Peak co-developers Aggro Crab and Landfall have suddenly released the Play It Your Way update, and with it comes the literally game-changing autosave feature.
"Oh now this is peak," as one fan of the climbing sim summarizes on Reddit. Players have been yearning for autosave – it theoretically makes your boneless climb up a hairy mountainside less horrifying. In their Steam patch notes, Peak devs explain they're now making good on all those "long-requested quality of life features...but we snuck in some weirder stuff, too."
As far as bowing toward existing demands goes, in addition to those campfire autosaves that'll last "until you win, lose, or start a new expedition," devs have introduced custom runs with granular modification options and abridged mini runs. Campfires have also officially become "chill," as the developers say, "You can now hang out as long as you like by a campfire without gaining hunger or the fog progressing. It will not extinguish until any scout leaves."
In an effort to broaden Peak's accessibility, Play It Your Way also includes a zombie phobia mode that creates "an alternative aesthetic for the mushroom enemies in the Roots that hopefully squicks you out less," Peak devs say, or you can simply annihilate all zombies by excluding them from a custom run.
And finally, for the weird, Play It Your Way offers a grapple mode that devs emphasize is "stupid." That's probably true. But it's also Peak.
