In three days we'll be part of Steam Next Fest: October 2025! We also put out an update the other week that adds lots of new variations for the demo ending.
So, if you have yet to try out the demo, now is the perfect time.
Today I wanted to give you an overview of the third and (maybe) final of your three crew mates: Ira.
WHO IS IRA
Ira is the only one in your factory who had a life on the surface. He spent years as a motorman before the Surface War and might even share some memories with you, if you ask. He's a stabilizing force in the factory and simply wants to get on with his work. He might not be the most energetic of your crew mates, but he's always there to listen if you need him.
REMNANTS OF THE SURFACE
If you find that you connect with Ira over a longing for the surface world, you may find yourself delving into the factory's past and even discovering pieces of the surface world that might require more work than you expected.
WHAT WAS LEFT BEHIND
Working with Ira, you might even find yourself going beyond your factory into old halls that were thought to be sealed.
I hope you've enjoyed this dive into the last of the three crew mates that you will be working with in The Funnel. Keep an eye out for more updates as we start to discuss the new minigames that you will encounter in the second act.
