Future Updates

We have received lots of your feedback, thank you. Currently, we've identified several critical bugs that we're working on:

  • Interact / F key stops working

  • Item duplication exploit

  • Player stuck in floor on respawn

  • Save/load corruption

  • Items falling through floors

  • Issues with ladders

We're working on all of these issues and will hopefully solve them in the upcoming patches.
