This is what was wrong, what is fixed, and what I am working on now. The store page and the AI disclosure The description called the events "hand-written". That word is gone. It should never have been there, because the disclosure on the same page says the text was dr… | — | |
| Community | Update 2.1.5 — Fourteen Complaints, Fourteen Answers Update 2.1.5 — Fourteen Complaints, Fourteen Answers Two days before launch, the last big update. We went back through every criticism the game has received, put all fourteen on one page, and gave each one either a fix or a number. Your choice stays on the screen The most common complaint was also the worst one: you would make a decision and never see what it did. A queued command was firing in… | — | |
| Community | Update 2.1.4 — Five Ways Out, and the Game Shows You Where You Are Update 2.1.4 — Five Ways Out, and the Game Shows You Where You Are A small update, 3 days before launch — three things you will notice at the terminal. The game tells you where you stand There are five ways out of the carcass — Dominion, Symbiosis, Awakening, Escape, Transcendence — and each one is now four named stages long.

Those endings are not flavour text. Each one leaves behind a mechanical consequence that… | — | |

| Community | Version 2.1.0: 30 Days of Work, 7 Days to Launch Version 2.1.0: 30 Days of Work, 7 Days to Launch The Carcass: Echoes of Rot launches on August 11. Seven days remain. I moved the release date because the version people played did not explain itself clearly enough. Choices seemed to disappear, the first hour could feel like a wall of prose, and several systems hid rules the game already knew. Over the past month I focused on how the game feels… | — | |
