- SCREAMERS WITH MONSTERS UPDATE + Patch Note #45 - 19 April 2025
Hello Zookeepers! We’ve finally reached Screamer System 2.0. In addition to the basic “preparatory” screamers, we’ve now added screamers with animals and monsters. Honestly, this probably should’ve made it in before release, but fate had other plans. We're looking forward to your feedback! Oh, and of course—our classic patch notes. This past week, softlocks and blockers have barely shown up in Trello, which feels like a good sign. The ones that do appear are extremely difficult to reproduce. Here's a short list: Blocking during blood collection: It took us two days to track this one down. We've fixed it multiple times, and every time we see it pop up in Trello again, it’s a tragedy. The issue turned out to be in the AI action system architecture—on very rare occasions, it would trigger two actions at once for animals. The same bug was causing issues with petting and parasite vomiting. F…

- STILL ALIVE + Patch note #42 - 2 April 2025
Big update with NEW ANIMALS coming soon! 🐼 We will bring this update together with the CONSOLE RELEASE, Steam, and Epic all at once. Stay tuned – it’s on the way! 🚀 Here are some additional bugs we have fixed: Giraffes sometimes stood still and didn’t react to anything during the tutorial. This issue had been around for a long time, but it was very difficult to find and pinpoint. Now, it’s fully resolved, and their appetite has been restored. Infected animals sometimes wouldn’t heal before transforming, or in some cases, they would mutate when shot with the correct medicine. Fixed. On Xbox controllers, players couldn’t exit the kitchen-factory using (B). This was just an oversight on our part—fixed now. Fixed a very rare issue where a mutant not only attacked the player but also permanently took away their controls. Mutants would revert to normal animals after being fed meat, only to…
- GRAND UPDATE - 29 March 2025
Hey Zookeepers! It's been a while since our last update, and now we’re excited to announce a massive update that fixes all known major bugs and brings significant design changes to the game. We've worked to reduce repetitiveness, make the game more accessible, and implement extensive quality-of-life improvements. Here’s the list of fixes: Design The global core loop has been changed. Now, your primary objective is solely to extract the parasite from an infected animal. All other mechanics are auxiliary and serve to help achieve this main goal. The tutorial has been globally reworked and expanded. You will complete a parasite extraction mission, which will serve as the first gameplay task for identifying a mutant before transformation. IMPORTANT: If you have existing save files, it is strongly recommended to start a new game with the tutorial to understand the new gameplay mechanics and…
