NEW HOLIDAY UPDATE !

Hello explorers!

We’re happy to announce a brand-new holiday update, featuring a limited-time Christmas mini level available until January 10th.
Gather your friends, because this event is multiplayer-only and built for chaotic fun and competition!


LIMITED-TIME CHRISTMAS EVENT

A festive mini level where players compete to collect hidden gifts scattered across the map.

How it works:

  • Players must find and deliver gifts to the Christmas tree.

  • The first player to deliver 5 gifts wins the match.

  • Players can throw snowballs at each other to temporarily freeze opponents.

  • Beware of the Christmas Elf:

    • If it sees you, it will chase you until it kills you.

    • The only way to repel it is by shining your flashlight directly at it.

    • Be careful — elfs can also steal gifts from players when you least expect it.

This level is available for a limited time only and can only be played in multiplayer.

REWARDS

You can unlock up to 3 special limited-time rewards by winning the Christmas event!


FIXES & PROGRESSION IMPROVEMENTS

  • Fixed multiple Steam achievements that were not unlocking correctly.

  • Added progress stats for each main level, including:

    • Completion status (Easy / Normal / Hard)

    • Best completion time per level

  • Achievement requirements updated:

    • Easy Escape: Complete 5 main levels on Easy difficulty.

    • Normal Escape: Complete 5 main levels on Normal difficulty.

    • Hard Escape: Complete 5 main levels on Hard difficulty.

    • Speedrunner: Complete all 5 main levels with record times.

    • Top Survivor: Unlock Easy Escape, Normal Escape, and Hard Escape achievements.
