A singular loop comprises the entire game at present.
You then use a Telepad to travel to The Overgrowth to play the game proper.
Beat three bosses and you take on the Abyss King.
After that, you oughta head to an extraction point to get the hell out of Dodge.
Fail at any stage and you lose one of your four lives.
All gear and Holobytes have pips between one and two at present removed on death.
So, if you die twice in one run without looting more gear, you’ve lostall your gear.
It remains mega punishing.
So just staying alive increases your chance of death.
Pretty harsh, especially when you don’t understand why.
It still has chuggy moments, but overall it’s much improved.
Other problems like mouse sensitivity have been fixed in that first patch, which is great.
Whether you’ll care enough to unlock it all remains to be seen.
Fingers crossed that changes soon.
