Much love,
Nightmare Studios

This update aims to tackle the proximity voicechat of Surrounded.
Where voicechat would previously clip, be choppy, or not work at all, you can now expect a smooth experience both in hunted and storymode. When launching the game you'll get a popup prompting you to calibrate your microphone and select your desired input device.

We'd love to see your funny moments using voicechat in the discord!

Other than fixing and overhauling voicechat, we have also fixed a bug where the centipede would keep chasing the player indefinitely without ever despawning.


Features:

• Reworked the voice chat to increase the quality.
  
• Introduced a setup proximity voice chat section first time launching the game.
  
• You can now change the input mic in the settings menu.
  
• You can now calibrate your mic in the settings menu.
  
• You can now change voice chat volume in the settings menu.

Improvements:

• Fixed a lot of the roads that were floating above the ground.
  
• Corrected the items that were floating above the ground.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the centipede would get stuck & not unborrow even when player goes out of reach.

Optimization:

• Optimized the level of details on player characters to ensure no frame drops when walking into each other.

Thank you to everyone for leaving bug reports, we will continue to fix all the reports over the next couple of days. If you appreciate our work, leaving a review / updating your review on Steam to be more up to date helps us a lot on our work. ❤️

We've acknowledged the issues with the lives and spectating system in Chapter 1, especially concerning game completion. We have currently disabled it temporarily until we can fix these problems.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, and you should now be able to finish the game without any issues!

All the other improvements from the last update are still in the game.

Hi there, Steam Community!

I hope you've all been well and are getting ready for summer! With all our recent updates, especially with the optimization, we've decided to put 'Surrounded' on a 20% discount, which is the biggest discount we've ever had! So if you've been looking to try out the game, this might be your shot!

The sale will last over the weekend until Monday midday.

And for everyone coming back to the game to retry it, if you enjoy it and appreciate our work, we would love if you could leave a review on Steam. It helps indie developers an insane amount, so thank you to everyone considering either leaving one or changing your current one. ❤️
