The survival simulation game, The Last Caretaker, has received a substantial update, introducing a new jet ski, the CS-17 Courier Skimmer, and enhanced base-boat customization options. Released by Finnish developer Channel 37, the update aims to improve gameplay by providing players with faster travel methods and more personalization for their boats.
The update, arriving earlier this week, is the second major patch since the game entered early access on Steam in December 2022. The latest additions allow players to explore two new locations: a treacherous rocky island biome and a maze-like area that promises adventure and challenges. Players can now engage in specific questlines unique to these environments, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
In addition to the jet ski, the update brings several new features. A sonar module has been introduced, enabling players to scan for resources beneath the ocean’s surface. Customization options for boats include 37 different paint styles, allowing players to personalize their vessels. The update also introduces interactive in-game buttons that respond to physical impacts, adding a layer of interactivity that promises to engage players further.
The Last Caretaker has generally received positive feedback, currently holding an 84% ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam. The game sold 100,000 copies within its first month of release, indicating strong commercial performance for Channel 37. Despite some criticism regarding high performance requirements, the update aims to enhance stability with a range of bug fixes and major performance optimizations across various systems.
As the game continues to evolve, players can expect more updates and features that will enrich the survival simulation experience. This recent update not only adds exciting new gameplay elements but also addresses player concerns, demonstrating Channel 37’s commitment to community engagement and improvement.
