DONT LOOK BACK Updates Hub
Pre-alpha moves fast — track what changed and what to re-test after each deploy.
The Updates Hub tracks how DONT LOOK BACK evolves during pre-alpha. Manul Studio’s own game description warns that early development means frequent updates. This wiki does not invent patch notes. We summarize durable facts, shop structures, and what players should re-verify after deploys.
Featured update pages
Pre-alpha status
Release posture, timeline context from the July 2026 early window, maps list, day/night loop, known shop categories (passes + developer products), and how to stay sane when systems shift.
What “updated” means for survivors
After any noticeable deploy, re-check:
- Pass prices and descriptions — Barrett M82 599, M16A4 399, Peacemaker 249, +2 Hotbar 129, Bonus Cash 1.5x 249, Scrap Insurance 179, Stamina Boost 79, Stronger Flashlight 49 may move
- Developer products — cash packs (~250–3000), Recover Lost Items 59, Reset Objectives 39
- Map list — Backrooms, Pine Woods, Redwood Road
- Threat behavior — nights still randomize; tells can change
- UI — codes redeem panels (none confirmed yet), shop tablets, control hints bottom-right
Then refresh practical pages: night prep, Survive the Night, Getting Started, provisional tier lists.
How we source changes
Priority order:
- In-experience observation after joining the official game
- Manul Studio group posts
- Game page description edits
There is no verified public Discord or Trello roadmapped for this title. Ignore third-party “patch leak” servers that bundle executors. Official destinations stay on the Links Hub.
Codes and scripts after updates
Updates are when fake codes and broken scripts spike. We still list no active codes until official strings exist. We still endorse no verified game-specific scripts. See redeem warnings and scripts safety.
Spending caution during pre-alpha
Buying every pass the night before a rebalance is risky. Prefer evergreen utilities (flashlight, stamina, hotbar) per pass tiers and the gamepass picker. Re-read game passes guide when prices shift.
Playstyle note
Patches can nudge the meta toward stealth or fighter without rewriting the fantasy. Always re-test your habits on each map (maps tiers).
Using this hub
Bookmark it, skim pre-alpha after major weeks, and let dawn — not rumor — confirm what actually shipped.
Player checklist after every noticeable patch
- Re-open the shop and screenshot pass prices
- Walk each map’s day sell route once in a low-stress server
- Re-run night prep with any new UI labels
- Skim Scripts Hub temptation posts and ignore them
- Confirm Codes Hub still matches reality (likely still empty)
- Update your personal buy plan with the gamepass picker
Doing this weekly hurts less than discovering mid-night that stamina or scrap rules changed under you.
Why hubs matter more than rumor screenshots
Edited Discord images claim new guns or Discord-only codes constantly. Our Links Hub keeps you on Roblox-native sources. If it is not on the game page or Manul Studio group, it is rumor until proven otherwise.
