Hello detectives! A new experimental patch appears! It's been a while since our last patch so we have an extra big one for you hitting experimental today. This one is packed with features and even some new content. For details, see the list below.
Experimental Branch: These builds are only found on our ‘experimental’ steam branch. You can access this by right clicking the game in your steam library, choosing ‘properties’, then the ‘betas’ tab. The experimental build should be in the dropdown list. Experimental builds may be less tested than the default branch builds. Most experimental branch patches will make their way to the default branch after a week or two (barring any issues discovered).
