NEW UPDATE! THE DEAD HAVE BEEN BUSY! And they have unionised...

🧟 The Temporal Apocalypse: Patch Notes
Welcome back, time-traveling survivors. The timeline is still bleeding, and the undead are still hungry.
🩸 The Gory Details (Gameplay & Enemies)
Undead Gossip (Ambient System Update): Zombies are chatty now. If you piss one off, their groans will now trigger nearby undead to join the feast. Brace yourself for a terrifying chain reaction of teeth.
Bloated Warning Signs: Exploding zombies (our affectionate "boomers") will now clearly telegraph when they are about to pop. You now have exactly zero excuses for getting covered in corrosive viscera. Run.
Embrace the Inevitable: We’ve entirely overhauled the death flow for a far more cinematic demise. Try not to die too much, but enjoy the show when you do.
Vital Signs & Possession: Scenarios now kick off with a creepy animation showing your meat-suit being possessed. We've also added a new stat screen and ability cards so you can track your progress as you level up.
Subterranean Ambushes: Burrowers have been balanced. Combined with our new cluster spawning system, searching for objectives will now trigger cozy, terrifying group ambushes.
The Horde 2.0: We’ve completely revamped the horde gameplay objective. Surviving a relentless tidal wave of rotting flesh has never felt so fresh.
👁️ Sights, Sounds & Appendages
Factory Floor Beats: The abandoned Industrial Estate level finally has its own haunting soundtrack. Perfect lo-fi beats to get disembowelled to.
All the Better to Grab You With: Both humans and zombies have received custom hands.
Fresh Flesh Grafts: All relevant characters have been re-cloned and generated to include our shiny new graphical assets so everyone looks drop-dead gorgeous.
🔧 Under the Hood (Fixes & Tweaks)
Immovable Objects: Rooted zombies have been hitting the gym and can no longer be pushed around.
Peripheral Paranoia: Fixed rendering for widescreen monitors so you can watch the undead flank you in ultrawide, alongside various non-gameplay menu bug fixes.
Temporal Tweaks: Smoothed out gameplay geometry so you won't trip over invisible polygons while screaming down hallways, and adjusted level-up weightings for better mid-apocalypse power spikes.
If you've stumbled here by accident, wondering what the hell you've just read but are very much intrigued.
