Desaturation Patch Notes for 1.1.3

This small patch only fixes one thing:

In the Soul Realm JRPG Final Boss Battle, the "Entanglement" action happens immediately when triggered, but still after Lord Ashen Turn 7.
If you enter the battle and immediately use the cultist book, it's guaranteed that the Entanglement will happen after turn 7, making the final battle consistent!

Desaturation Patch Notes for 1.1.2

Hello Splatians. This is yet another quality of live patch.

Yes, we had a secret ending that we decided to cut before the release, because it wasn't fully polished. But it looks like there was at least one way to trigger this extra content and get some missing dialogue that stalled the entire True Ending sequence, and at least one of you discovered this bugged mess.

it was a glitch related to the Atom Hat and the Golden Relics.

We've decided to just add this ending back & make it much easier to trigger. And we also fixed everything related to your Splatian's legacy. For you, secret seekers & Atom Hat lovers, the Ceremony Hall is important thing, but the Modular Factory is also important!

Here's what's new & changed:

  • The Super Secret Ending is now easier to discover!
  • Getting any of the 3 endings will now return you to the Temple prior the Final Battle
  • Carefully checked the Alex Taylor Secret Quest (Library & quantum MFA)
  • Made many fixes to "Amnesia" chain, especially in the Soul Realm
  • Removed the first Red Soul in the Soul Realm Entrance
  • Slightly nerfed the souls in Soul Realm Pool Table
  • Removed some enemy souls in the Soul Realm Maze
  • Fixed some bugs of the JRPG Battle System
  • Added some strong hints during the Final Phase of the JRPG Final Battle
  • Fixed many dialogue issues in the Chinese translation


For those who actually read patch notes:
Library - Atom Hat - Ceremony Hall - MFA Switch - Relics - SlimRemote

Desaturation Patch Notes for 1.1.1

Hello Splatians. This is another quality of live patch + a community Chinese localization for the game.

[h2]Here's what's new & changed:[/h2]

  • Fixed some glitches related to DemonWare behavior
  • Made the SlimRemote Equip button in the briefcase screen actually work
  • Fixed the display in Current & Information
  • Added a cable in Current & Information to hint more about that puzzle
  • Fixed minor bug in the Realm of the souls.
  • Fixed a shader that was causing some issues on Steam Deck.
  • ADDED Simplified Chinese community localization to the game.

Note for AMD Radeon users. A MAJOR issue have been identified caused by third party overlays and the AMD Adrenaline overlay on some systems.

If you have a high-end gaming system and Desaturation lags, please attempt to disable Discord's overlay and AMD Adrenaline's overlay. This may improve your performance. We don't have access to a system where this slowdown occurs with Desaturation, but some people reported that these fixes work! Try updating your drivers and closing software that may interfere with the game.
