Key Takeaways from the Aug 22 "Even More Lore!" Update
- Liz's House is a new location. After Shift ~21, complete Liz's UV-photo quests (Mike Spiders, Sophie Paws, Rusty Yamada), then she invites you to her home — travel there after your shift to find notes on missing people and Ratthew's vanished girlfriend.
- Third-person camera with zoom, plus new Doctor / Paramedic skins and a Fast Start (skip tutorial) option for quicker runs.
- Wheelchair transport: move fainted patients to beds far faster; return the wheelchair to its spot when finished.
- Oxygen mini-game: during a Room 1 gas event, pump a patient's oxygen back to full to stabilize them (active, not AFK).
- Red-eyed Secret Agent twist: crawling through Liz's house vents with DNA samples, a Secret Agent with glowing red eyes appears at the door — "Change of plan. You need to go right now."
