Gamedec – New Characters DLC Available

Anshar Studios’ cyberpunk detective RPG Gamedec can now boast two new pieces of DLC. Priced at $3.19 or your regional equivalent, they add Dafne Bennet and Izmael Krostov as playable characters. To be quite honest with you, even after looking into it, I’m not clear on whether these are just cosmetic skins, or if playing as one of these characters actually changes something in the game.

But in any case, these new additions are accompanied by a hotfix for the base game, so here are the patch notes:

Hello, Detectives!

We’re happy to announce that the latest characters have log-in to the gamedecverse. Unveil the story once again; you can now play as Izmael Krostov, a veteran mariner with vast technical knowledge, or Dafne Bennet, who’s fascinated with strange worlds. Each character has her own unique story, immersing themselves in the Gamedec world with unique attributes.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the character’s background and professions, please head to the following articles we published recently on Steam:Dafne Bennet and Izmael Krostov. Please make sure your game is updated with the latest version available. The update is required to activate the skins properly.

Let’s move to the bug fixing part. The latest Hotfix 1.4.2 is also live in the stores. Along with all the slightest changes, we’re adding the option you’ve asked for – A second dialogue layout. Since today you can choose whether you wish to have a Dialogue List or Dialogue Wheel. We can guarantee that this isn’t the latest word from us. The next update with major changes is currently warming up in the starting box. We can’t wait to release it in the upcoming weeks, finally!

All the minor changes you can find below are separated between the locations where you reported the issues. Please join the existing threads on Steam Discussion Forum or create a new one if you have any thoughts.
