The biggest addition to the demo is the inclusion of our first big Tax-Force Boss; 0TT0

0TT0 was a piece of early Drill-It mining equipment, abandoned and forgotten early on, lying dormant deep below the surface, listening to the silent vibrations running along its sensors. Learning secrets people would rather have left buried.

The Target youre searching for has cut a deal with it for protection, you have to get past 0TT0 to reach negotiations.

Keeping with the theme of the game, 0TT0s environmental hazards will change depending on your economic choices.

Our playtesters have found 0TT0 quite the challenge (except for one tester, who beat the machine on the first attempt!). Comment below to let us know if you managed to beat the robot.

Nzinga Winga brings Maximum Heat to Farset, offering a bunch of Mods and Specials in the form of mutant abilities, with 3 different Specials available to try out in the demo; Astral Projection, Optical Blasts and Quickshiver

With the state of Farset 13s current economy, Maximum Heat is constantly getting robbed by bandits and gangs - investing in Public Security will offer more choice in every visit, or invest in Private Defence contracts to increase the quality of the limited gear.
