All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This update focuses on bringing the world to life. We have implemented a deep new interaction system, filled existing areas with story content and puzzles, and significantly improved the technical foundation of the game.

📜 New: Advanced Interaction System

We have integrated a comprehensive system to uncover the secrets of the facility.

  • Audio Logs & Documents: You can now find and read books, notes, and listen to audio logs scattered across the world.

  • Discovery Menu: A new menu tab allows you to review all collected lore items and clues.

  • Interactive Objects: Added a functional Music Player and Safe Lockers (Puzzles) that require codes or keys to open.

  • Cinematic Support: Added support for in-game cinematic sequences to drive the narrative.

🛠️ Area Updates & Content

We have revisited several existing areas to populate them with story elements, and details. The following zones are now fully fleshed out:

  • Diner & Pool Area

  • Military Outpost

⚙️ Technical & Visual Improvements

  • Improved Collision Logic: Completely reworked character and enemy collision. Shooting is now precise, and movement interactions with dinosaurs are much smoother.

  • Animation Overhaul: Polished various animations for a more realistic look and feel.

  • Inventory UI: Added a real-time Ammo Counter directly inside the inventory screen.

  • New Loading Screen: Replaced the static screen with a new interface featuring a loading progress slider.
