Patch ER_EA_1.2 is now available for NeAt_ER.

Thank you so much to everyone who has played and reported issues in #neat-er-discussion on our Discord and here on the Steam Community forums. In this update the Laser Mode has received a significant input rework, many minor bugs have been fixed, textures have been updated for the SPIDER and the operating room has received a massive visual overhaul.

There is plenty more to come!
