RDL Enters Early Release

RDL (Restoration Directive Labs) has officially entered Early Release.

This marks the beginning of an evolving research phase where the facility, its entities, and AURORA herself will continue to expand, adapt, and destabilize over time.

In its current state, RDL offers:

• Fully playable solo and co-op expeditions

• Procedurally generated facility floors

• Unique experimental entities with distinct behaviors

• Merge Machine crafting and item experimentation

• Proximity voice chat and early AI-driven interaction with AURORA

• Persistent progression through facility logs and discoveries

Early Release allows players to experience the core directive now while actively shaping the future of the project.

What’s Coming Next?

Alongside this announcement, we’re sharing a development roadmap outlining what’s currently in progress and planned for upcoming updates, including:

• New floors and room modules

• Additional entities and behavior systems

• Expanded AURORA interactions and responses

• New merge outcomes and experimental devices

• Balance, polish, and performance improvements

This roadmap reflects our current direction and priorities and may evolve as development continues.
