-fixed the green card sometimes not spawning
-fixed a missing wall on Swan River Hospital (not sure how I missed that one)
-changed the initial menu warning button to be larger

You have been asking for it and here it is.

Players now have the option to use the in game voice proximity chat. It is recommended that all players use this for a more immersive experience. Look at the in game settings for more details and how to set it up. Make sure to setup key binds for these actions.

New sounds have been added. Here are a few examples:
-Soft groan from the experiment
-Heartbeat if you are very close to the experiment
-Ambient background audio
-Most sounds are now in 3D space and can be heard by nearby players

Some players found it difficult to start game and invite players. The keys have been removed and replaced by a monitor. This monitor can be used by the host to start game and invite players.

Patch 1.61 is out now

Sorry about that... There was an issue that was only spawning the white zombie and the player was unable to kill it (I left this in as I was testing and forgot to remove it).

I have reverted the game back to v1.5 while these fixes are still processing on steam. Should only take 30 minutes.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

WOW ! It's only been 1 week since the game has officially launched and I am releasing another update. The game will still be receiving regular updates so please leave feedback.
I am currently working on some more minor optimisations and a new map for another update. For now though, this is the current update.

Let's welcome another zombie to the mix. (More will be coming in future updates)
This is the white coloured zombie, it is very quick but can be heard from further away. You will need to keep your ears open more.
The Lobby felt kind of restrictive compared to the regular hospitals. Now there is some space to explore while in the lobby.
The Sanity, Energy and Battery have all now been built into the image more. This is to try and have as little UI on the screen as possible as it can take away from the game.
The jump scares have been drastically changed. The old scares were too bright, glossy and just had the zombie punching you. The new scares have the zombie jump up at you and grab your face.
The UI has seen some small changes by making all the buttons the same size to make it the same as all the other menus.
With these new UI changes also come some animations for the animations fading in and out. For example, when collecting a key card, it will slide onto the screen instead of just appearing.

With 3 different zombies in the mix (and more on the way) it is best to get rid of the 85/15 spawn ratio and just go with even odds. The spawn rates will be even for all zombies going forward so keep an eye out for their colour.
I know you aren't going to read this long list so I will make it quick:

Launch options for people who have had lighting issues
Z fighting fixed on corners of the map
Timer at end of the game displays in M:S.sss instead of just S.sss
Changing key bind for "Open Chat" now works properly
Tutorial now shows your key binds instead of the default
Tutorial lighting has been built
Sensitivity and Audio were sometimes not saving
Couch collision fixed
Thanks for reading :)

Changed lights from a cool to a warm colour (this is just for the Halloween update)

If you find any bugs please feel free to email me at gr_productions@hotmail.com
Thanks everybody and happy Halloween <3

Sorry for the most recent changes with the Halloween Update. I was not able to double check the Halloween Update when I put it out as I had very limited wifi at the time (I still don't have much). I am reverting the update as the game was not launching for some people. I will be looking into this more, thanks to everyone for your patience and people who sent me emails about this issue. <3

Just a small update for the spooky season !

- Changed lights from a cooler blue colour to more of a warm orange colour (for halloween)
- Added 3 pumpkins in the lobby and in each of the 5 main hospitals (they serve no purpose but have fun finding them)
- Added back the original Silver Pine Hospital (before the map overhaul update). The map can only be played by stepping on the milk carton in the secret level.
