'The Other 99' (ALL) Early Access Update Adds Story, Tweaked Graphics, Combat and More

The Other 99 is a deadly single player, first-person, action-survival game.

Ripped from your ordinary life you awaken on a desolate, windswept Hebridian island with nothing but a single note that reads, “The only way off the island is through the other 99”.

The Other 99 will stretch your humanity to breaking point as you fight to gather food, water and weapons on an island where you have nothing, where you are nothing.

It us up to you to make yourself into something. Will you brutally murder all those who stand in your way? Or will you move silently through the forests, eliminating anyone that crosses your path? Just remember each person is unique and has their own story to tell and their own pieces of the jigsaw that makes up The Other 99.

Even if you manage to leave the island, will you ever be the same person?

Since its Early Access launch in August, The Other 99 has already had a few minor patches - but the time has come for a massive update.

In this latest update we have created a brand new story line which will give you a glimpse into the island’s past.

Improvements to the combat system, such as AI enemies strafing, and interrupting incoming attacks with a push, will add to the challenge of trying to survive.

We have also implemented a beta version of the save system which stays true to our permadeath approach to the game – when you die, your save file gets deleted. While this system is still in beta, we cannot guarantee save files will always work across patches, but we will work to minimise any incompatibility.

AI Characters now have a uniform that better suits the games story and lore. Additionally, the island has newly refurbished zones, brand new environment models, texture updates and performance optimisations.

In response to feedback from content creators, we have implemented an audio menu which allows you to adjust various aspects of in game audio to suite your needs.

To celebrate todays release, The Other 99 is 15% off on Steam during the Halloween Sale.
