PATCH 2023.8.b.2

Well, *I* didn't sleep last night. Thank you so much to everyone who's taken a chance on BOOK OF HOURS so far - it's the best launch AK or I have ever been a part of, and I can't believe so many people seem to like it. ALL THE FEELS.

We've just uploaded a bunch of bug fixes and quality of life tweaks to the beta branch, so if anyone fancies jumping on and testing them out, please do!

• Go to your Steam Library and right click on BOOK OF HOURS
  
• Select 'Properties'
  
• Click 'Beta' from the menu on the left
  
• Select 'beta - here might be dragons' from the 'Beta participation' drop down on the right
  

• Arrow / WSAD key navigation no longer sticks
  
• Insane bug where unlocking Brancrug would try trigger an achievement tens of thousands of times: fixed
  
• Added missing dialogue for Corso re: Apollo and Marsyas ('stains, Librarian'); also he now reads Phrygian
  
• Resting at the Sweet Bones in Numa has an outcome
  
• Comfort slots are displayed with a gentle uplight hint
  
• Reading... messages appear before ...read messages
  
• Improved some placement rules for wall art and books
  
• Oversized Egg no longer has Living Relic aspect
  
• Corrupt autosaves can (again) be bypassed by loading backups from the menu
  
• Display layout tidier for items/slots with lots of aspects
  
• Multiple achieved endings displayed more attractively
  
• Updated credits in memoriam Mickey Erbe
  

We'll push the beta branch to live later today once we've had a few hours to test it. Let us know if you're having any problems by sending an email to [email protected], but hopefully your biggest concerns are where to put that nice chaise-longue and finding tinned mackerel to feed the cat.

Happy Friday, have a wonderful weekend, and don't worry about that muffled thumping that definitely isn't coming from the Stair Tenebrous. More soon!
