• Aim Overhaul and Boss Changes - 17 September 2025

  In today's update, For the Greater Good's camera and aiming systems have been completely overhauled. Now, the player aims with a crosshair, and the character will face toward it. You can lock the crosshair onto a specific enemy by pressing the lock-on button (middle click by default). The new system is less disorienting, feels a lot smoother, and requires much less mouse movement in situations that need precise aim. The lock-on function should also make bosses significantly easier since the player can focus on dodging. Aiming on controllers has changed to a twin-stick system with the same lock-on function.The new aiming system will now be the default, and the old third person mode can be selected in the options.A large selection of bosses have been toned down and reworked, especially ones with abilities that needed a large amount of trial and error to figure out. Combined with the new c…

• Release Delay - 7 July 2025

  The game will be released this Friday, July 11th. Sorry and thank you for your patience.

• Demo Released - 13 May 2025

  I’m proud to present the first chapter of For the Greater Good as a free, permanent demo available now. If you enjoy it, wishlisting the game would really help me a lot. This demo is also an opportunity to iron out bugs and compatibility issues before the full release. I have made a build of the game for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, but I have not been able to test compatibility at a larger scale, especially on linux with its wide range of distributions. If you encounter a bug or the game does not run on your operating system, please make a post about it in the game’s steam discussions under the “Bug Reporting” tab, or shoot an email to [email protected]. Any other feedback is welcome as well. Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to you guys’ thoughts. -Alexander Urban
