Clerks of the Dark Magic Federation, thank you for a fantastic launch! I have been thrilled reading your feedback and watching you frantically stamp, smudge, and process your way through the occult bureaucracy.
Today, we are incredibly excited to release Version 1.1: The "After Hours" Update.It’s rare for a game to introduce an entirely new layer of gameplay after its 1.0 launch, but I wanted to give back to our amazing community. Whether you've already survived your 26-day contract or you're just starting your career at the DMF, there is a massive amount of new content waiting for you.
Your shift no longer just ends at the desk! We’ve added a fully playable Subway sequence after your work day. Take the train home, enjoy the scrolling parallax cityscape, and engage in brand-new narrative choices that will test your morality (and your wallet).
During your commute, you'll cross paths with Silas—a brand-new character with his own unique micro-storyline. Silas will send you special letters first thing in the morning outlining his illicit demands. Follow his directions, bend the rules, and unlock new outcomes. Your choices have new consequences.
The city is now more immersive than ever. We've added several new features to flesh out the world:
Better Rainstorm Ambiance: A dynamic, roaring rainstorm that properly overtakes the city ambience when the weather turns foul.
Train Sound Effects: Immersive audio to accompany your new commute on the subway.
Pop-up Sound Effects: Crisp new sound effects when interacting with the end-of-shift pop-up system.
We've been listening to your feedback and made major quality-of-life improvements:
Quota & Rent Overhaul: We've completely rebuilt the end-of-shift popup system. Notifications for meeting your daily quota and rent increases now queue up smoothly, ensuring you never miss a reward or a warning.
Fairer Fines: Addressed minor bugs related to the rent system balancing, making the difficulty curve much smoother.
If you enjoyed your first playthrough, or if you felt like you just wanted a little bit more from your time at the DMF, now is the perfect time to come back for another round.The "After Hours" Update is completely free and live right now. Clock in, keep your head down, and try not to get terminated.— The Dark Magic Federation Human Resources Dept. (AKA Nolyn)
