Today’s the day! 2020 is a crazy year to live, let alone release a game. The past few months have been tough for everyone but there are always brighter moments amongst even the darkest ones. Fortunately, hopefully, this is one of those brighter days. After over 3 years of development we’ve finally reached the finish line. Reaching this milestone wouldn’t be possible without you all. Maybe we are repeating ourselves but that's a simple truth. You pushed us forward and carried us here. You encouraged and gave insights during this marathon of a development. Here we are then, Ladies and Gents! SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE has been released! [previewyoutube=rFAqvOASQrs;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]What comes with this update[/h2] SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE began as a tiny project, meant as free DLC for owners of SUPERHOT – a love letter to the fans who both supported us and craved even more SUPERHOT gameplay. During the development of MCD we’ added, we tweaked, we explored and redesigned many things from scratch. We’ve never compromised on quality so our tiny little DLC grew into the full, standalone game that is SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE. The game has changed. A lot of time has passed between the last MIND CONTROL DELETE update and the final release version. We have tweaked, improved and removed tons from the game. There is no point to go into detail (there’s just too much to talk about) but if you need to know MORE there is a lengthy changelog at the end of this post.

This might not sound like much but just wait and reach final stages of the game. You will be more than happy to have this option ;) Without getting into spoilers, we’ve also changed some of the more hmmm “hidden” parts of gameplay. There is slightly tweaked access to them so that even the hardiest of MCD veteran players will have a fresh challenge. A lot of love has been shown to replays. They run smoother than ever. You can share them without a hassle on socials. There is even a special secret photo mode but it’s a secret so let’s not spoil the fun. Along the way, we've also added achievements to fulfil your progress hunting needs. Visually speaking the game went through an overhaul. Our Art Director went to town and relit the levels, improved shaders and rebaked every single lightmap. The game looks and performs better than ever. Check out the changelog at the end of this post for further details.
