The developers at MachineGames have added New Game Plus and the Cairo outfit to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle based on player feedback.

Bye Sweet Carole is a story-driven horror game created by Chris Darril (known for Remothered) and Little Sewing Machine, with help from Meangrip Game Studio. The game takes place in England during the early 1900s, a time when women were fighting for the right to vote. You play as Lana, who is searching for her friend Carole after she disappears from the Bunny Hall orphanage. As Lana investigates, she finds herself pulled into the unsettling world of Corolla.
The key to regaining fans wasn’t about adding a lot of new things or making big changes. Instead, the game succeeded by focusing on what made it great in the first place – specifically, capturing the feel of the popular *Battlefield 3* and *4* games. After spending the last week playing almost everything, it’s clear this focus on the core experience was generally effective. In fact, I haven’t had this much fun playing a Battlefield game since *Battlefield 1* in 2016.
