Greetings Crimson Community,

The 25th Early Access Update is now live for both the full Early Access and Demo. The update features updates to the majority of game levels, complete overhauls, a new minigame and much more. Scroll down below to check out for the full breakdown.



As usual huge thanks go out the the awesome community for the support and constant feedback, especially ultra-mega shoutouts to Hardwater, Sinth, TF2NoobPlayer64, Gamb, Essentialist, Nekromorg, Pepperoni Vice, BreadIsNeat, ShreksSon64. YOU ROCK!

Oh yeah, enjoy the time limited Christmas content!

...and be on the lookout on the 24th December. Santa might have left a gift somewhere...




We are aiming to get the next update done for February and will focus in refining existing content and polishing/updating in-game events (both main plot and optional/side quests etc).

And now without further ado, let's move on to what's new:

0.9.25.0

-New mingame: Uno. Inspired by the classic Matrix lobby shootout, take control of Uno and style your way to victory through the lobby with dedicated destructibles, new enemies and a rockin' new dynamic tune. Enjoy the extra air-time adrenaline jump as well as wall jump! But you need to find a physical copy first. Maybe the newly opened cinema in Azur Plaza would be worth a visit?

-New reworked gore system. Now featuring our unique punch through system for all weapons, so expect combat to get more intense. Rip a gaping hole exactly where you blasted the poor sod with a shotgun or turn them into swiss cheese with the minigun...try for yourself to see the juicy new results!

-Blink feature: can be toggled off in the settings. When nearing focus time completeion the player will blink indicating time is going back to normal so you can now prepare accordingly for what's to come

-Updated and reworked physics. Get ready for some more flashy and varied deaths depending on the weapon you are using.
