14 Oct, 2025

Attention, Operator!

Your job just got safer a little easier. We've listened to your feedback and made some necessary tweaks and changes to the demo, making your mission to the surface even more streamlined (but unfortunately for you, still just as dangerous).

Play the demo here.

Today's improvements:

Balancing:
- Voxels on lower floors made weaker to increase the initial run speed.
- Voxels in 3D locations are now weaker.
- Brightness increased in 3D locations.
- Defence structure node now moves much faster.
- Weather events trigger less often
- AA turret now rotates much faster.
- All defence structures have 20% more damage.
- Various other balancing changes.
- Numerous bugs fixed.

Settings and accessibility:
- Gamepad is now fully supported
- New graphic and performance settings added in the main menu

Improvements:
- New visuals and audio for fast travel combos
- Various improvements to the tutorial and onboarding

We hope you enjoy these adjustments to your workplace. Thank you for your continued service!

(Please note this new update to the demo will override previous progress!)

found multiple bugs...

bug 1: the secondary weapon does not seem to function at all. it says control to use no button i can press gets any reaction from the artillery weapon i chose. bug 2: i just finished my first run with the miner operator and instead of getting back to that office lobby room, i was greeted by the equipment selection window, with no way to close it or even get to the main menu. had to close the game with alt+f4. also, the quest desciptions were broken and just said something akin to 'text not found' bug 3: ...

Join the new ITER-8 Steam playtest!

6 Aug, 2025

//Begin Transmission

Attention, operators!

There's two pieces of big news from Corporate that we'd like to relay:

1) ITER is now ITER-8. They think it sounds cool. Moving on.

2) The ITER-8 playtest is now live on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2832310/ITER8/

Suit up and make your way to the Drill Ship!

This playtest will give you access to the perfectly safe winter biome and ITER-8's first boss. You'll be able to try your hand at mining, upgrading your weapons, and most importantly, defending company property from enemy attacks.

If you enjoy the playtest, wonderful! Welcome to the team. If you don't enjoy the playtest, tough.* Your service is non-negotiable.

Best of luck out there, operators! We'll see you (hopefully) on your (uncertain) return.

//End Transmission

*We are of course actively gathering feedback as we continue development, and your thoughts are super important to us! Please do let us know how you get on with the playtest. (HR states that legally we have to say "we greatly value your feedback" - but this time, we actually mean it.)

Can you please include an option to change the language?

Game defaults to language of OS, which I DO NOT want!

The outdoor camera is unusuably horrendous

I'm serious, I love the game but navigating the outside parts is like pulling teeth.

"Wormhole on Path" base device - doesn't work?

"Resources on the path are automatically moved toward the base" But they're not... What I thought would happen: I could bring resources to the path line and it would slowly carry them back down to base like a conveyor belt What actually happens: Nothing?? I can't tell any difference. There's a new upgrade tab (not sure if this caused that) which makes the wormhole ABILITY better, but getting that ability is random, and also, that doesn't have to do with path nodes, it's a wormhole you set down in a spot...
