A new map has been added to the game, the pool. Featuring a whole new set of anomalies and secrets to uncover.

Get to work, Observers. The Company expects great results.

NOTE:
There are less anomalies in the new map and it is at the time of update release generally easier than the old map. This is fine. There will be tons more anomalies added in future updates!

Tons of new anomalies have been added to Family Home, some of them more elusive and dangerous than others.

Some of them are rare. Some of them relatively spooky. Some of them relatively normal.
Keep your eyes and ears open on the job, because you don't know what could happen next...

NOTE:
This update sadly does not feature any really spooky intruders. I do not have the models nor animation skills for that right now. I have plans for an "Intrusion/Horror" sort of update in the future though that should add what exactly you are expecting.. Some real scares.

If you are good at animating or modeling some spooky things and want to help with that (with potential compensation for your work through the game funds) please contact me!

An accuracy system has been added to the game. By the end of your shift you will now be assigned a rank depending on the difference between successful and false reports sent over during your playthrough.

A new confirmation screen has been added for anomaly reporting, for cases where you want to double check your report before sending it for better accuracy.

A bunch of new achievements have also made their way into the game.
There are also leaderboards available per-map and global leaderboards available from the main menu. 

Go chase those S-Ranks to be at the top!
I sincerely hope this can bring about more replay value to the game for those inclined while waiting for new maps / anomalies / other future content to be added to the game.

Additionally, for those wishing for an extra challenge, Hard Difficulty is now available.

On normal difficulty, there is no limit on false reports. You may send as many as you want with no penalty other than your rank going down.

On hard difficulty, you have a maximum of 4 fail reports you may send per match.
Any more, and you will be fired for sending too many fail reports.

There are also achievements for winning each map specifically on hard, and with S ranks.

In the future, there will be hard mode specific anomalies in the game, which will only show up on hard difficulty. There might also be additional settings you can tweak to make the game harder or easier.

If you haven't seen it, I published a blog post on my website that you can read here.
In it, I talk a bit about the development of the game, and what my plans are for it's future.

That's awesome! Please contact me on Discord and we can discuss the details further.

Working on this game has been great, and I plan to keep working on it for the foreseeable future.

I still have TONS of plans for this game, ways on how to innovate in the genre, lore, secrets, tons of new anomalies and maps. Possibly some even crazier features like custom map support, new gamemodes... Official modding support if S&box allows it in the future...

I might however take a bit of a break after this update to go work on Ape Tavern projects that I've neglected to work on this instead. Don't worry, it's just to get the ball rolling more over there for even better games for you guys to play. I plan to keep working on this game for a long time!

If you like the game and are interested in keeping up to date with it's development, I heavily recommend joining the community discord server. Thank you so much for the love the game has received so far, and I hope I can bring more fun to you guys soon. <3
