Episode 4: [i]The Archive[/i] is now available.

The Aurora sets down beside an Architect structure eleven kilometers long. Something inside is still running after a hundred thousand years. Kira takes the spotlight as the crew works out what was left behind.

At around 20,000 words across all branches, it is by far the longest episode yet, with 11,000 to 12,000 in a single playthrough. It also adds 26 new achievements.

Also new for returning players

Episodes 1 to 3 got a lighting pass: screens, consoles and suit lights now glow. The Aurora's interiors have been remastered, wide scenes pan slowly across the view, and you can hide the interface and look around. The Codex adds six entries, including two new voiced Workshops on the Architects and the founding of the Alliance.
