A Small Quality-of-Life Update

Gone Exploring · published 26 Aug 2026, 11:20 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We’ve made a few small improvements to Gone Exploring!

Octo can now scurry
The station is still meant to be explored slowly - but sometimes you already know exactly where you’re going.
Double-click a destination to make Octo scurry there a little faster.
Normal movement hasn’t gone anywhere, so you can still take your time poking around the station, carrying things you probably shouldn’t, and getting distracted along the way.

A little visual polish
We’ve also fixed and improved a few graphical details around the station.
Nothing dramatic - just a small round of polish to make exploring a little nicer.

Thanks to everyone who has played, left feedback, or told us what they liked 🐙💙
Gone Exploring is free to play, so if you haven’t visited the station yet, now is a good time to have a look around.
