Launch week update: the Watcher, the ringing floor, and a night-shift UI

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Thank you to everyone who took the shift this week. Five updates landed between launch day and today; all of it is live in the default build.

[h2]New things on the floor[/h2]

[list]

[*][b]The Watcher.[/b] A figure standing with his back turned, somewhere on the floor. Look away and he is gone. Look back at where he stood and the lights go out. Walk up to him and the signal breaks. He never chases; he does not need to.

[*][b]The ringing phone.[/b] When a desk phone rings that should not, the floor reacts: the lit elevator shuts, every light dies except the one above the phone, and picking up gets you a line that was never meant for you.

[*][b]Creep.[/b] Something on a shelf is exactly where it belongs when you arrive, and a hand's width away by the time you walk past again.

[*][b]Four scripted scenes[/b] tied to places on the floor: footsteps that answer yours in the back corridor, a meeting room that locks, a light that follows, a door that slams.

[*][b]Text anomalies rebuilt[/b] — the wrong words are now printed on the paper, not stuck on it.

[/list]

[h2]Interface[/h2]

[list]

[*][b]Night Shift skin[/b] across every screen: monospaced type, phosphor accents, scanlines — the office terminal, not a generic menu.

[*][b]First-shift board[/b]: three picture cards on your first floor so the controls and the two elevators are clear without a tutorial level.

[*]The ending screen now shows endings seen and anomalies spotted.

[*][b]Report a bug[/b] in the corner of the main menu, straight to the community hub.

[/list]

[h2]Achievements[/h2]

Anomaly Almanac now counts 16 kinds. New: [i]Don't Turn Around[/i], [i]It Was Not There a Minute Ago[/i], [i]Wrong Number[/i], [i]Too Close[/i], plus one for each scripted scene.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

[list]

[*]Chat no longer crashes on open in some configurations.

[*]The lit elevator stays lit through every blackout.

[*]Hanging up actually cuts Dragojlo off.

[/list]

If something is wrong on your floor, the Report a bug button in the main menu goes to the discussions — we read all of it.
