Operation Lovecraft Update 0.8.6 (Patreon)

Happy New Year! Update 0.8.6 was live on Steam closed beta branch several hours ago.

A new investigator, Talon, joins the squad in this Closed Beta update.

A century ago, the Lunar War erupted over the contested Lagh Metal meteorite that had fallen on the Moon. During the conflict, TALON (Tactical Aviation Low Orbit Network) commanded over a thousand air battles. The deep neural network formed by intercommunicating orbital fighter squadrons quickly surpassed human tactical ingenuity, demonstrating foresight far beyond even the greatest strategists.After the war, TALON was decommissioned and repurposed as the navigational AI for the Archimedes, guiding the spacecraft unscathed through the dense asteroid fields of the Kuiper Belt to ultimately reach Yuggoth. Outwardly carefree and nonchalant, this veteran pilot has been quietly longing for the day it might once again soar freely in the skies like a bird—and perhaps that day is closer than it seems.

With the VR system further refined, we have shifted our focus back to the combat system and Research Passes. The pace at which new investigators are released will pick up significantly in the coming new year.
