2005: The Thirteenth Floor: Special Edition
Demo Released |

Merry Christmas
everybody!! Matthew Barich has released a
demo 'The Thirteenth Floor: Special
Edition'. There are a number of code changes,
including 6 keys on a special secret level,
separate ammo caches for each weapon and trigger
switches. The original 6 levels were very well
done, 1-5 and secret level 10, but there are now
3 extra secret levels. These are difficult to
find however, so for those who would like more
info on finding them, please click here. Matthew asks that people check out the
Read This from the main menu before
playing as it has a lot of info too. The new
demo is available here. The final version should
be out
soon.

completed. Still no estimate as to when the
project will be finished, but things are going
well. More to come as progress continues!
