We released a critical patch today, October 16th, to address a security vulnerability in Unity-created applications, as announced by Unity Technologies. This update is now available for The Past Within.

We strongly encourage all players on Steam to apply this update as soon as possible to ensure the security of their game.
Our game and player data were never compromised. The patch ensures that all Unity-based titles — including ours — remain safe and secure going forward.
