Right click on the game in your library and go to "Properties."
On the "betas" tab, click on the beta-test option. The new version of the game should automatically download. If it doesn't, restarting Steam should do it.
The delivery will appear on the order computer after youve taken [spoiler]the Lion eyeball in the testing room with Jan and Clarice (In Caetanos upstairs apartment).[/spoiler] What else is in this additional content? A detailed breakdown: [spoiler] - New music is played when making Gareon's pizza order. - A new delivery sequence in a new building, featuring Gareon the Photographer, Mildred the Assistant, a guard named Woolsey, Big Mo and two other guards. - Several new observable books - Two new film filters. One can be found on the second floor of Building 26, the second is given to you as a reward for finishing the delivery. - An alteration to the tableau behind Caetanos Stage that shows Gareon taking a picture of the Grand Opening of Caetanos restaurant. - The cost of the skull horn has been raised by 60 dollars (to $605), to account for the fact that Gareon gives you 60 dollars as a reward for the pizza. - Gareon appears where Clem was sitting (by the charcoal picture of the factory) after youve acquired the horn, to foreshadow further explorations into Building 9 (Volume 2). - Mildred, a robot introduced in this content expansion, appears alongside Jan and Clarice in the final reveal in the vault after youve retrieved the saxophone. - The final dialog with the woman and her father on the train has been expanded to more clearly bookend the arc of the experience, while setting the stage for volume 2. - Theres a final title screen after you fade to white. - Three new achievements are now available: If you talk to Gareon and learn about Jo Troy. If you talk to Mildred and learn about Auntie. If you talk to the three guards and learn about why Woolsey can't pass an audition. These three new achievements are public, hinted at on Steam, and simply activate through accessing the dialog relevant to them. [/spoiler] How do I report a bug?

Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1 is set in the same universe as both The Norwood Suite and Off-Peak, Cosmo D’s previous games.
It’s a hazy Sunday morning on the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street. Caetano Grosso, a former saxophone player and longtime pizza-maker, is just getting his pizza oven warmed up. Orders are trickling in, and he needs someone to help with the deliveries. You sense an opportunity, but unbeknownst to him, what you’re really after is his old saxophone, and you’re going to get it one way or another. Your pursuit will set off a chain of events across the neighborhood, taking you deep into the hidden worlds and private lives of the people living there.
Tales From Off-Peak City is a first-person adventure game series, all set on, around, and under a single street corner. Filled with memorable characters and the spaces they inhabit, the game provides an open-ended world full of secrets and hidden agendas. Building on the gameplay foundations of Off-Peak and The Norwood Suite, players will explore the streets and its surroundings, make pizzas, take photos, push buttons, open drawers they’re not supposed to, and lose themselves inside the atmospheric musical score that integrates itself directly into the game world.
Volume 1: Caetano’s Slice is the first game of many in the anthology of Tales. While each ‘Volume’ is its own self-contained story and experience, taken together, they build towards the larger over-arching narrative of what’s really going on at the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street and what role you ultimately play in its fate.
