Second Source v0.9 — one more shift

Version 0.9 is about the urge to play one more shift.

At the desk

• ENDLESS now runs by days. Every five minutes the day closes and you pay for the desk server. If you cannot cover it, a system goes down; in the red, Command sends an emergency contract. Your record is counted in days.

• Last stand. Reaching DEFCON 1 no longer ends the watch on the spot: you get 45 seconds to make three right calls without a single miss. Hold the line and you are back at DEFCON 2 with a bonus.

• What you missed. At the close, the game shows the planted report you published and the exact pair of facts that gave it away.

• No manual. A new player starts straight at the desk with the first report already waiting. The full tutorial is still in the menu.

• Between shifts: the actor that got away comes back, and you can ask for a rematch. Race the ghost of your best shift, cash out early or bet on reaching the end, take one last cable in the late edition, and watch for rare reports.

• FLASH WATCH, a three-minute mode, and an analyst's notebook that tells you which lies you keep missing.

In the escape

• Stones now come in a bag of six, and guards stop falling for the same trick.

• Close calls slow the camera for a breath when a guard almost had you.

• Breath: you can no longer sprint the whole way. Run too long and you are winded.

• Something different every escape: a blackout, heavy rain, a change of guard or extra trains.

• 18 stamps to earn, loot that pays at the desk on your next shift, and the guard who saw you last time is waiting.

Plus many fixes, including the desk sliding under the mouse at 125% and 150% interface scale.
