  • ENCASED — PATCH 3 HOTFIX 2: Critical bugs, cosmetic fixes and more - 6 May 2022

    Patch 3 saw the introduction of a large crashed transport plane event, gamepad support and a completely overhauled in-game vehicle system. We fixed some of the remaining bugs in Hotfix 1; only the most significant edits remained, which took us almost 2 months to implement. Hotfix 2 - released today - includes fixes for critical bugs, localization fixes and several UI improvements. Critical Bugs Fixed an issue where some vignettes would ‘break’ the game when a player tried to go back to previous slides Fixed the dialogue logic with Audrey (after the Parasites quest); if the anomalous essence was stolen and the player tried to receive a reward, the dialogue would freeze Fixed incorrect loading of the Fops Camp location, when one of the inhabitants of the camp occupied the spawn point of the player's car Fixed the display for Atilla in characters’ hands and in the inventory menu Fixed a bu…

  • ENCASED - PATCH 3, HOTFIX 1: Gamepad tweaks, critical bug fixes and cosmetics - 24 February 2022

    The last patch was a real test for the team – we’ve added gamepad support, new content, expanded on car mechanics, and added a Linux version. And, of course, bug fixes. In today's hotfix, we've addressed a few bugs that have been discovered, and also made some cosmetic changes to the game regarding sound and level design. The list of fixes and improvements is provided below. Critical errors Fixed infinite start of the battle on the Desert Road location Fixed inability to initiate dialogue with the air duct on the -1 floor of the C12-Nashville facility Fixed non-working scissor lift at Magellan Station - Residential Level Gamepads Fixed an issue related to interacting with items on the belt when near interactive location objects The character that was controlled by the player earlier stops running in the indicated direction when choosing another character Fixed problems with selecting th…

  • ENCASED - PATCH 3: CARS, A PLANE IN DESERT AND GAMEPAD SUPPORT - 10 February 2022

    The full version of Encased was released in September and we’ve since introduced several hotfixes - and a couple of major patches - where we thoroughly worked on the UI, optimisation, level design and other aspects of the game. But all of this (with the exception of the special Halloween patch) was related to the content that was already in the game. That's great, but how about something new? Such as what we promised during our kickstarter campaign. With this in mind, we started developing Patch 3. Today we are happy to present it to you and let you know what awaits you in the first (but not last!) large-scale Encased update. A new adventure and cars Before the Spire Station was built, cargo was delivered under the Dome by aircraft. One such aircraft - a decommissioned military transport callsigned Eldorado - made a hard landing in a mountainous area and was abandoned. A few years later…

  • CRONUS Weekly 2022 - 14 January 2022

    Hello, we hope that you’ve had a fantastic New Year and are all set to venture under the Dome in the company of your faithful companions. Today's issue will be short but very important. Development update We know we promised the patch in late December but unfortunately - due to technical reasons - we had to postpone the release until January. But this month we will definitely have new content waiting for you. The extra time of development allowed us to polish new locations and mechanics, as well as fix some bugs. Can't wait to see what new content is waiting for you under the Dome? Then visit our Youtube channel. The latest episode of the development diaries is waiting for your viewers. New locations and completely redesigned cars One of the main changes of the patch will be the new locations; the Fallen Fortress and the Mysterious Caves. Here you will find new enemies, equipment, treas…

    Dear subscribers! The latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is, once more, on your screen. Can anyone hear us? Today we’ll talk about the near-future of Encased. December Update Employees, winter has arrived. It won't be long before we start preparing for the holidays and most people go on a well-deserved vacation. And to make sure you don't get bored during the break,we'll be releasing another Encased update this year! We'll tell you more later, but you can expect new locations, enemies, battles, gear and more. We really hope you enjoy it :) Gamepad Support We've been actively working on full PC gamepad support for the past few months and we're happy to announce that your wait will be over in December. We have adapted the interface and hotkeys for each panel and will also try to add a special mode with larger font and text contrast. By the way, if you played on a gamepad i…

  • ENCASED - Hotfix 4: End of the Halloween event, minor fixes. What's next? - 9 November 2021

    It's been two months since Encased was released. During this time, we have significantly improved stability, added more reputation events, fixed many bugs and typos. We have also published a roadmap for the game’s further development. By New Year, another patch will be released containing special events for vehicles (including Ursula), balance tweaks and a number of "quality of life" changes. As for today's hotfix, we’ve added a small number of fixes and disabled the Halloween event. Keep in mind that the merchant named Sylvia Halen will be staying in the City and will continue to give rewards in exchange for Cursed Seeds, but the pumpkin-headed skeletons will disappear from the game until next year. As for the edits made to the game, here is the list: Fixed necroids generating a stupefying ‘field of death’ Fixed Church reputation decrease after the death of Victoria Legrand Fixed infin…

  • A new development update and the beginning of Halloween under the Dome! - 29 October 2021

    Dear subscribers! The latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is once again on your screens. Can anyone hear us? Today we're going to talk about how the inhabitants of the world under the Dome got their own voices and remind you about the Halloween discounts. Development update #15: Voices under the Dome The first post-release development update is dedicated to voice acting.

  • ENCASED — Patch 2: a number of bugfixes and the Horrors of the Dome - 28 October 2021

    This October turned out very stressful – as we finished work on the latest patch and sat back to relax, a new one was on its way. This time we fixed many bugs and added a special event in honor of All Saints’ Day: the Barrens are now overrun with pumpkin-headed skeletons, and a special merchant was sighted in the City. But, first things first. Special Event Sylvia Halen, a promising scientist from the mysterious White Swan station, is on the hunt for the Cursed Seeds – the little-studied relics that can be obtained from the bodies of dead employees. Sylvia does not skimp on rewards: in addition to various chemicals, she will offer the player a unique artifact. The following awaits you in the Halloween event: — Temporary redesign of old enemies (Skeletons), — A new relic, — Festive decor at various locations, — A new piece of equipment – Pumpkin Helmet, which can be upgraded. Make haste,…

  • Halloween under the Dome! - 22 October 2021

    Employees: the Dome is once again in danger and it is far more terrifying than any anomaly. On 28 October, the dead will rise from their graves and hunt the living. Fight the undead and gain cursed seeds for your victories. You can exchange these for a valuable artifact or useful equipment from a new merchant. Survivors will receive a unique pumpkin helmet; it can be upgraded up to three levels, using the seeds of the dead and other resources. To get some of the valuable prizes, you will have to meet the Halloween Merchant who is waiting for you in the heart of New Committee City. She sells not only the usual first aid kits and anti-radiation drugs, but also a new valuable artifact available for purchase only in exchange for cursed seeds. By the way, the merchant will remain in the world under the Dome even after the Halloween event ends, so if you forget to sell the seeds before the en…

In December you can expect new random encounters on Ursula, as well as new content that’ll bring even…

  • ENCASED — PATCH 1 - 14 October 2021

    Version number: 1.1.1013.1238 As you probably already noticed, the work on Patch 1 took a little delay, but there are objective reasons for this – there really are a lot of changes and improvements. In addition to fixing the voiceover, incorrect descriptions, bugs and typos, we focused on improving the user experience: a lot of changes were made to the game interface, balance, mechanics and, of course, optimizations – now the game runs faster and a little more stable.

And above all, thank you for staying with us – it matters a lot to us. Warning: fix descriptions may contain plot spoilers! Localization and Voiceover Fixed the…
