We’ve just released an Easter update to the public, which brings numerous updates to the game including a whole new enemy type and an explorable underground sewer.
New underground sewer
We’ve added a new underground sewer that can be found in the game. The sewer can only be accessed through a manhole which the player must first find. The sewer has very little light and is populated by new dangerous enemies called ghouls.
Ghouls – the new enemies
Ghouls are red eyes monsters that populate the sewer in the city. A player can easily avoid them with sneaking. But if they notice and catch a player they will inflict large amount of damage. They are also harder to kill than regular zombies. The ghouls can only be found in the new sewer.
Controller updates
The game can now be played with a controller. All in-game menus like inventory work with a controller now. Aiming is now also possible with left trigger of controller. The game now detects if you have a controller plugged in when launching and asks if you want to use it.
