Build version 1.0.7, 2024-03-31

Another small patch addressing a handful additional player-reported issues:

• Fixed a bug where William's sprite would disappear during the opening sequence, leading to a stuck loading screen
• Existing Medical Records IDs now return "Entry found"
• Fixed a bug where speaker names in the Log would say "Default"

Build version 1.0.8, 2024-04-10

Small but significant patch fixing a major underlying issue and introducing the clues filtering feature:

• Introduced filtering by clue types in Evidence tab and "show evidence" UI
• Fixed underlying issue leading to broken game states in GOG builds without GOG Galaxy running
• Fixed underlying issue leading to stuck startup and loading screens
• Journal scroll bars continue to work even after case submission
• Miscellaneous small polish (e.g. new case submission sound)

We worked on some more stuff that isn't in the update yet, but wanted to get this out now to get people unstuck who were wrestling with the various ways in which said underlying issue could manifest. Plus, we didn't want to keep the much requested clue filtering feature from you any longer. The next big addition will be remappable key bindings.

Please let us know if you still experience any issues getting stuck on loading screens or in a weird gameplay state with broken interaction mechanics!

Japanese Localization OUT NOW

Fellow detectives,

Thank you for your patience, we know it's been a bummer that the Japanese localization was not part of the release build. But, the wait is over and you can now start your investigations on the Zephyr with Japanese texts.

On top of the new language, we've been working on some highly requested Quality-of-Life improvements. Here's the full changelog for you:

Build version 1.1.0, 2024-05-08

Medium patch adding Japanese, remappable keys, and a host of small fixes:

• Added keybindings feature: You can now remap keys in the main menu!
• Added Japanese translation
• Fixed some game logic errors (e.g. characters referring to things that didn't happen in your run)
• Fixed a bug where players settings weren't properly saved between sessions
• Fixed a bug where evidence stayed highlighted in UI when not selected
• Fixed a bug where the mouse cursor would fade out when it shouldn't
• Corrected dozens of typos in English language

We are aware that a small number of players still gets stuck starting the game. After trying a series of fixes, the next one unfortunately requires a larger rework of a core system. We're still working on it!

Thank you for your ongoing support and feedback - keep it coming, Detectives.

See you aboard the Zephyr!

We know that some of you guys have been waiting a hot minute for the first two in the list, and we apologize for the wait. As always, please let us know if you encounter further issues that aren't listed yet!
