Season 1 - Mid-season Update

With our inaugural season in full swing - the Game Master is back with a mid-season update full of quality of life improvements and bug fixes to keep the lies flowing and backstabbing knives sharp. This week we’ve fully opened the doors to our new PlayStation and Xbox friends - who we’d like to give a special shout out to for providing their invaluable feedback and suggestions in our Discord that has helped shape this update.

As for what you can expect next - our second season ‘Midsummer Nightmare’ begins on May 2nd for which we will soon be sharing details on the exciting new content we are working on.

Thank you for your continued support - and we look forward to seeing you in game!

The Deceit Team

[h3]Art[/h3]

Updated Wurgen’s destroyable walls to better fit the map.
Re-arranged Wurgen’s Examination room to make it easier to navigate.
Fixed several map exploits on Wurgen.

[h3]Audio[/h3]

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]

The Soul Guides for Tasks will now move between interaction points for Tasks like Millhaven’s Washing Machines.
Tasks that require multiple players will now have multiple Soul Guides to help hint to that.
Updated the Phone Task on Millhaven to make it easier for new players.
The Inspection Computer & Vats are now activated at the start of the 2nd Reality phase, rather than after a fixed period of time.
Removed the interaction for destroying CCTV cameras. These are still destroyable by damaging them or their attached box.
[FIXED] Wurgen’s Bunsen Burner Task stops working after the first completion.
[FIXED] Stashing the Mask item whilst disguised results in you permanently having the disguise.
[FIXED] Players using Keyboard & Mouse can get stuck unable to select an option in radial menus (e.g. Role & Voting wheels).

[h3]Input[/h3]

Added the ‘Sprint Behaviour’ setting for Controller users so you can pick between ‘Toggle’ and ‘Adaptive’. As a result the default for Controller users is now ‘Toggle’.
Updated the sensitivity settings for Controller users to be more in-line with other games. This changes how the default 1-10 settings behave, but also offers ‘advanced sensitivity settings’ for more fine tuned tweaking.
Disabled Aim Assist on Controllers when just looking around normally. This was previously configured to be barely noticeable, but did occasionally cause unintended camera jolting. Aim Assist is still enabled when aiming down sights.

[FIXED] The Implant shown on the Ascension tab can be incorrect.

[h3]UI[/h3]

Switched Player & Subject names around on nametags so that Subject names are more prominently displayed.
[FIXED] The Collection tab’s Item & Mutation screens incorrectly tell you how to unlock them.
[FIXED] The Ascension tab doesn’t show your total Accolade points once you reach Master tier.
[FIXED] Accolades show the points you’d earn for completing the next tier rather than the current one.

[h3]Translations & Localization[/h3]

Several translations have been updated.
