Sigma Theory is finally out of Early Access! The 1.0 update is available to download from Steam now! The current game has nothing in common with the one we've released 7 months ago. We've worked hard fixing bugs, improving feedbacks, adding content, fine-tuning mechanics and balancing gameplay with your feedback and support to come up with the best version of the game you get today! Making a game like this with so much novelty is not an easy task and we're grateful you've sticked up with us during the past months. Some of you hated the game, some of you loved the game. But we've listened to everyone because, at the end of the day, we're making games for the players, not for ourselves. The experience of developing the game with you along was enlightening for the whole team and it is something we'll do again for our next game *cough* Out There: Oceans of Time *cough*.

So, again, on behalf of the team: THANK YOU.

Development is not stopping as we're already working on the new playable country that will be available in the next update. **Full patchnote** ----1.0 ---- Content

STORY

From the creators of the award-winning sci-fi game Out There...

In the near future, a paradigm-shifting scientific discovery looms over the world, promising radical new technologies. The world’s superpowers realize they could have the power to destroy the global financial system, wipe out entire countries or even gain access to immortality.

However, this discovery — called “The Sigma Theory” — can only be harnessed by a handful of scientists. You are placed at the head of your country’s Sigma division. Your objective is to ensure that it is your nation that reaps the benefits of Sigma Theory before anyone else.

To achieve this you will have powerful resources at your disposal: a cadre of the world’s most elite covert agents, advanced tactical drones and, of course, your own skills in diplomacy and subterfuge.

It’s a cold war out there, one in which mankind must face up to its future.
