Demo Updates - Version 1.0.29

Hi inmates!

The past few days were crazy for us. We released the first demo and make our debut at one of the biggest Game conventions in America (PAX EAST is a lot of fun. Don't forget to check out our Twitter!). Of course, the most important thing is to ensure the quality of our games. We are so glad to see people playing our game in a video or during streaming. Last but not the least, we have checked ALL your feedback via Google Forms. Special thanks to the buddies in the Discord group and the inmates who filled out the questionnaire! You can find the details of all fixes and optimization of the demo below.

Bugs Fixed
  • Fixed the bug where items could not be continuously taken out from the cell cupboard.
  • Fixed the bug where Lion and Hyena could be in the wrong position to ensure the player can interact with the television. Now everyone can watch a movie.
  • Fixed the incorrect size of the text in the numeric prompt bar in some cases after rolling dice.
  • Fixed the bug where hiding items in Bill the Buffalo's cell would get stuck in place when on low Stamina.
  • Fixed the bug where the wall behind the laundry machine could not be investigated in mouse mode.
  • Fixed the bug where player could not use the phone after calling Maggie in the morning.
  • Fixed the bug where NPCs would appear in wrong places after watching a movie.
  • No more fights in the bathroom. NPCs will no longer block the player in the corridor while heading for a shower.
  • Fixed the bug where players could not talk to Koala during Recreation Time.
  • Fixed the bug where digging could not be continued if the items were damaged. Now you can dig with your bare hands. Great change, huh?
  • Fixed the bug where player couldn’t come back to the Main Building from the General Building after 17:30 in some cases. They finally fixed the door!



Process Optimization
  • There is now better text guidance when entering the infirmary. No able-bodied prisoner will fall on a physical now!
  • Added a storyline skip button. But we still hope you'll listen to the stories of the prisoners.
