We’re extremely excited to bring you a new update which puts Who is Abby to version 1.1.4! This update focuses on enhancing performance and addressing several key issues reported by the community.

  • Fixed an issue with the museum not loading properly from Chapter 6.

  • Fixed the “floaty Tom” issue in a later flashback sequence.
  • Fixed an issue where players could light the fire from the attic in Chapter 6.
  • Many many other minor tweaks and fixes


It took us a little while to get this one out because of the difficulties with the performance issue on the final chapter for players not using ray tracing however, it is now resolved and runs considerably better. We managed to include a bunch of other minor fixes too.

We still have more to do and we have a couple of exciting announcements soon... So keep em peeled!
