Absorber Demo Update 1.2.1

The focus was simple: make every run clearer, fairer, and more satisfying. Nothing new added past Sector 5 just everything that’s there, working better.

Firewall Finale Still the gatekeeper it should be, but no longer a stamina tax. 10 shield, 10 core. Tough. Fair. Final.

Identity System, Actually Explained Sources, vulnerabilities, scaling, durations, effects the whole board now makes sense. Choice and rejection screens tell you exactly what you’re keeping and what you’re leaving behind.

Recycling That Doesn’t Punish You Cleaner selection, confirmation checks, refund previews, loyalty bonuses, and real explanations when something’s blocked. You can’t accidentally burn resources anymore.

Combat You Can Read Passives now stick to the HUD and pulse when they fire. Icons actually match. Abilities have their own activation sounds.

Bestiary / Codex Met an enemy? It’s logged. Stats and behavior included.

UI & Presentation Menu hover feedback, tighter run summaries, identity indicators, plus a pile of localization and layout fixes.

What’s Demo Only Sectors 1–5, ending at Firewall. Ascension, daily challenges, the deeper miniboss pool, special sectors, and full progression unlock at launch.

Your feedback is what steers this. Thanks for playing.
