- ❄️ Location Teaser: Everyone Left This Town - 3 September 2026
Hey, Employees!Last time we asked you to guess where our locations came from, and we promised answers. Here they are:Shot 1 – Dust. Most of you had it in about four seconds.Shot 3 – Twin Peaks. The curtains did all the work.Shot 4 – Haruhi Suzumiya. Opening doors is sort of her thing.Shots 2 and 5 – not references at all. One is a submarine interior, the other is wind turbines in the ocean. Watching some of you build full theories around those two was the highlight of our week 🤫Now here's something that isn't a nod to anything — it's entirely ours.Somewhere in the permafrost belt there's a small town where nobody lives anymore. The buildings are intact. A few lights are still on. The people are gone.Getting through it isn't a walk down a street. The snow has been piling up here for a very long time, and the drifts are tall enough to climb – straight onto the rooftops. Your route throug…
- 🚪 Guess Where These Doors Lead - 28 August 2026
Hey, Employees!The Labyrinth doesn't build its worlds from scratch. It borrows them. It drags in pieces of other realities, chews them up, and spits out something that feels familiar and deeply wrong at the same time.Below are screenshots from locations we're building right now. Every single one is a nod to something that already exists out there. Some references are loud and you'll catch them in a second. Others are buried in the details – the shape of a corridor, the color of a curtain, the exact way the light hits the floor.We're not telling you which is which 🤫Here's the game:Look at the screenshotsPost your guesses in the comments – number the shot, name the sourceArgue with each other about it, that's honestly half the funWe'll go through the full list in the next dev diary, including a couple we're betting nobody gets.Screenshots are below – start guessing 👇

- HR approved this one - 24 July 2026
Hello, everyone!We'd like to introduce you to our Inflatable Employee. This cutting-edge shop item inflates into a life-sized, Employee-shaped balloon when deployed. It emits sounds and pulls enemy attention away from your team. It's a great way to buy a few precious seconds when things get hot. But, this decoy isn't indestructible. It can only absorb 1-2 hits before it pops and becomes unusable, so keep your inventory stocked and ready to go. Onboarding complete. Now go put your new hire to work.

- New Threats, New Solutions - 17 April 2026
Hello, Wonderers!At the beginning scanning anomalies was supposed to feel like a full-blown scientific expedition. You were supposed to use real life probing devices to 'measure' anomaly and reveal something about it. The need to use multiple devices were supposed to promote team play and make scanning anomalies actual conscious decision - you were required to fill your inventory with multiple items (or spread items amongst team members) explicitly to go and scan anomaly. Done - return back. Turns out, “strategic” quickly turned into “clunky, annoying, and way too intrusive.” Not exactly the vibe we were going for. Thus we replaced multiple devices, that revealed 1\\3 of information about object with one singular 'DIY-punk' device that reveals 3\\3 part about object (but slower).Besides scanner you also may see in a video anomalies rework. Specifically, a brand new tutorial anomaly that…
