Final content update before the Early Access release is here! So we're calling on all our Alpha testers, don't go easy on this one! From now on we'll be only polishing and fixing the current features. New content update will come after the launch. For optimal results with this update, we recommend starting a new game instead of using old saves. Here are few of the features with some visuals followed by a complete list of all the changes.
