It's a pretty unrestricted piece of the game. You can quest, adventure and explore three regions o…

Time only moves when you do. That's the principal behind super cool game Superhot . Vlad 'YellowAfterlife' wrote a little mod that puts that same principle into Unexplored.

It took a while, but now our hero has a voice! The 1.18 update includes six character voices (optional) and facial expressions for our one-eyed dungeon raider. We really feel the voices add a lot of personality. You won't have to listen to entire lines of dialogue, but you will hear vocal outings of the hero's emotional state. Also: we've boosted the speed of the cyclic dungeon generator signif…

In fact, all character classes start with an extra boost to help deal with the hordes that populate…
