The Ginormous Update and Walk of Life Supporter Pack

Hear ye, hear ye!

Walk of Life just dropped its largest update yet! The amount of content is so big that it would probably fill that really big warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark . And that was a really big warehouse! Do you remember all those crates?

This update marks a milestone for Walk of Life as we have now officially checked all of the milestones we set out to do on our roadmap! While this means that we have reached all our goals, do not worry: we will still continue to create new content for the game.

We've already gone over a lot of the stuff in previous dev blogs, but we have some surprises that have been kept under wraps until now! Strap yourself in, cause this is going to be a big one. But before we get to the patch notes, let us quickly talk about another thing that's dropping today.

Walk of Life Supporter Pack

We’re incredibly humbled by messages from many of you that have asked for ways to further support the game and our team in any way. To meet wonderful demand from our community, we’ve put together the Walk of Life Supporter Pack.

The DLC includes a 37-page digital artbook that showcases how Walk of Life's art evolved over time, five deluxe avatar variants of some of the most popular avatars in the game, and the full game soundtrack with music by Eiður Steindórsson.

We hope that these exclusive treats express our heartfelt gratitude for your support as you purchase this DLC!

New Role: Cultist

You voted for it, now Walk of Life's most ominous role has arrived! As the Cultist, players will have to do the bidding of the cosmic horror who sits at home, brewing their abyssal schemes. As the Cultist performs the bidding of the horror, they will receive powerful boons, but they would do well not to tarry lest they be punished!

New Map: Schnitzelland

Walk of Life's third official map is Schnitzelland: an idyllic mountain town with a rich history. The town's elitist inhabitants engage in an arms race of status and standing where everybody seeks to one-up their neighbor when it comes to what's most important in life: prestige.

Mod Support

Mod support has arrived! You can now use our ingame toolset, the Woolset, to modify Walk of Life to your specifications! Create new maps, challenges, global events, chamber actions and more, all while ingame with this accessible toolset!

Then, share your mods on the Steam Workshop and browse what the rest of the community has created! We hope that these new tools will become a funnel for our playerbase's creativity!

Four Fantastic Avatars

It's been a while since we've released any new avatars, and the bottom of the selection screen has had unfilled vacancies for too long! We hope these four new avatars appeal to you guys, cause they're certainly some of our personal favorites!

Six New Challenges

You asked for more challenges, and here they are! Enjoy three new single player challenges which push the Hacker, Scavenger, and Artist to their very limits! Then, call your friends and tackle three new co-op challenges that will test the very limits of your friendship!

New Achievements

Achievement hunters rejoice!

We finally have added achievements for winning the game as all available roles, as well as several new ones. Happy hunting!

Use Modifiers to Ban Roles

If you're sick of specific roles, we've added a few new modifiers that will allow you to ban specific roles from your game. Force your friends out of their comfort zone!

If you've been playing Walk of Life and have any ideas, thoughts, or general feedback you wish to get across to us, leaving us a Steam review is a great way to support the game and let us know what you think we're doing right and what we could be doing better!
