Fix to German savegame descriptions

Fixed: German savegame descriptions were not displaying on slots 7-12.

Fixes and a slightly adapted ending

Some fixes
  • Small typos
  • Steam achievement fix for one of the badges - if you earned a badge but didn't earn the Steam achievement to go along with it, you can load up a savegame with the badge and Steam will reward you accordingly (alternatively, you can just earn it again if you prefer) :)
  • Fixes to some clickable hotspots (one which caused a DMW dead end!)
  • A patch to prevent the unintentional "Spiderman" easter egg which allowed Lucy to climb some walls.


Known issues
  • Mac - On some Macs with Apple Silicon, the mouse can get a bit stuck in one corner of the screen. We are working on a fix for this.
  • Linux - Audio can distort or judder on some systems, try disabling surround sound if this occurs.
  • Windows - The game rarely, but occasionally crashes with no log or report. We believe this is caused by graphics drivers on some machines. If it happens, you chould be able to continue from when you entered the last scene with the autosave.


A small change to the ending
The ending has been tweaked slightly. I don't want to go into detail as tit will contain spoilers, but if you want to read about it, there is a comment thread on Steam which goes into some detail.

Fix to game restart

After the game is completed, it was my intention to have it conduct a fresh "restart" so a new game could be played right away without any issues... I'm not entirely sure why I thought this was necessary, it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Unfortunately this appears to generate an error on MacOS and causes a crash, so I have removed this action from the game.

If (for some reason) players do want to start a new game right away after completing, simply close the game and restart it manually.

Typos and puzzle cube

What? You mean the game wasn't perfect when I launched?
Nope. Apparently there's still room for improvement, so I've uploaded a modest patch with a few little tweaks:

  1. I've fixed a couple of typos in some of the dialogue
  2. I've tried to remedy a bug where, remarkably, Lucy was able to walk halfway up a brick wall in one of the scenes (if this one persists we might rename it the Spiderman achievement and run with it).
  3. Someone managed to end up with a puzzle cube which is impossible to solve (this is not intentional and would be seriously irritating). If anyone else ends up in this situation, pressing the following key combination whilst the cube is visible should reset and randomise it again. CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + F


If anyone spots anything else which needs attention, just let me know.
