I'm super excited to announce that Schedule I: Free Sample is now available to play for free on Steam! This is the official Schedule I demo and features some introductory content from the full game.
Let me know what you think! If you've got any suggestions or want to report a bug, there's an in-game bug report/suggestion tool. Feel free to also post on the Steam forums or Discord Server.
Previously the Spider Queen hunt had been using a very work in progress variant of our map generation system that we had been experimenting with. As a result, it was very large and very empty.
We have now reverted it back to using the standard map generation logic meaning it will be:
Smaller
Easier to navigate
Properly decorated
Have more stuff to interact with
We wanted to get a hotfix out ASAP as players had a 50% chance of picking the Spider Queen Hunt as their first experience with Hunters Inc and it wasn't particularly reflective of the regular map layout.
Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm actively monitoring for bug reports from players. Basically, I'm here waiting in the wings, ready to fix stuff.
Apologies in advance if anything goes really really wrong.
The team is hard at work on update 0.16, but in the meantime, we've prepared a patch for the 0.15 update to fix many of the bugs discovered by our QA team, as well as that were reported by the community.

We're planning an update on December 10. There will be no downtime, and gameplay and matchmaking will not be affected during the update. If you encounter any issues after the update, try restarting the game to complete the update. The main content of this update includes:
- Optimized Matchmaking Experience To improve everyone's matchmaking experience and reduce queue times, we've decided to adjust the map plan for Operations -> Hazard Operation. The specific adjustments are as follows: 1) Layali Grove - Normal Operation Temporarily Unavailable 2) Space City - Hard Operation Temporarily Unavailable
- Map Rotation Plan In the upcoming version updates and limited-time events, we will reintroduce these maps one by one, rotating them through along with other existing maps. We will continue to optimize in-game content and ensure that all maps provide the best gaming experience!
We understand this change might impact your gaming experience, but we believe it's necessary in the long-term as it helps maintain a positive in-game environment and ensure player satisfaction. We sincerely appreciate your support and understanding and promise to continue providing high-quality in-game content and services.
