Dear Citizens,
To mark Steam Next Fest, we have just released a major update to the demo version of “What Awaits, Aleksey?”
This new version of the demo includes a number of improvements that bring it closer to the full version of the game, which is now fast approaching.
We have refined multiple elements of the gameplay, interactions, and presentation to make Aleksey’s first days at the Bureau of Ciphers better reflect the atmosphere of the final investigation.
If you have already played the demo, we strongly recommend returning to your post and experiencing the improvements for yourself.
Please let us know what you think of the changes in the comments or through the in-game feedback form.
And if you have not played yet, we encourage all willing applicants to submit their… job application. In the game. :)
See you at the desk,
OKO Cipher Bureau, Department of Interactive Systems
