Hey everyone!
First of all — thank you for playing our first demo and taking the time to share your feedback. We’ve read all of it. Seriously. After the demo went live, we didn’t slow down — we dug into every report, comment, and suggestion to make the game better before Steam Demo Fest.
What we’ve fixed since the last update:
• Save files
Fixed issues with saves failing to load, items disappearing, and several cases where players could get stuck after loading.
• Crafting
Crafting actions that didn’t work properly are now fixed. Timers are more reasonable, and hand-crafting no longer feels delayed or broken.
• Zombies
Say goodbye to disappearing zombies, invisible attackers, and weird damage reactions.
• Progression blockers
We fixed multiple soft-lock situations like missing hammers, destroyed stations, and other issues that could stop your progress.
• Movement
Sprint now works consistently when you expect it to.
• Repair system
Repairs now use one repair kit at a time instead of consuming all of them.
• Tutorials
Added clearer explanations for the core mechanics, especially for new players.
• Small but important things
More available wood, better keyboard bindings, siege timer adjustments, and other quality-of-life improvements.
What we’ve added to the game:
• Growing System
You can now grow your own food and trees. Less running around the map looking for resources, more planning and survival.
• Slot Machine
An arcade machine where you can spend coins you find and win valuable loot. Each coin increases your chances, so a win is guaranteed.
• Lore Journal
Notes written by the girl about the strange world she found herself in — and how to survive in it. A bit more story and atmosphere.
We’re a small team, and unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to make old save files compatible with all the new changes. This means you’ll need to start a new game. We’re really sorry about this and truly appreciate your understanding.
We’re very excited to meet you at Steam Demo Fest!
