| Nov 10, 2026 | Bug Fix Update: Co-op Puzzles, Controls and Death Screen Thanks again for all the videos and bug reports! This update fixes the problems you ran into. Fixed Floor 01 co-op: burned triangles and vine walls now match for every player. Before, one player could still see a wall that another had already walked through Floor 01 co-op: the staircase that builds itself as you climb now builds for everyone, so nobody is seen walking on nothing Z and Q no longer |

| Nov 8, 2026 | Co-op Update: Voice Chat, Nameplates and Co-op Fixes Thank you everyone for sending in the bug reports! Here are the fixes I have so far. Let me know if you run into any more issues. New Proximity voice chat, on by default. Mute or change the volume under VOICE CHAT in the lobby settings or the VR hand menu. Nameplates now show real Steam names, with a dot when someone talks. VR TURNING setting in the lobby menu (snap or smooth). Fixed Strangers joi |
