ODDCORE - Early Access 0.1 | Foundation Update

Greetings Runners!

Thank you all for the amazing launch! We’re just a couple of folks trying to make a game where you can zoom out and shoot things for fun, and we never expected to have over 13,000 Runners enjoying it the same way we do. Since then, we’ve received tons of feedback from the community and are working hard to make it happen.

This update adds new content along with bug fixes and QoL improvements. We also added more languages so runners can experience ODDCORE in their home language. If you don’t see your language supported on the Steam page, please reach out. We’re always looking for help with localization.

One more thing! Some of y’all may have already noticed that ODDCORE is now officially Steam Deck Verified, meaning you can bring your ODDMAN and curse around the ODDCORE anytime, anywhere.

Aight, I’ll stop talking and show you the changes.
