Version

0.0.0.3.805

Control & Handling Upgrades

  • Quick Restart

    Added a new Skip Prologue option! Players with an existing save file can now choose to skip the opening story when creating a new character and jump straight into a fresh survival run.

  • Drone Evolution

    Extended the drone’s battery life and added new control functionality. You can now move the drone using keyboard inputs to observe different areas.

  • Improved Responsiveness

    Optimized ground click detection for character movement and improved camera dragging. Enhanced the visual feedback when adding new actions to the behavior queue.

  • Furniture Functionality

    Added a secondary confirmation when selecting “Dismantle Freezer,” and improved functional description texts for certain furniture items.

Survival Experience Improvements

  • Storage Optimization Shelf weight capacity has been increased again, and a small number of initial miscellaneous items have been added to home cabinets, making the early game start more comfortable.

  • Overtime Penalty Adjustment The “Hasty Escape” status triggered when failing to return home before the disaster has been weakened, increasing the fault tolerance of hoarding strategies.

  • Crafting Efficiency Boost Reduced the time required for manual crafting at the workbench.

Enhanced World Immersion

  • Street Atmosphere Improved the visual presentation of outdoor streets. Before the disaster, a small number of vehicles can be seen driving by. After the disaster, a few zombies will randomly wander the streets, creating a more tense post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

  • Information & Narrative Optimized location information prompts and overall presentation on the pre-disaster map, and refined the clock-based narrative elements.

Stability Fixes

  • Underlying Optimization Improved environmental detection logic to prevent slower computers from being mistakenly flagged as having incompatible controls.

  • Save Issue Fix Fixed a rare issue where an autosave conflict could cause the post-disaster scene to load with a blue-screen-like missing environment.

Thank you for your continued support!
