Dear survivors, v1.4.2 update drops today!
The game now supports the French and German languages.
We welcome our survivors from the EU to join our fight!

We like to once again thank our survivors for their feedback on Discord and Steam communities.
A Buff interface has now been added so that survivors are aware of their status easily.

We have also designed new chips and made some adjustments to the original chips. This opens up more possibilities for survivors to experiment with different builds.

In addition, we also moved some ability cards into the shop to balance the gameplay!
