Update 1.3 for
Viscerafest has finally arrived (Offline & GOG Galaxy).
Update 1.3 (October 06, 2025) General Tweaks
• Updated Engine Versions
• Completely revised and updated Chapter 2's Sub-hub to reflect the updates made to Chapter 2 in the game's full release.
• Added new Death Messages.
• Restructured the difficulty selection menu to categorize certain difficulty types better visually.
• Color-coded difficulty settings in the difficulty selection menu.
• Tweaked the menu description of Brutal Difficulty.
• Enemies damaging each other in C1L2 will no longer invalidate your ability to get the Stifled Strike achievement.
• Tweaked Lock-On so that you can no longer lock onto enemies whilst they are invisible.
• Tweaked the Lock-On camera's movement to make it visually smoother.
• Tweaked Lock-On so that locking onto an enemy now disables the crosshair, making it clearer where you'll be shooting.
• Added a new HUD icon for when "Toggled Bunny-Hopping" is enabled and the feature is toggled on in-game.
• "Toggled Bunny-Hopping" is now engaged by holding the jump button for 1/3rd of a second. This is indicated on your HUD by a circular meter surrounding the toggle icon. Otherwise, you can tap the jump button as if the option were set to Regular. This change was made so you don't have to double-tap to perform a single jump while "Toggled Bunny-Hopping" is enabled. When you have "Toggled Bunny-Hopping" enabled, you'll use the regular option's max bunnyhop speed unless the jump is actually toggled.
• Climbing on a ladder will now automatically make your bunnyhop toggle turn off, and you can no longer toggle it on/off while climbing.
