• 10 Year Anniversary Patch is LIVE! - 12 May 2026

  It's here...it's done. Finally after working on this update on and off for 10 years, it's in a state I can finally say it's finished. Ever since we released it I had wanted to do a 'director's cut' of the game. Stuff I felt could be better. Every couple of years I would manically work on it for a couple months. Updating, tinkering, optimizing. I thought this patch would have come out a LONG time ago. Then realizing it was almost 10 years...it felt like the perfect time. If you played the game when it came out or are experiencing for the first time, I'd love to hear your thoughts! This game is near and dear to my heart. Still incredibly proud of we did all those years ago.

• Patch 1.03 is live! - 26 July 2016

  Official controller patch is here! Took a lot longer than we planned but we added a bunch of other menu content as well! We should note that it only officially supports a 360/Xbox One controller on PC. Mac / Linux / other controller hardware will come in the near future. MAJOR FEATURES: Controller support - Switch between Keyboard and Mouse mode to Controller mode! - The game works slightly differently in Controller mode. Instead of mousing over people or items you want to interact with, simply move near them and press the Examine button (B on an Xbox controller). - To combine or use items from your inventory, select the desired item, then close the inventory and press the Use button on an object in the world (A on an Xbox controller). You can combine two items in the inventory by selecting one item, then another. New graphical options - We have done away with the launcher that asked yo…
