Hey everyone,

Quick update. The first Buried Below demo hotfix is now live on itch and being published to steam in a few minutes.

Thank you so much to everyone who has played, commented, rated, wishlisted, streamed or reported issues so far. I’m reading the feedback closely and already pushed a fast patch for the most important things people ran into.

Fixed and improved:

The demo no longer ends randomly or from picking up items like rocks. That was not intended. It now ends through the proper forest progression moment with narration.

Fixed a bug where crouching near before picking up the backpack could break the game's flow and cause you to be a snake (permanently crouched but with normal walk speed).

Increased the clerk's rap volume on the store's PC.

Reduced the hand washing and hand dryer interaction time.

Reduced the cooldown before the guitar can be interacted with again.

Added a small sleeping effect above the girlfriend in the camper.

Updated credits text animation in the main menu.

Fixed a major quality issue with the road's bridge texture. 

Some texture improvements.

Improved the girlfriend walking animation when she moves toward the tent.

This is just the first quick hotfix. More improvements are planned, and I’ll keep listening to feedback directly. Some new features coming too.

Thank you all again. The support so far has genuinely meant a lot. <3
