ATTENTION, PATIENTS!

🗓️ BIG NEWS: EARLY ACCESS DATE!

Our medical staff has made a decision: on November 20th, we're officially opening the clinic doors to everyone in Early Access!

Also, something interesting happened: while you were running through the corridors, over 50,000 people have already tried the demo, and 25,000 of them have added the game to their Wishlist! Thank you for your interest in our humble establishment!

Now down to business. We've released the third major update for the S.E.M.I. - Side Effects May Include... demo. Inside you'll find new content, mechanics, and numerous improvements.

📢 MAJOR CHANGES AND NEW FEATURES

  1. Weapon Throwing. Go crazy not just from the environment, but from new features! Pick up a weapon with the E key, hold LMB to charge your throw, and release to send your "argument" flying. You can hit both enemies and other patients - on your conscience.

  2. Weapon Durability. No more endlessly whacking people with cucumbers. Weapons now can break from overuse. Take care of them!

  3. Upgraded Guard. Our staff member has completed training courses. He's now much more dangerous and can send you flying with one hit. Don't provoke him!

  4. Voice Chat (Push-to-talk). Finally coordinate your escape or just scream into the microphone by holding the assigned key.

  5. Korean Language Support. Our clinic is reaching a new international level!

🔧 IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES

  1. Fixed the most common network bugs (huge thanks for your bug reports!).

  2. Added new skins for variety.

  3. Improved game interface - going crazy has become more convenient.

  4. Enhanced environments in some rooms.

  5. Fixed an annoying bug that allowed escaping the map using one of the abilities.

  6. Added new sounds and visual effects for complete immersion.

  7. Running animations look more natural (as much as possible in our case).

  8. Rebalanced weapon and ability damage.

  9. Fixed other minor bugs that hindered therapy enjoyment.

The updated demo is waiting for you!Add the game to your Steam wishlist so you don't miss the launch!Found a bug, have a brilliant idea, or just want to share impressions? You're welcome to our Steam forums or Discord community! Your feedback is the best medicine for our project.
