Haunted House Renovator News

We are back with another round of fixes! Here's what has been updated:

• Taking a picture of a new Wraith will now automatically open its bestiary entry, even if you've previously photographed a different Wraith.
  
• Once all 5 Wraith-related items have been photographed, the relevant ritual information will now appear automatically.
  
• Wraith ritual entry will not spoil the correct solution if the player banished a different Wraith before moving on to the next.
  
• Lanternus Halloweenus now actually shines light around it when it assists the player as a pet/companion.
  
• Blank Canvas, Crystal Ball, and Book Stand are now correctly categorized under the Bait section in the Shop.
  
• The Bait category is now pinned to the top of the Shop and visually highlighted (just like the "Quest" category).
  
• Fixed an issue with keybindings not saving correctly.
  
• Tutorial wallpaper tasks no longer require 100% completion (as originally intended).
  
• Character dialogues added to the audio (UI) settings
  
• Fixed an issue with Gremlin not being able to find treasure.
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the game to register a "nice" banishment of the Lantern Ghost as both "nice" and "mean," which affected achievement tracking.
  
• Other small fixes

We're incredibly grateful for all your bug reports! They help us react faster and focus on what matters most. If you come across any new issues while playing, please let us know via Steam forums or our official Discord. Thank you so much for your support!

We're also actively working on improving the tutorial, which currently doesn't provide all the necessary guidance. We're updating it based on your feedback, but it will take some time as it's a bigger task. Thanks for your patience!

Another day, another round of fixes! 🔧
Before we start, we would like to encourage you to continue reporting any bugs you find. You can do so on the Steam forums or on our Discord. We truly appreciate your support.

Here’s what’s been addressed in today’s patch 1.3.192:

• The Shop tool now unlocks after destroying the first key-crystal.
  
• Banishing the tutorial staining ghost in a nice way now correctly completes the quest (previously, the quest was only completed if the spirit was caught in a trap).
  
• Updated light source limit values, which should now display the correct limit after entering a new map for the first time.
  
• Damaged and broken object scanner upgrade - now detects damaged and destroyed lamps.
  
• Fixed the loading screen animation.
  
• Added community items (pending approval from Steam).
  
• Other small fixes.

We're working on improving the player onboarding experience (tutorial) and we would love to hear your suggestions. For now, we're leaning toward adjusting the tutorial to resemble an upgraded version of the demo's tutorial. However, this is a major change and will require at least a few days of work.

Due to the number of bug reports and the importance of improving the tutorial, these issues have become our top priority. This means that our previously announced roadmap might change, as we're currently focusing all our efforts on fixes to ensure the game runs smoothly for everyone.

We'd also like to let you know that there will be no patches over the weekend, but regular hotfixes will resume next week.

Thank you so much for your support and understanding!
