With two new level exits, I’ve removed a common dead end in Level 2 ’s navigation. There’s now a new exit from Level 2 → Level 188, and another from Level 188 → Level 1. This should make it easier to move through the main levels and prevent players from accidentally missing core content.

I’ve also improved feedback when interacting with next-level doors.

I wasn’t able to include the accessibility features mentioned in the last patch. I’ll try to include them in the next update, right now I’m working through a long list of fixes, prioritizing the most impactful changes first.

Full patch notes:

  • Added new level exits:

    • Level 2 -> Level 188

    • Level 188 -> Level 1

  • Added journal completion progress bars

  • Changed a bit the dev statement on Level 3 entrance

  • Lowered slightly entity chase extrapolation time (time the entity still follows you after it lost line of sight on a chase)

  • Improved next level doors hover text feedback and even warning on backtracking, also hold to interact for next level doors.

  • Improved feedback on loading multiple keys at once on locked doors

  • Fixed issue where clients where not counting for objective update

  • Improved player collision physics on multiplayer
