REMASTER DEMO VERSION 2 | UPDATE 1.4.7

If you enjoy the game, consider leaving a review! It helps a lot!

Story Remaster

The Story Remaster version 2 brings tons of improvements based on player feedback. Thank you for answering the survey after completing the demo, it truly does help!

The new demo has player choice at its core, and now allows the rescue segment to be completed with both stealth and action strategies. Both the rescue and arrest segments now encourage player exploration and allows weapons to be used from the very start, if you so choose to do so. Some of the dialog has also been looked at, to better emphasize a consistent tone. Thus, a lot of the more silly dialog has been dialed down and replaced with more appropriate dialog. Logan's narrations has also been tweaked in some places to feel less edgy. I am still looking for feedback on this, so feel free to answer the survey after completing the demo.

Remaster Demo changelog:

• Redesigned several parts of the Remaster Demo to support both stealth and action strategies

• Improved dialog in the Story Remaster

• Added ability to punch civilians in the Story Remaster (experimental)

• Greatly improved the Arrest segment of the Story Remaster

• Fixed a few bugs in the Story Remaster

Update 1.4.7

Along with the Remaster Demo improvements, this update also includes many improvements for overall gameplay. Combat game feel has been improved with better visual effects, and a long-standing bug fixed that prevented headshots from registring if hitting an enemy's shoulder first. This meant that headshots were impossible when flanking an enemy. I have also made some difficulty tweaks for larger shootouts.

I hope you enjoy the new update!
