"Please Read" - regarding Chapter 2

Ok so, we just recently released chapter 2, and some bugs slipped through the cracks.
Now this isn't out of the ordinary, every game is plagued with thousands of bugs and only so many can really be stamped out, especially when you're on a tight deadline. We rely on our testers to find issues, and when you've got a small pool of people playing it can sometimes be hard to find issues.

With that said,
Some major issues slipped through the cracks, including 2 known major save bugs, and an elevator that really doesn't like us. That sucks, and it's been miserable seeing this crap happen especially when getting to just this point has been so much of a nightmare and we thought we'd crossed all our T's.
we're currently hammering away at these issues right now and we will be aiming to have a patch out within the week. We're terribly sorry this happened, and we're trying to work quickly to rectify it, but fixing this stuff does take time, and rushing to fix it will probably only make it worse.

We wish all of you the best, thank you for supporting us so far, if you find any bugs please report them, supplying as much info and potentially footage as possible, it always helps.
