The lighting engine has been updated. Shadows are now more dynamic, making hiding spots genuinely viable. Character models have also received a subtle polish, particularly in facial animations during the game's "punishment" sequences (when you are caught).

The following maps are key components of the current game version: The Barnyard

Promising but unpolished – recommended only for fans of adult stealth hybrids who tolerate early-access jank.

Version 0.20 is not just a bug-fix patch; it is a substantial content update that addresses community feedback while pushing the story forward. Here is the official changelog breakdown:

AI design and player psychology Enemy AI in this build is deterministic and transparent, which is an intentional choice to make stealth less about randomness and more about reading patterns. Guards follow predictable patrol routes and investigate noises with simple, consistent behavior: a raised alertness state, a short search pattern, and then a return to patrol if nothing else is found. This predictability fosters a psychology of planning: players map patrol cycles, bait guards with sounds, and create safe windows to move or to access objectives. The game’s feedback—audible cues when a guard hears something, visible exclamation marks when alerted—helps players form mental models of the AI and feel rewarded for clever play.
