Greeting devoted fans! I'm finally back with a new version of Simbro ResErection! Let's dive in.

This update has a ton of fixes and gameplay "enhancements." I spent a lot of time trying to get the "core" of the game up and running. You'll notice that this update has the Gloryhole working to an extent, and clients can now run away. I've added a whole new floor, which you'll unlock after a police visit and completing some tasks. You can now gain and lose reputation, which directly affects how many clients you get a day.

Honestly, I have a ton more to talk about, but I'll let the changelog do the rest of the talking. Be sure to report any bugs (I'm sure I missed a bunch) and let me know what you think.

The maintenance duration may be extended or ended early depending on the specific situation. The game will not be able to log in during the maintenance period. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Dear Players,

We are preparing a major update for Escape: Zombie Maze. Here’s what you can expect:

The Last 10 Levels: The final 10 levels of the game are being added. These levels will require more strategy and offer greater challenges!

Katana Update: The katana will be improved. As there will be no ammunition available in the last 10 levels, this weapon will be crucial for your survival.

Background Music: Background music will be added to the first 17 levels. Additionally, dark-themed levels will feature appropriate atmospheric music.

Zombie Combat: The game remains realistic – defeating zombies without precise strikes is tough. However, this update may introduce adjustments to combat mechanics, especially in the early levels.

Traps: Traps will be introduced in the last 10 levels. You’ll need to lure zombies into these traps – a new strategic challenge!

Labyrinth Improvements: Due to the large size of the labyrinths, small hints like lights, images, or holograms will be added from level 24 onwards to assist with navigation.

Remember: This update will make the game more strategic and deliver an even more intense zombie combat experience. Get ready for new content and improvements!

We’ll share more details about this update soon. Stay tuned, and thank you for your support!
