Patch Notes

Tutorial Reworked!

  • Fast Onboarding: Streamlined the 30-step intro down to just 4 steps. Reaching your first payout now takes ~90 seconds (down from 8–12 mins!).

  • Less FrictionMandatory clicks reduced from 20 → 3; dialog lines cut from 30 → 4.
  • Full Control: 2x/3x game speed is no longer locked during the tutorial, and startup delay dropped to 1s.

  • Cleaner Flow: Long interruptions replaced with subtle, one-time popups when opening panels for the first time (toggleable in Settings).

  • Pacing Tweaks:

    • The Police Raid is no longer forced in the tutorial—it now triggers naturally once Suspicion hits 25%.

    • Evelyn introduces the Syndicate Tribute on its first spawn and points you to the Ledger.

    • First side quest duration slashed from 6 hours → 1 in-game hour.

UI & UX Improvements

  • Color-Coded Patient Criteria: Patient requests now reflect your stock in real-time.

  • Live Inventory TrackingAdded a dynamic "In Stock / Out of Stock" indicator that updates as you trade.
  • Second ChancesCanceling a surgery no longer makes the patient leave—they remain on the map. Penalty reduced from -3 → -1 Rep .
  • Clearer Guidance: Enlarged tutorial arrows, pulsing target frames, and screen dimming when highlighting key UI elements like the Suspicion Meter.

If there are any new issues I haven’t spotted, I’ll be looking forward to your feedback.

See you in another devlog :)
