Bug fixes · Reverted the change in the last build where Lux put away the rifle and shotgun while jogging. What a disaster. 🙈 Apologies, I should’ve tested it more before rolling it out. · When tutorial windows were displayed, they paused the game. If another operation was started just before the tutorial window appeared, this could freeze the game. Fixed via the simplest method possible: the t…
Please keep the feedback coming! I also have a favour to ask: if you’re enjoying the demo, please consider leaving a review on the Steam demo page (a couple of words is enough). It really helps with the algorithm. :) Performance · Saved roughly 1.5GB of VRAM in each level by optimising textures and modifying camera activation and render targets. This should help everyone, but especially players…
There are a lot of changes in this build - hopefully I haven't broken anything! I've tried to address a lot of the issues that you guys have reported. Still tons to do but I'm working through it.

Fixed. · Ammo was being wasted when reloading: the remainder of t…
If Lux has a gun equipped, she now automatically puts it away if you select a DNA attack. It worked this way before build 260524, I accidentally broke it in the update yesterday.
New features · DNA attacks: The enemy being targeted is now highlighted in its weakness colour. To use a DNA attack now, select the target with Aim and press Fire. You can now also see the selected DNA attack in the HUD (lower left of screen): an arrow points to the current DNA attack, and the colours of the icons match the enemy weakness. For example, the Smite icon is orange, so if an enemy i…
Improvements, changes and new stuff · It’s now much easier for Lux to escape if she’s cornered, and Dash can push through groups of enemies · Improved the flashlight.
