Update 0.56 New hairdoo & bugs squashed (News about next update too)

This update

We are back from the holiday break with some fun new things. 'Head'lining our new updates we have added some new hairstyles. Mainly the lack of mustaches was a glaring hole in Rekindling. This has been resolved.


We are continuing to do small tweaks to make the game easier to use and understand as we watch more and more people play. A ton of small things such as, being able to cancel jobs that are already accepted, have been added based on feedback from you guys.

You can now assign beds directly to survivors. No longer will Rick be forced into the cot he picked on night 2!


-Next update-

The break between this update and the next one will be the longest between updates we have had since launching. There however is good cause for this. The next update will also be the largest since launching as we will be adding scenarios for you to play. This will give you a new way to play, by having an actual goal! Our goal is to add higher replayability by having a constant stream of new Scenarios made by us and you guys (Yes you will be able to make them by yourself for your friends and strangers!) With this the game price will be going up very slightly after the scenario update, so if you have just been lurking and haven't bought it yet, now is the time! The update will be coming out on the 21st of January.

Final thoughts & patch notes

As always thank you guys for all the support you have been giving Rekindling we have a lot of fun things planned for the new year. Hope to have another great year of killing Zims. Keep letting us know how we are doing, all the feedback helps a ton.
