We've focused this update on Gameplay systems. Making the experience richer, but also stranger.
We are also going to release the first Narrative Update in 2-3 months, hopefully earlier, but these things take time. We'll be specifically working on new characters, new events, and most importantly we'll explore and delve into more detail regarding previous characters and some lore aspects.
But for now - Here's what's new:
New Anomalies & Symptoms
Shoggoth mimic (anomaly)
One patient..isn't what it seems
The Watchers (anomaly)
Something has taken interest in you.
More tool symptoms
New diseases for the Magnifier and Stethoscope to reveal. Eyes. Mouths. You'll experience it all.
New Modes
Infinity mode
Heal endlessly, rack up points.. Until you slip. Every death has a cost.
Do No Harm mode
Send even one patient at -1 or 0? The game ends. Be precise. Be mercilessly careful.
Time rush mode
Heal efficiently to earn bonus seconds. Fail, and your time bleeds away.
