- Game major update (1.1.0) - 21 June 2026
Hey, For those who might be wondering, the game's development is still very active ! ...even though no updates have been released for a while. But this time, it's a BIG one! 1.1.0 is here! Disclaimer:As this patch is massive and rework a lot of systems, you may encounter some incoherent behaviors when playing on a previous save made before this release. An effort was put to minimize the risk... But if you happen to face this situation and really want to continue your playthrough with your existing save file, feel free to contact me on discord. Much of the development work concerns content outside of the demo. These elements will be mentioned without full detail and marked with an *. It's the occasion to have a look to the content being added to the final game. Patchnote:- New:Interactive elements: A lot of interactive elements were added in all the maps. Many of them are giving some sma…

- Skills mastery and balancing - 19 February 2026
Hey! Thanks a lot to the 50 players who tried the demo! I need your help with Skills Mastery.Skills Mastery was recently added, making skills stronger the more you use them. Early feedback has been very encouraging, and it seems players enjoy the system! It’s now a core part of player progression, alongside character levels, gear, etc. To better balance future fights and bosses (beyond the demo), I need to know:What ranks did your main skills reach by the end of the demo, like Heartshot, Fireball, etc?Did you enjoy the system? Did it make the game too easy? Was it well balanced?Your feedback is super important and will help make the full game even better. You can simply comment this post. And if you haven’t tried the demo yet, it’s available now and covers around 8 hours of gameplay! ːsteamhappyː Thanks in advance!

- Game update: Visual redesign - 29 December 2025
First of all, thank you everyone for playing this demo ! Early player feedback showed that the game introduction didn’t fully convey the atmosphere and story I wanted to set. In particular, the lack of an introduction cinematic and the very basic visuals of the first zone were often mentioned. Combined with early playtime data, it became clear that the opening needed more impact. It was time for a complete rework of the first zone! Patchnote: - New:Introduction cinematicFirst zone visual rework (next maps will follow)Animated decors (fire, flags, etc...) - Fixes and balancing:Trapshoot is now a 100% guaranteed hitTranquilizing shot is now a 100% guaranteed hitHeartshot is not a 100% guaranteed hit anymoreSome physical attacks were ignoring the physical taunt effect.
