Welcome to Brutal Zlim’s casino, where the only sure bet is mayhem.
One casino. One boss. One survivor. Time to deal with Brutal Zlim himself.
2 New Story Levels: Level 14: All Or Nothing and Level 15: The Winner Takes It All.
Added a new weapon: Railgun.
Added 2 new achievements.
Game settings have been moved to a separate file. This was done to fix an issue where some players’ settings would reset.
Fixed lighting bleed-through problems through doors on all levels.
All doorways in the game have been improved - now there should no longer be situations where one half of a double door appears open while the other does not.
Weapons are now sorted when picked up (when selecting the melee slot, the knife will now always be chosen before the fists).
Fixed translation of some subtitles.
Card readers no longer have overexposed lighting.
Fixed UI graphics when picking up items - item frames no longer overlap.
Fixed the assault rifle icon when picking it up (previously it showed the old rifle icon).

Achievements in the achievements menu are now sorted better.
Level 3
Slight geometry change in the room with the Mining Rigs.

Level 6
Concrete blocks on the roads have been slightly raised so they no longer visually cut into the curbs.
Disabled LOD for trees around the boss area.
