MISERY

ANEURISM IV · published 24 Oct 2025, 00:00 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Are you ready to suffer like never before?

Because for the last few months, we've been suffering around the clock to bring you the biggest update since ANEURISM IV opened its gates in March. New jobs, new cosmetics, new weapons, and tons of major improvements make this the ANEURISM we dreamt of initially.

We sincerely hope you enjoy this update for all the usual reasons.

A NEW WORLD

So what exactly is Misery? Without going into too much detail, it's for you to find out. But we know how excited you must be to know just a little bit about your new workplace, so let's get acquainted with the basics.

Metalworks

Behold, the new metalworks. This time, with a convenient access to the mining hall. It's time to maximize productivity! Too crowded? No worries! You can always transfer over to the second metalworks. Glory to the Cortex for the marvellous infrastructure!

Soup Kitchen

What was once known as the Ration Factory is now the Soup Kitchen. It might not be actual soup that you'll be cooking here, but there is slop and you can become one of its ingredients if you really want to. If you don't, then we advise you watch your step...

Apartment Blocks

With 3 massive apartment blocks, the Consul has provided once more. As reward for your hard work, you'll now be able to upgrade your apartment with extra storage, very useful furniture, a workbench, and even a fresh rack of Capitron 3000s if you're kind enough to your local banker.

The Underground

Some will call this their new home. It's big, it's dangerous, and it's at least 2.5x more rotten than before. Citizens should not traverse these halls, as the environment will prove fatal to those who do not belong.

Weapons & Cosmetics

There's a lot of changes to go over. That's why the changelog is so bountiful. We know how much hard working proles enjoy their weapons and funny shirts, so here's what we've got in store.

Weapons

CTX Valta: A powerful assault rifle. Hot off the press from the Cortex Munitions Depot, the CTX Valta has been deployed for field work assigned to high-ranking Cortex personnel.

Cosmetics

Nothing would be complete without cool new cosmetics. Here they are.
