Update 2.1.4 — Five Ways Out, and the Game Shows You Where You Are

Update 2.1.4 — Five Ways Out, and the Game Shows You Where You Are

A small update, 3 days before launch — three things you will notice at the terminal.

The game tells you where you stand


There are five ways out of the carcass — Dominion, Symbiosis, Awakening, Escape, Transcendence — and each one is now four named stages long. At any moment you can see how far along a path you are as a percentage, and the game names the exact step you are still missing: one more region under your control, or one piece of knowledge you have not researched yet. No more guessing which ending you are drifting toward.

The same start, three different games


Begin from the same seed and follow three different doctrines, and you will not play the same run twice. Only 37% of the events overlap; each doctrine turns up thirteen the other two never show you. After thirty pulses the biomass alone reads 974, 1,550 or 602. What you get out of the carcass depends on how you decide to live inside it, not on what you rolled.

Exit words work everywhere now


Typing back or cancel at a "how many?" prompt used to answer "Invalid" and ask the question again. It now means what it means everywhere else in the terminal: never mind.

3 days to launch


The Carcass releases on August 11 with a 20% launch discount.
