Hey everyone,
Thanks again for all the feedback on the Norah’s Song demo. I’ve just pushed an update that includes:
Fix for the clipping issue after the move to UE 5.6. It still happens in some edge cases with motion matching, which I’ll refine in a future update
Reduced head movement. A customization option for this and FOV is planned
Fixed the camera blur issue when toggling the flashlight or getting too close to walls
Fixed the camera going out of focus unexpectedly
To respond directly to a detailed comment that caught my attention:
Yes, the camera clipping is a real issue, especially around tight spaces like windows and lamps. I’m working on better collision handling to stop that from happening. The floaty camera and exaggerated wobble were toned down in this update, and more options are coming to let you adjust that to your preference.
The flashlight blur and strange focus behavior were caused by an unintended post-processing effect. That’s been fixed. As for the doors, you’re right. They lacked proper feedback, and input was getting stacked. I’ve started reworking the interaction system to feel more responsive and grounded.
This is all still a work in progress. I appreciate everyone’s patience and honesty. Every comment helps.
More updates soon.
Thank you copogu4, https://steamcommunity.com/id/sonoket, https://steamcommunity.com/id/anothernewhuman, https://steamcommunity.com/id/caro12345/ for your feedback and trying the demo!
This Wednesday, June 18, at 7:30 AM UTC, scheduled maintenance will take place on the Caliber servers. During the maintenance, the game will be unavailable.
Greetings Responders!
Today we launched Reanimation++ (0.4.2). While this is one of our smaller updates, it does feature a big new feature for NMRiH2, a new emergency exit for characters with Early Individual Extraction.
Along with Early Individual Extraction, the update features a large number of gameplay changes, new weapons and ammo, balancing changes, and continues our work post-Reanimation of optimizing players' experience by removing bugs, crashes, and exploits.
We’re also just one month away from the launch of our next map Broadway, arriving with one of our larger Early Access game updates. Stay tuned for more No More Room in Hell 2 summer news.
Early Individual Extraction
Early Individual Extraction is a new extraction system that opens to players during emergency situations. When the number of living Responders drops to 3 our Early Individual Extraction system turns on, opening a number of bunkers around each map.
Players are not required to use extraction bunkers, but at that inflection point in the game everyone has a personal decision to make. Do I risk my character for the rewards of accomplishing our mission or survive to fight another day by extracting early?
Players who use these sites will be required to forfeit their supplies and gain no character XP, and will not earn character stats from the match, but will earn a reduced amount of credits and the appropriate account XP from completing objectives. Most importantly, players' characters will survive and be returned to the active character roster.
New weapon: Gruber 922
Our first .22 calibre weapon is the Gruber 922. While the .22lr is an extremely light cartridge, the 922’s magazine holds 25 rounds and the rifle has very little kickback. The 922 also supports every attachment type, making it an intriguing weapon choice for the right Responder.
Zombie Weakened State
Players have a new tactical advantage against the horde. Knocked zombies now take 100% bonus damage while downed. This window of opportunity lasts until they start to arise from their downed state. Remember - blunt weapons do more knockdown!
New Responder Voice
A new Responder voice has been added to the pool, internally named Lynch, with male and female versions.
Added the new Gruber 922 and .22 LR ammo to the Loadouts menu.
Friendly Fire caused by explosives should only do a fraction of the total damage to other Responders and should not be lethal.
Zombie attacks should no longer interrupt grenades being thrown.
Highlights:
Zombies - Fixed an issue where zombies could be invisible while rounding a corner or when the player turns around until their animation montage finished, causing zombies to suddenly appear in view of the player and appear to be spawning in or teleporting.
Server/Client - Applied tentative fixes to prevent players from encountering the ‘Join Session Failed’ error when attempting to join a match.
Server/Client - Applied tentative fixes to prevent squads from being disbanded instantly.
Server/Client - An EAC update was applied to attempt to resolve issues where the game fails to launch after the EAC splash screen. Please let us know if you still encounter this when launching!
Environment - Applied a tentative fix for an issue where the Radio minigame in the Pottsville Community Center could teleport players back to the radio

Known Major Issues
Note: as this is Early Access, our title is in active development and bugs are to be expected. We have listed some major known issues that we expect many players to encounter, however:
We have updated our ammo boxes in the shop to 20 cartridge boxes. If you have a 10 cartridge ammo box equipped in your loadout it will still be there at 0.4.2 launch, but if you unequip the box it will disappear.
Players on weaker PCs may see a ‘Lost Connection’ error on their first attempt to join a map after this update.
Two-handed firearms may not raise properly to shoot after dismissing the flashlight.
Some explosives placed in maps may light players on fire in an unintended way.
Weapons and items may clip into the ground when dropped.
Flashlight may appear offset from other Responders' hands when idle.
We thank our playerbase for continuing to report issues and encourage further reporting through
, in-game through the menu, or in our Discord.
New features:
The automation screen now contains a section allowing you to create "trade rules" to automatically trade resources at the market when your specified criteria are met
General gameplay
The "overworked population" multiplier has been expanded out into three different multipliers for overworking your population, running out of food and running out of gold, with each having a different effect
A number of warehouses in NPC cities have been converted into farms or mines, as the recent change to warehouse capacity made them effectively unlootable
Misc
The server infrastructure has changed to support multiple servers; this should have no visible impact on the client, but as with all large changes to code base this will increase the likelihood of bugs appearing or the server lagging
Play the latest version of the prototype here : Itch - Avant-Garde
This new unit is quite different from its peers. With it, you can now build, repair, and blow-up buildings! You heard that right... You can place dynamite and blow up any building you want. Regarding construction, you can build bridges over rivers to allow units to cross wherever you want! You see, this unit plays a crucial role!
Here's another special unit! You can only move this unit; its action in the game is passive. It will replenish your surrounding units with ammunition cartridges. The closer the unit is, the faster the ammunition will reach it. Be careful, however, as this unit is vulnerable to enemy artillery and can explode, which will greatly affect your troops' morale. You can also capture the enemy ammunition wagon if it's isolated enough.
There's a wind of change in the presentation of the options your units can perform. The menu that used to be associated with each unit and followed it, is now static, making it easier to select and understand.
The selected cell indicator no longer displays when the radial menu is active
Better management of focus on buildings
Improved UI display of building "life"
Some skirmishers were not firing when in skirmish formation
Cavalry charges did not affect enemy unit morale
Clicking on event icons no longer affects unit selection or destination
Smoke on the minimap was not centered when zoomed in
