Hey, didn't you know? We will be participating in this month's Steam Game Festival, and to celebrate it, we prepared a somewhat special update for the already-existing demo! ...And since I, Nickolai Filipanov, couldn't wait any longer... generously giving to YOU a day early!
(do not worry, the update will later be available on other PC marketplaces sometime later after the Festival ends, with potential Android version optimization to follow.)

MAJOR CHANGES
- Nathan "MNP" Philips has gotten a minor sprite update, now featuring a scarf!
- The Main Menu background has also gotten a nice little makeover!
- Sector 1 Ending is fully accessible now!
- The First-Time Setup Screen has been re-added, although it's a bit rough. (PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF NAVIGATION IS CONFUSING)
- Oh yeah, and the Steam demo has gotten a fix for the embarrassing framerate issue.
MINOR CHANGES
- The Crate Guy in the first sector should no longer appear on the left side of the Janitor's Save Room.
- Gamepad Cursor has a black outline now (since it was difficult seeing it on more whiter surfaces) and it has a "Click" feedback sprite aswell.
- The settings menu shouldn't be going nuts as it did last time in a few strange case scenarios
- Updated a missing Russian dialogue text string in one of Detin's lines.
- The Status Effects' functionality have been improved. You may not wanna get that splinter now, since there's now a slim chance to slowly bleed out.
- Most of the in-game menus now support gamepads' Direction Pad input... I don't know why I didn't include that in the first place.
- Speaking of menus, the Bag menu kind of can detect mouse input...?
ADDITIONS
- The Intro, the Bunker Zone are now available!
- The Staircase Door functions, and you can actually save your progress, finally. (Progress saved in the demo will carry over to the premium Windows builds!)
- There are now collectibles and some secrets in the Warehouse you may not wanna miss out on.
- Door Interaction Text and Audio Cues have been added now.
- Time Attack Game Mode is available for preview now! (only the Warehouse Area is available at the start.)
- For whatever reason, the Steam demo just now supports Steam Input configurations. These can be turned off in the "General" properties. Just set the "Steam Input Per-Game Setting" to "Forced Off" if you prefer using the game's built-in native input support for some gamepads.
I really hope you'll enjoy this special lil' treat from me! Oh, and one more thing! Stramedia has it's own
Discord server now, so, feel free to join and bring us reports of any bugs or other issues you may stumble upon!
9/OCT/2020 UPDATE - HEY FELLAS, SO, AS IT TURNS OUT, I FORGOT TO LOCALIZE THE SETUP SCREEN INTO RUSSIAN LOL SORRY MY BAD, IT SHOULD BE FIXED NOW
Until then, have a good day, stay safe and don't forget to put your masks on!
Toodles!
