Okay so, bad news I'm afraid.

We gotta delay, LAST TIME, I SWEAR. But trust us, it will be totally worth it.

In short, the game is complete from start to finish. We technically could release now, but we felt we need a little more time to resolve a lot of other things. We are not 100% there with some of the optimization and level flow. The multiplayer suite is still a little rusty (needs more options) and the amount of bugs I've encountered in the campaign I feel are a little much.

That, coupled with the last delay of Ep 3 Part 1, had a flow on effect with this one

Another reason for the delay, and I usually don't bring up my personal life, but my partner and I recently had a baby girl! No, we didn't call her Ripper in case you were wondering. Any time I had left till the 18th deadline has been slowly sucked away as I've been coming to grips with fatherhood (babies are hard)!

Apologies for those eager to play, we are looking forward to a 1.0 release in mid-August. The final 3 levels of the game are fucking epic (and long).

- Wadaholic

The neon-lit dystopia known as Paradise has been overrun by Syn, an all-seeing artificial intelligence dead-set on destruction. Paint the town red with dual chainsaw arms and rev up fresh carnage with a second chainsaw leg.

Cleanse the streets. Purge Syn.
