Frontier: Path of Shadows

It’s been exactly one week since the release of Frontier: Path of Shadows, and we’ve spent that week carefully reading your feedback and bug reports. Now we’ve finally released a hotfix! The new build is already live on Steam.This update mainly focuses on balance, enemy AI, scanning, the interface, and making several game systems easier to understand.

Now we’re incredibly excited to finally share them with you.If you’ve been following the project, played the demo, wishlisted the game, or simply stumbled across us recently — thank you. Getting to release day wouldn’t feel nearly as special without people on the other side waiting to play.And once you do play, please send us your feedback.Tell us what you liked, what confused you, what annoyed you, which characters you loved, which choices you made, and where things went horribly wrong. Reviews, comments, bug reports, Discord messages — we’ll be reading all
