EARLY ACCESS MAJOR UPDATE

A New Beginning for Keep It Contained

First of all, we'd like to sincerely apologize for the delay.

We ended up missing our original estimated release window by more than we expected due to several unforeseen challenges during development. Rather than rushing the game out, we decided to spend the extra time improving the overall experience and making sure the Early Access version truly represents the direction we want Keep It Contained to take.

Today, we're finally happy to say that we're confident in what we're releasing.

This is only the beginning, and we couldn't be more excited to continue building the game together with all of you.

🎥 Complete Camera System Overhaul

One of the biggest changes in this update is the complete redesign of the camera system.

The old click-to-turn movement has been entirely removed and replaced with a full Free Look Camera, allowing players to freely look around and interact with the environment much more naturally.

This change significantly improves immersion, movement, and the overall gameplay experience.

🏢 Visual Improvements

The laboratory has received a major visual overhaul.

Many environments have been rebuilt and refined with improved lighting, updated assets, and a more immersive atmosphere to better match the vision of Keep It Contained.

This is only the first step, and we'll continue improving existing environments throughout Early Access.

🛠️ Custom Level Creator

We've also added a brand-new Custom Level feature.

You can now create and play your own custom levels by choosing which Modules, Anomalies, and Distortions you want to include.

This gives you much more freedom to create your own challenges and experiment with different combinations of gameplay elements.

We're excited to see what kinds of challenges the community creates with this new system.

🏆 Steam Achievements Added

Steam Achievements are now available!

Players can now unlock achievements while progressing through the game, with even more achievements planned for future updates.

🌍 Localization Improvements

We've reviewed and improved many of the in-game translations across all supported languages.

We're continuing to refine localization and appreciate any reports regarding translation issues or incorrect wording.

👁️ Two New Anomalies

The facility has become even less predictable.

Two brand-new anomalies are about to be added:

  • Stairs

  • Rock

Keep your eyes open...

⚙️ Module & Distortion Improvements

Several gameplay modules have been refined and adjusted, alongside balance improvements to the Distortion system.

These changes are designed to create a smoother gameplay flow while keeping encounters unpredictable and engaging.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements

We've fixed a variety of bugs and technical issues reported during development and testing.

Overall stability and reliability have been improved to provide a smoother experience throughout the game.

🔬 The Road Ahead

Early Access is only the beginning.

Starting now, our goal is to release one new Anomaly, one new Module, and one new Distortion every month, while continuously improving the existing content, environments, models, and overall quality of the game.

We want Keep It Contained to grow alongside its community.
