It has been years since I made this game (with artist Adam Meyer and others), and almost as long since I sat down to just play it for fun.

I designed Impossible difficulty to be harder than I could beat. It's pure pain - the zed come at you incessantly, you have less food, fewer houses, more negative events. Pretty much every variable is cranked up against you.

The question isn't really whether I'll survive, but for how long. Wish me luck!

Version 1.6.43 (Windows only) adds extra logging and fixes some small bugs:
- fix wrong name on second option during attacks
- fix survivors not showing on plus menu during attacks
- allow disabling jumpscares in Vancouver map via modding variable Config.DISABLE_JUMPSCARES

As always you can find older builds in the beta tab on the steam client.

Version 1.6.39 - Quick fix for a couple events (including a very cool one in the Vancouver map which was always there but never ran before) and fixed achievements for the umpteenth time. Sorry folks, I can't help myself, I just love to break those cheevos.

Version 1.6.31 changelog:
- Updated to AIR 33.1
- Fixed rotten (green) skin tone
- that is all.

Minor updates which mainly affect the modding system.

Users on Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) may see a security warning when they install Rebuild 3. I'm afraid I've been unable to get Apple's new notarization system to work with our engine. This may result in Rebuild 3 being unavailable for Mac in future OS editions, or needing a security workaround to install. I'm sorry!
