  Game update 22/02/2025 - Version 0.5.0

  New Content New Map "Wasteland": {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44669650/86081e3a2ddf10f24f7c4f96f932a49d2a6c0225.jpg Explore an abandoned village in a canyon. The map offers four different variations. Set in a desert environment. New Enemy "Mindsnatcher": {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44669650/3319396917936be0a5ba3313f1432a1e0c912184.jpg This demon has no eyes but possesses a large brain that allows it to track you down. Its special ability slows you down, then grabs you to invade your thoughts. It also has excellent hearing: make sure to move quietly and avoid unnecessary noises (e.g., when picking up items). Dynamic Weather System: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44669650/2daf22cc3a7686497c2f74700569d3724967ad62.jpg The system includes numerous weather phases that can occur randomly depending on the game phase and the map. It comes with many new visual and sound effects that change—and above all, intensify—the gameplay experience. Escalation in later phases: Storms and thunderstorms can occur, affecting both the environment and your hearing – so keep an even closer eye on the demon! The new weather influences not only the environment but also the gameplay: For example, rain makes the environment and characters wet, reflecting more light. In contrast, snow makes it more difficult to find items, as the map gradually becomes covered in snow. Flying Demons: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44669650/7249140220a781060d5a181ed975c49cbefed5be.jpg After nightfall, hell gates open and flying demons appear to attack you. Their attacks temporarily slow you down and impair your vision. Light can destroy the demons. The number of demons and their respawn interval depend on the difficulty level and the number of players. Minimap: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44669650/c2d21e1f77ed3a4720bbe1c6e001f922d674c08a.jpg A new minimap has been implemented, displayed in the upper right corner and can be switched to fullscreen mode. This feature provides a clear overview of the map layout with many benefits: Shows the positions of your teammates. M...
