The Milkbar Lads have been teasing on Twitter that the Goodnight update is coming some time in September. The month is already halfway over...
Wenn sie die Ente hierein lassen, lasse ich das Wasser hieraus!The update is here! Crazy lore revelations, an absolutely insane new alternate route, and so much more!
I do hope they will do some fixes about the final boss of the new route: it chugs along really hard on its last phase. Not the first time game has troubles keeping up with what's going on, (playing BOSS with Triple Bazooka is basically a roulette on whether the game will brick or not every time you fire once you have enough items) but I'll hope for the best.
The implications of the route itself do have me wondering: did the cult try some last-ditch attempt to get back at the playable characters by having them fall asleep, presumably permanently? How much of it is real? Is the older Cordelia from Dream!Dead Estate from some kind of bad future or...?
I can't say for certain without unlocking all of them, which I haven't yet, but I'm pretty sure that all the Awakening endings are means to take place six years after the True Ending in 2004, where Cordelia has to go about Getting The Band Back Together to stop the Leviathan from entering the mortal plane.
The 1.7.1 patch notes say that they are working on lag and performance issues, so hopefully the game will be less chunky in later levels pretty soon.
Wenn sie die Ente hierein lassen, lasse ich das Wasser hieraus!I am now maybe one of the first ever Milkbar Lads 0.1% Fans!
(that wasn't a beta tester)
This game has been beyond incredible. A true 10/10 in every way, I wouldn't change a thing about it. And assuming that the Awakening cutscenes are a Sequel Hook, I'm beyond thrilled to return to this world one day for a final showdown with Cybil and the Leviathan, whenever that may be. If not, then I'll support whatever the Milkbar Lads do next, unconditionally. They've earned my trust.

This thread is for discussion of all things Dead Estate-related.
So who else is like, REALLY excited for Update Six? I've hundred percented the game four separate times now and can't wait to do it one last time. I hope they add some kind of "1000 percent completion" reward.
Incidentally, does anyone else remember Lambert being present in Cordelia's flashack in her intro cinematic prior to the Assignment Anya update? I swear that he wasn't and that they Orwellian Retconned him in, but I have no way of proving it.
