• Halloween update - 29 October 2022

  A new patch has been released for the demo version! We decided to keep the demo available even after the Dreamhack indie showcase ended and to gradually update it. The current patch is dedicated to Halloween and is aimed to improve stability. ⚠️ Make sure you delete old saves! ⚠️ You can do this in-game from the Save/Load menu. If you try to load a save from an older version of the game, the logic of the game may be broken. Path Notes: Fixed a variety of different saving/loading errors; Edited some texts and some logical errors in quests; Additional work has been done to the sounds. Notes and boxes are now "turned off" after use (so you can tell what you've already seen and what you haven't yet) Hive mode is now in a "Halloween themed" design. Many of the fixed bugs we were able to find thanks to you. Thank you so much for playing DRAKE and giving us your feedback and bug reports! After…

  Friends, three days have passed since the demo was published and more than 100 people have already played DRAKE! Thank you very much for your interest! Just a reminder that we have a small survey where you can leave your feedback - https://forms.gle/wkMCtTD7vCSxWmG3A Some important results we have received these days: - One of the weakest computers on which I was able to pass the current demo: (i5 1035, 8gb RAM, GeForce MX130) - Do not forget to change graphics preset to Low on a weak PC! (The default settings preset is High) - The game runs even on the built-in graphics core, although it runs very unstable. It is recommended to run the demo on a PC/Laptop with a discrete graphics card. We have found the weak points and will optimize them in the future. - Thanks to you we have found some quite critical bugs. They are related to the ability to save/load, which we added literally 3 weeks…
