The Final Update for Dead Detention - Version 1.5 - will be released in two weeks on August 23rd! (This will be timed with another sale.) You can try the beta version early by selecting the beta branch from the build options!!
My main focus was to improve the Gamepad controls in the microgames, as well as add a final bit of visual polish. Version 1.5 also adds a new unlockable extra called "Microgame Marathon." This mode plays through all the microgames in order with shuffling backgrounds and songs!
You can check out the draft of the patch notes early here on the community forums.
I've also gone through early and updated the Steam page screenshots and trailer showing what the game looks like now after all five updates. 😊😊😊
Until then,
Jack
