ODDCORE - Early Access 0.4 | UNSTABLE HORDE Update

Greetings, Runner!

It's Timmee again! Hope you've been enjoying the last Resort update and all the new possibilities that came with the save system. But enough of that—we've got something exciting to announce!

That's right: the Entity & Boss Update is here!

Lots of y'all asked for it, and now you've got it! We've got a new Boss Pool packed with New Bosses; multiple boss levels to spice things up a little; a New Entity, plus some "makeup" for the existing Entities. Not only that — this update also brings new lore maps and mysterious cassettes just waiting for you to explore, along with tons of QoL updates and balancing. Here's the sneak peek for those who haven't saw it yet

↓ Entities concept before they flooded the ODDCORE this update...

With so many upgrades to Entities and bosses, ODDCORE is getting a fresh start. The leaderboard will be reset, so it's time to jump back in and fight for the top spot!

And hey — if any of you (you are a legend if you don’t have ODDCORE but are still reading this) or your friends haven't stepped into ODDCORE yet, there's going to be a 20% discount to celebrate this update! We'll also be adjusting the price to $12.99, starting from July 11 — so grab this opportunity and drag your friends into ODDCORE while you can!

Upcoming Price Adjustment

Since we launched back in January, ODDCORE has come a long way — and that's thanks to y'all. Across previous updates we've added new mods, new maps, and new mechanics — with more to come in our fourth major update. The game today is a long way from where it started, and the price has held the same the whole time.

To reflect everything that's been added, we'll be adjusting the price to $12.99 on July 11, 2026.

A couple of important things:

• If you already own ODDCORE, nothing changes for you. This only affects new purchases from July 11 onward.

• If you've got friends on the fence, there's still about a month to grab it at the current price.

What’s coming for 0.5?

That could be anything, there’s few ideas already spinning in my mind while writing:

• New place to discover like Potato Room, as we’ve got lots of feedback from y’all saying it’s hard to find potato)

• New game mechanics maybe? Like a Slot machine that can Yolo all your existed item and cards for something (could also be some debuff :] you are welcome )

• Some QoL update like a Bartender serving you drinks in the Diner

• And more to come!

Disclaimer: ODDCORE reserves all rights, including the right to ship the things described herein, and the equal right to be entirely uncooperative about doing so, with respect to any and all forward-looking statements. Any decision to place trust in Timmee is made at your sole discretion and entirely at your own risk. Should you elect to believe these statements in full, and should none of them ultimately come to pass, any resulting emotional damage arising from their being pure fluff shall remain solely your own concern and is expressly none of our business.

In summary: it could be something we actually ship, or it could be fluff. Who knows. =)

Until then, go explore those new maps, have fun with those new Bosses and Entity, I’ll see y’all in ODDCORE!

EJECT!
