Dataminers who crawled through this build found remnants of a third Polymer Glove ability that never made it to launch—a "Gravity Well" that could collapse enemies into a singularity. Similarly, an electro-melee weapon called the "Tesla Cutter" exists in the files but is missing final textures.

Before the neon-drenched, glove-wielding protagonist of Atomic Heart officially punched his way into our libraries, the game existed in a state of "what could have been." For most studios, that statement is metaphorical. For Mundfish, it became a digital reality when a surfaced online just months before the game’s official February 2023 launch.

This build preserves a "lost" version of the game. For instance, the opening train sequence in this build is 40 seconds longer and features a monologue from NORA that was cut for "tonal inconsistency."
