New update around the corner!
Before it releases I want you to be introduced to the new inventory handling

Use your mouse weel to scroll through the inventory, which has at the moment up to six slots.

Use the [1] and [2] number buttons to move your item farther or closer to you.
This means a change in the controls, but as I have seen from other players, you can get accustomed to it pretty quick.
Your prior inventory items won't get lost, no worries there.

NOTE: I also increased the rate of auto saving. If your auto save triggers at a sequence or something similar (essentially during important parts of a story or when the black cinematic bars appear, which would break the save normally since sequences don't get saved) please report it to me in the forums so that it can be dealt with it.

Bugs? Eww... Report them by clicking this button! It will redirect you to the steam forums. If anything with the new inventory handling or auto saves seems broken, report it to me as fast as you can say noodletornadoearinfection!

Wanna learn more about pine island and the surrounding geography and lore?
Check out the new books in jasons store!

Visit PIne Islands National Reserve! Maybe you'll meet the friendly park ranger.




Work on Edward's Sewer Adventure is approaching the climax of the story.
After that comes a phase of voice recording and bug testing, before it gets released onto GameJolt and Itch in the following month or two.

You can already follow the game page here :)

There have been many more additions with the recent update,
but I'll count them down in the change log. Stay tuned for the update to release today!

God bless.

Hello fellow players.

I wanted to compile a quick list of the bug fixes which were added in previous patches along with some newer additions.

Weirdly enough the gamma/contrast option stopped working, the cause was, that it only got called as a method once when switching to or from psx. But that begs the question, how did it work prior to that, without me changing it.

I suspect Mim to be behind this, what do you guys think?

Enjoy :D

-Added visual hints onto the riddle gates
-Increased the shop alarm trigger at the entrance
-Adjusted the metallic value
-Fixed the newspapers from not spawning in the ACT II future
-Fixed the password for the Auroras core room
p2
-Fixed the time freeze
-Fixed the book store trigger which prevents you from stealing
p3
-Fixed the headphones of the com agents from not following the head
-Fixed a custom leave computer key binding from leaving the computer mid entering a password
-Fixed the game from breaking after inserting a board, that you are riding on, into a box
p4
-Fixed a small bug for Michael's Birthday which made Edward disappear
-Fixed a few more typos

-Added nice Water Falls above the dam
-Added a cave with some hill men above where the dam is, some time in the 1500s
-Fixed the Gamma/Contrast Slider in game
-Alterations to "The Last Stage" in the dialogue with crimson and the last comic.
-Removed Mim for above reasons

An arcade machine appeared in the 6/12 store. Can you beat the high score? I've added a metallic slider to have more variety in the cars looks!

You will find newspapers lying around the city or at the post office. They refresh every 5-10 years giving unique stories. Depending if you are in ACT I or II you will get two different tellings of the timeline by reading the newspaper.



There is a ghost ship appearing in ACT III.
The Mystery Crimson Quest was replaced with a quest revolving around this ship. Will you solve the mystery?

You trigger the quest right after reaching Pine Lake with Athor, and having helped Jason with the basic things you enter Crimsons office, to find out about The Aurora...

Work is progressing on Edward's Sewer Adventure, a small story game in the ps1 style graphics, about Edwards encounters while being lost in the sewers as a youngling.

Me and Averie are slowly finishing up the basics of the game, the bare bone mechanics so to speak.

After that will come the actual story. Here is a little sneak peek if you want a better description of the game. Rotate the 3d model around:

You can also follow Averie to get regular saturday posts about it!

Next up will be two more major side quests, before adding a conclusion type side quest, which will wrap your entire story up in a nice package to look back at.

I wish you a good week, God bless and enjoy the update :)
