[p][/p][p]DLSS is actively being worked on, but requires coordination with NVidia and therefore cannot be solely handled by the developers, so stay tuned there. Ultrawide monitor support is also being worked on, but in the meantime we see that the community already has a suggested fix. Thank you![/p][p][/p][p]Finally, we've seen that some of you brilliant folks are working on mods for the game. We LOVE THIS. We fully encourage modding of the game, and would love to highlight them as they come out. Just make sure to join the Blumhouse Games Discord and keep us updated as those go live.[/p][p][/p][p]More updates to come soon![/p]

Crisol: Theatre of Idols is the kind of game that doesn’t present its best self the second you get into the world for the first time. Not because it reinvents survival horror, and not because it’s telling some deeply layered narrative that’s going to stick with you for years, but because it understands that tension works best when it costs you something. In Crisol: Theatre of Idols, every bullet costs you blood. And blood is your health. It’s such a simple idea on paper, but in practice, it changes the entire rhythm of how you approach combat.

You play as Gabriel, a soldier sent to the cursed island of Tormentosa in a twisted version of Spain that leans heavily into religious visuals and grotesque folklore.

[p]Everyone, THANK YOU so much for the fantastic support of Crisol's launch. We love to see the detailed reviews, both positive and negative. This feedback is helping the dev team work on patches and updates to the game that will arrive soon.[/p][p][/p][p]We have noted a few bug reports, one of which we are deploying a hotfix for very soon. It is related to people that played the demo on Steam, which seems to be interfering with some save files and causing a freeze. If you experience a freeze or black screen while loading a save, and played the demo, here is a solution while we test the hotfix:[/p][p][/p][p]• Enable viewing hidden folders in Windows.[/p][p]• Disable Steam Cloud temporarily (until after the first autosave).[/p][p]• Go to:[/p][p] [c]C:\\Users\\YOURUSERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\CRToiPrototype\\Saved\\SaveGames[/c][/p][p]• Replace YOURUSERNAME with the actual Windows username.[/p][p]• Delete everything inside that folder.[/p][p]After the first autosave is created in the game, Steam Cloud can be enabled again if the want it.[/p][p][/p][p]Please keep the feedback coming, and let us know if you have any questions![/p]
