Hey all! I've submitted the ERSATZ demo to Valve and this new update includes support for unlocking any achievements players would have unlocked in the full game whilst playing it.
I'm expecting to release the demo later this week with a competition for a chance to win a copy of the full game!
The rest of this update mostly concerns itself with fixes for Synth Rush. Enjoy!
