Threshold, currently in development and not included in the demo, is a cache-like space between reality and Beyond—the virtual world where the dead are backed up. Unlike Beyond, Threshold doesn’t mimic reality precisely. It often breaks physical laws and serves as a transitional system zone.

Hi everyone! Today we’re releasing a new hotfix patch that addresses many of the issues identified in the 1.0 build. Check out the full details below:
Save Game Issues & Progression Reset
Improved save conflict and reconciliation screens.
Fixed a bug where cleaning and relaunching save files could trigger unintended reconciliation prompts.
Swapping between Steam accounts on the same machine no longer resets player progression.

Fixed an issue where the Voidspyre Skill Check expedition unlocked prematurely after Chapter 2.
Cosmetics
Resolved a bug preventing side content cosmetic rewards (Smithy, Chip, Mason, etc.) from appearing in the player’s inventory. Note: While this issue has been resolved, affected rewards may not have been granted retroactively. We're still investigating and appreciate your patience.
Progression Blockers
Fixed a bug where completing "Fire and Brymmstone" with the Skip option failed to unlock Brymm’s banner in the Sparkhold.
Resolved a boss fight issue where minibosses didn’t spawn, blocking completion.
Fixed a critical bug causing warning decals (e.g., enemy telegraphs, danger zones) to disappear quickly or not display at all.

Resolved issues where companion selections didn’t persist between basecamp and host switches.
Adjusted companion balance (e.g., Slug Bot stun-locking, Gunner Bot & Beam Bot “super elites”.)

Bosses and enemies now behave more consistently with corrected aggro, spawn, and death logic.
Disabled auto-kill on mimic chests for bosses.
Fixed collision, spawn, and interaction issues across various maps.
Addressed animation bugs (UI pose popping, Slash Bot interrupts, stuck death loops.)
Improved hitbox alignment for attacks (e.g., Beam Bot stomp.)
Fixed "super elite" issues (e.g., not spawning Sentry Bots.)
Balanced mission rewards, favor logic, and difficulty scaling.
Buddy’s Action Figure now correctly unlocks after completing “Save the Unibots.”
Fixed a bug preventing the “Cyberus Snaps Back” expedition from unlocking after Chapter 2.
Fixed a progression blocker in “Morale Will Improve” (Chapter 9, Mission 3,) where the boss room would auto-complete without enemies.
Added tooltips in FTUE to reduce reliance on dialog.
Fixed companion selection, inventory load, and UI stutter issues.

Hey everyone,
Time for a new build!
I have decided to go with a new direction with the game, as the other version was maybe a bit too ambitious. So ive decided to make the game into a crafting RPG / shop sim game. So instead of being open world, now instead you play as a craftsman in a town and sell items to its villagers. Theres still an NPC management aspect, as you are going to need help with automation and selling items later on, ive just reduced the scope a bit. Also decided to focus a bit more on world building and story, so now there is an actual questline, instead of the quest being a todo list / chore (runescape as some has pointed out. nothing bad against runescape, its just grindy). The main aspect of the game will be focused on crafting, automation, hiring villagers and selling, upgrading and buying new items / properties to help you expand.
Patch notes:
Since ive basically rebuilt the game, i cant list everything here.
so yea thats it from me for now.
have a nice day.
The wait is over. 🌆

This update marks the release of the final version of the prologue. All changes and improvements included in this patch are the result of feedback received during the DEMO period – thank you for your support!
⚠️ The demo will be removed one day before the official release.
The final version will be available for free during June.
🔁 Full rework of the first area
The starting area was completely rebuilt from the ground up. Thanks to the new lighting system and redesigned structure, the experience is now far more immersive and much clearer than in the demo.
⚙️ Optimization
We've significantly reduced the game's disk space and RAM usage. You may notice smoother performance throughout. However, please note that the minimum system requirements remain unchanged, as listed on the Steam store page.
🗣️ Spanish Voice Acting
The game now features voice acting in Spanish (V.O.) for the main character and several audio tapes, which play a key role in understanding the story.
📖 Expanded Story
The narrative has been expanded to provide a stronger introduction to the universe of The Last Tape. While it keeps a cryptic and mysterious tone, you'll now be able to follow the dark path of the Lurmont Corporation into its deepest nightmare.
🗺️ Updated Maps
All previously existing maps have been reworked, fixing many design issues and adding new areas. These changes ensure a fresh experience even for those who played the demo.
🖥️ Brand New Interface
A completely redesigned UI allows you to inspect items and track collected elements more easily, helping you follow the story without missing key details.
🏆 Achievements & Easter Eggs
We believe replayability is essential, so we've added hidden easter eggs and fully integrated achievements for you to discover and unlock.
Fixed character-related bugs and strange audio glitches when interacting with objects.
Resolved texture loading issues.
Redesigned the main menu – all settings now function correctly.
Fixed issue that allowed players to leave the playable area.
Removed floating text elements.
Footstep sound effects were improved.
Tunnel collisions adjusted to avoid head clipping.
Improved the object inspection system.
Removed ability to walk through trees in the first zone.
Implemented a new lighting system for better visibility.
...And many more minor fixes!
Hi Gravediggers, 🧟♂️
We’re aware of the issue where employees can get stuck, and while we're still working on a full solution, this patch introduces a temporary “Unstuck” button for employees to help resolve it quickly.
Here’s what’s included in this update:
🆘 Added Unstuck button for employees
🧠 Fixed some AI pathfinding issues
🌐 Fixed Chinese localization problems
🎥 Fixed an issue where camera sensitivity settings wouldn’t save or apply correctly
We’re also actively working on the Achievements System. Here is small tease!
Starting with the next patch, your in-game actions will begin syncing with Steam. When achievements go live, you’ll automatically unlock the ones you've already earned. 🏆
More fixes and improvements are on the way and thank you again for your support, and keep the feedback coming!
💬 Join our Discord to share feedback, ideas, or just say hi!
We’re always around and would love to hear from you!
