addedHello, valued Courier! 😊✨Everything is proceeding smoothly, efficiently, and with only minimal incidents. Let’s walk you through your exciting new working conditions this coming Early Access!

changed99 Lives System - Because We Care About You!We’ve replaced the previous performance evaluation with a much more supportive system: 99 shared lives . Every time you or your teammates perish, one life is consumed. Once all 99 are gone, your entire run resets - packages, items, money, and progression included. Fresh starts are part of growth! 😊

changed99 Lives System - Because We Care About You!Don’t worry though - your profile progression (cosmetics, titles, challenges) remains. Just remember: the 99 lives are tied to the host’s save file . So wherever you go, you’re trusting the host’s reality. How exciting!

changedSmuggling Missions?While the company does not officially recognize or endorse such activities, we are aware that some Couriers choose to assist a “human resistance” led by a certain heroic figure named Sir Baffus . Should you participate, you may be asked to prepare and deliver unconventional packages using specialized tools.

addedNew Work Locations!We’ve removed the old demo environment and introduced brand new workplaces. You’ll now operate in a haunted house within an abandoned amusement park, the Panic Factory where humans were studied and cloned, and an Antarctic base centered around a crashed alien spacecraft.

removedThe State of the DemoWe concluded that the demo wasn't a good representation of our vision for Panic Factory anymore. Given there are more than a few changes to the game, we opted to remove the demo to ensure we're setting the right expectations for our future Couriers.

99 Lives System - Because We Care About You!

We’ve replaced the previous performance evaluation with a much more supportive system: 99 shared lives. Every time you or your teammates perish, one life is consumed. Once all 99 are gone, your entire run resets - packages, items, money, and progression included. Fresh starts are part of growth! 😊

Don’t worry though - your profile progression (cosmetics, titles, challenges) remains. Just remember: the 99 lives are tied to the host’s save file. So wherever you go, you’re trusting the host’s reality. How exciting!

Smuggling Missions?

You may, during your duties, encounter opportunities that are… not part of your standard contract. These so-called “Smuggling Missions” become available after collecting enough scavenged items.

While the company does not officially recognize or endorse such activities, we are aware that some Couriers choose to assist a “human resistance” led by a certain heroic figure named Sir Baffus. Should you participate, you may be asked to prepare and deliver unconventional packages using specialized tools.

New Work Locations!

We’ve removed the old demo environment and introduced brand new workplaces. You’ll now operate in a haunted house within an abandoned amusement park, the Panic Factory where humans were studied and cloned, and an Antarctic base centered around a crashed alien spacecraft.

Each location has been carefully selected to maximize efficiency, exploration, and manageable levels of fear.

The State of the Demo

Couriers - you may have noticed that the demo for Panic Factory has disappeared.

We concluded that the demo wasn't a good representation of our vision for Panic Factory anymore. Given there are more than a few changes to the game, we opted to remove the demo to ensure we're setting the right expectations for our future Couriers.

For now, we plan to focus on developing the game to reach the optimal level of gaming experience for everyone going into Early Access.

And with this - thank you for experiencing our demo! See you in Early Access!
