> INCOMING DIRECTIVE: WATCH UPDATE 03: CURIOSITY WAKES TRAILER:
Curiosity Wakes marks a pivotal shift in the game’s direction by shattering the silence of the heavens and unlocking the player’s ability to contact humanity’s distant orbital haven for the very first time.
Update 03 Highlights:
- Contact with space: The caretaker can interact with the new Council of Humanity to build vital committees that shape the life on earth surface. These committees are populated by the very humans being launched into orbit. In this way, the committee system reveals one of the ultimate purposes of the player’s efforts.
- New and smarter threats: Ram Sharks, Laser Sharks, and waking ArchAngels add new danger to the ocean. Plus, enemies in general are more deliberate in their attacks and less predictable.
- You’re not alone: players can unlock and fabricate allied support units, including Field Escort & Localized Intervention Sphere systems and Sweethearts companions.
- New Caretaker customisation: change the look of your Caretaker with numerous paint options.
- New locations, quests, items, and upgrades: including the Shark Research Area, Rollerboi Factory, discover long-forgotten facilities, unlock new modules, extract new resources, and evolve your Caretaker along new progression systems.
At the centre of the update is an evolution of the player’s mission. Until now humanity’s future has been prepared in silence by an unseen force. Curiosity Wakes begins to provide the answers. The humans you launch no longer disappear into space; every launch brings meaning, structure, and consequence to the world below.
Beyond its major systems and story additions, Update 03: Curiosity Awakes continues Channel37’s ongoing commitment to grow and improve the world of The Last Caretaker. New enemies and support units arrive alongside additional balancing, enhanced audio, upgraded interaction feedback, and broader systemic improvements across exploration, combat, and performance.
The Last Caretaker is available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, currently discounted by 20% $27.99 / €23.99 / £21.59
