The second floor has something new waiting behind the procedure room doors. This update also adds dismemberment for most zombies, fixes the HazMat gas, and brings a round of sound and polish work. The Procedure Room Placing the heart now seals the room. You will see a warning before you commit, so you can stock up first. A sealed ammo cache opens inside the room when the doors lock.

Some of them stop walking. That is not the same as stopping.THE STOMP- Get close to a crawler, or a zombie knocked to the floor, and press shove (G, or tap R3 on a controller). You stomp it to death.- The camera cuts out for the kill: you see your survivor drive a boot down onto it, then you are straight back in first person.- Works on crawlers, on zombies flat on their backs, and on zombies sitti

This one comes from the first Early Access feedback thread and a long evening of my own play-testing. Thank you to everyone who wrote in. The early game was harder than I meant it to be, and a few things that looked like bugs in the moment turned out to be exactly that.The first ten wavesI went back to how the classic round-based zombie games handled their opening rounds and borrowed the shape.- O

Update 0.3.1Two days of Next Fest feedback, and most of it came down to one thing: the shove. In the test scene it threw zombies off you. In the game it played the animation and did nothing. One line of code decided that, and it has been wrong since the day the shove went in. It is fixed, and while I was in there I went through the rest of the list.The shove- G on keyboard, click the right stick o

The Day 31 demo has been updated for Next Fest.The dead move differently now. They come at mixed speeds and try to surround you. They climb over what's in your way and drop down after you. You can shove them off. You can knock them down.There are machines in the halls, stamped VESSEL. Walk up and one opens. It sells attachments for the gun in your hands, and health.
