  Major Content Update - Willie's Rage

  Hi everyone, We appreciate the feedback from our initial launch - we have taken your suggestions and criticisms and have applied them directly into a brand new major content update that is now live! PATCH NOTES WILLIE Rage - Throughout the contract, Willie has a chance of entering an enraged state, making him impervious to all damage. Players must quickly find a place to hide during this to avoid their demise Sneak - Willie has a newly added sneak capability, in which he will slowly attempt to creep up on players who aren't paying attention to their surroundings. This new behavior is intended to increase Willie's creepiness factor as his presence is less predictably noticeable In general, there is an increased involvement of Willie throughout the contract and a higher resistance to damage, making him more persistent in his pursuit of players {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/cc805ba5f07a9f9a9a23eef978f7f67999b3fa39.png PLAYER MECHANICS Hiding - Throughout the Dry Dock Warehouse map, there are lockers than players can enter to become hidden, keeping you safe from AI. It's imperative to find a spot to hide during Willie's enraged state Players can now pick up both a wheel valve & fuse at the same time Players can now find a handheld map in the control room that can be brought with them and accessed throughout the contract All players are now visible on the compass when both alive and knocked down {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/04381baa0cf9973b9a9d097f37fd513970180e4a.png EPISODE ONE MAP REWORK Each sector is now unique to help differentiate the different areas of the warehouse (cafeteria, offices, chemical storage, steamboat area, boat parts sector, etc.) The total number of rooms, paths, and doors has been reduced for an optimal flow and to reduce tedium in walking across a large map There is now one Keycard per sector which opens all respective utility rooms as well, further reducing tedium in finding keys Each door is now labeled and has a new module showing whether it's lo...

Day 1 Patches We've just pushed a hotfix with the following updates: Changing regions while in the lobby will now properly update the list of rooms Implemented a possible solution for game crashing during Episode Two's closing cutscene Improved Mothman's attack logic, which had an issue that could result in him insta-killing people without even landing first Fixed a UI issue with a customization arrow re-appearing Next Update With your feedback in mind, we have some major changes underway that will address a lot of the frustrations and enhance solo play as well as multiplayer. Some of the changes will include: The ability to carry more than just one primary objective item (i.e. fuse + wheel valve) A handheld map that can be referenced at any time (with some limitations) A more consolidated (less maze-like) warehouse for Episode One Actually unique rooms in the warehouse for easier distinction Significantly improved key spawn logic to avoid frustratingly long searches Several adjustments/scaling to solo play to remove redundancies and back-and-forth trips Pest reductions on Biolevel 1 and clarifications on what to expect during higher contracts Medkit improvements, such as easier means of picking up medkits from walls, UI improvements, longer bleedout duration, etc. More prevalent antagonist presence and improvements

  Infestation: Origins has launched into Early Access!

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/c4e082bb9fcf4869e0c0c22d1852c88d8cc014ff.png We here at Vector Pest Control pride ourselves at taking on the most challenging of infestations. We've received numerous reports about locations being overrun by some new form of pests we haven't encountered before - they seem to be driven by something...unnatural. Gear up and eradicate the spread. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/6516bc5276aa56dde0fce35aae84e02e413a39cc.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/3068f688cb06bbd34a124ddfca716f676a2ca680.png Infestation: Origins is an episodic co-op horror game in which you play as an exterminator taking on contracts to eradicate infestations in various locations. Each infestation is caused by a twisted version of a classic character or urban legend. Completing contracts earns you cash, allowing you to buy new equipment, suits, upgrades, and more. Find the source. Treat the infestation. Survive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/aa69af52a9cc1a2d561be9553351cb931a0833d8.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/87f1c1c80b0f010209a897228210c803cc2af0fa.png The current game offers a fully playable loop with two episodes. With the core foundation in place, we have plans to add further variability and mechanics, especially as players take on more challenging contracts. During development, we'll also be listening closely to your feedback and suggestions to enhance the game. With the third episode already in development, as well as new AI behavior, equipment, objectives, unlockables and more, players have a lot to look forward to! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/a6cf259e5ca566d67f66b482749ed49ae8998ed6.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44814956/f91bbe18a22d7358d50281759eed863b7fd881b3.png Please join our official Discord to let us know your thoughts on the game, report bugs, give us ideas for classic characters / urban legends to include in future episodes, group up with other players, and everything else!
