Improvements Prologue and Continue Recovery Improved assistant recovery when continuing an interrupted Prologue session. Laboratory assistants should now return to their intended work areas more consistently instead of appearing in invalid or unreachable locations. Laboratory Staff Navigation Improved assistant movement around capsules and laboratory work areas. Assistant positions and routes are now checked more carefully, reducing cases where workers repeatedly attempt to reach invalid or inaccessible locations. More Reliable Task Changes Improved how assistants react when a different gameplay system takes control of their movement. Normal task…
- Performance and Prologue Stability Improvements - 2 August 2026
Hello, Scientists, This focused update brings general performance improvements and additional optimizations for the Prologue experience.

These changes should help improve overall gameplay smoothness, especially in areas containing many active objects. We also improved the consistency of object visibility during scene loading. Prologue Performance and Stability Improved how assistant tasks and interactions are handled during the Prologue. Assistant movement, carrying, and interaction processes now clean up more efficiently when they are interrupted or no longer needed. These changes should reduce unnecessary background activity and improve Prologue stability, particularly when multiple assistants are active. Closing This update is focus…

- 20% Discount, Tutorials and Infection Improvements - 2 June 2026
Hello, Scientists, To celebrate our new 20% discount, which will run until June 15, we are releasing a new update focused on infection balance, clearer experiment feedback, and new tutorial support for Assistant and Experiment Logs systems. Improvements Slower Infection Growth Player infection now increases more slowly. The infection growth rate has been reduced by 20%, giving players more time to react, craft vaccines, and manage infection pressure during a run. This should make infection progression feel less punishing, especially during the early and mid-game. Improved Experiment Logs Feedback Experiment Logs feedback has been rewritten to be clearer and more natural. Failed experiment feedback should now give more readable guidance without directly revealing the correct classification or exact solution. The goal is to keep the puzzle feeling intact while making it easier to understa…
- New Infection Tutorial and Market Balance Changes - 9 May 2026
Hello, Scientists, This update focuses on making the infection and vaccine flow easier to understand while softening the Supply Market economy balance. New Features New Infection Tutorial A new infection tutorial has been added. The tutorial appears when the player reaches 50% total infection for the first time. It explains the infection indicator, the choice between crafting viruses and vaccines, and how to use vaccines during gameplay. This tutorial is especially important for the early game, since your character starts infected with TcA, and your first major goal is to produce a TcA vaccine. The tutorial will only appear once per save/session, but it can appear again when starting a new game or after clearing save data. Improvements Clearer Vaccine Guidance The infection tutorial now gives players clearer guidance on the vaccine flow. It explains that vaccines can be crafted as part…
- Stability, Steam Service and Shadow Performance Improvements - 4 May 2026

Improvements Engine and Rendering Updates Several engine and rendering pipeline components have been updated. These changes help keep the game on a stronger technical foundation and support future stability, performance, and visual improvements. Steam Service Handling Improvements Steam-related startup and logging behavior has been improved. The game now handles cases where Steam data is delayed or temporarily unavailable more safely, reducing the chance of Steam-related startup or logging issues. Shadow Performance Improvements Shadow update behavior has been optimized. Lights outside the camera view now update less frequently, reducing unnecessary shadow processing while keeping important visible lighting behavior intact. This should…

New Features Experiment Logs You can now review recent capsule test results from the workstation. The new Experiment Logs panel keeps track of your latest capsule tests, including both successful and failed experiments. Failed tests now provide more useful information without revealing the exact solution. For failed capsule tests, the details panel can show: Closest Match Similarity Suggested Direction Suggested Direction gives puzzle-like guidance such as improving stability, reducing aggressive mutation patterns, adjusting transmission behavior, or fixing viability problems. The system keeps the latest 20 experiment records, so you can review recent results and use them to improve your next blu…
- Assistant Call, Sequencer, Performance and Fixes - 30 April 2026
Hello, Scientists, This update focuses on improving virus classification, DNA sequence management, assistant control, laboratory stability, and general performance. Improvements New Call Assistant Feature You can now call an assistant directly to your current location by pressing C. If you have at least one available assistant, the HUD interaction list will switch to an assistant selection list. Choose an assistant from the list, and they will come to your location. If the selected assistant is currently busy, the call will be queued. They will come to you after finishing their current task. When you have multiple assistants, the assistant list is shuffled each time it opens. This should make it easier to access different assistants when many are hired. Better Assistant Call Feedback Added a new notification when a busy assistant is called. This makes it clearer that the assistant recei…

Hello, Scientists, This update focuses on smoother movement, better world map controls, improved crafting and building reliability, and several gameplay fixes based on player feedback. Improvements Player Movement and Carrying Fixes Player sprint behavior has been improved. Sprint speed is now handled more consistently, and movement animations should better match sprinting, manual movement, and autopilot movement. We also fixed an issue where the character could get stuck while carrying a box or a subject. World Map Keyboard Controls The world map can now be moved with keyboard input. Added support for: WASD Arrow keys Keyboard movement is disabled while dragging the map with the mouse or while typing in input fields, so it should not interfere with normal UI use. Crafting Reliability Fixed an issue where viruses or vaccines could sometimes not be crafted even when the player had enough…
