Try To Fall Asleep News

Good evening players,

Today we're releasing a nice patch (0.4.1d) for Try to Fall Asleep! Here's what's included in the patch:

• In the falling asleep segments, fixed a glitch where exiting the blanket too soon would cause the camera to get elevated above the blanket.
  
• Made the hiding in blanket animations a bit smoother.
  
• Fixed the Discord invite.
  
• Tweaked the moon light colors for the first and second dream.
  
• Slightly tweaked the post-processing effects for all scenes.
  
• Made it possible to seamlessly switch between gamepad and K&M in the main menu. The cursor will now properly appear whenever the game will detect any mouse input.
  
• Added a new secret.
  

Edit: We just released another small patch (0.4.1e), so instead of making a separate post for it, we decided to update this post with the changes in the most current build.

0.4.1e patch notes:

• In the falling asleep segments, fixed an issue where the camera would get stuck after getting jumpscared by Murgs.
  
• In the falling asleep segments, fixed an issue where spamming the blanket button while being jumpscared would cause the camera to elevate higher than it should be.
  
• Turned off the flashlight at the beginning of the second dream.

Goodnight!

Good evening players,

Today we're releasing one more patch (0.4.1c) for Try to Fall Asleep! Here are the following patch notes:

• Added links to AmberDrop's YouTube, Twitter and Discord in the main menu.
  
• Changed the "Don't loose the light" minigame in the 2nd dream. The first light will be normal as usual, but slightly pulsing. The next two lights will be pulsing more intensely. The last two lights will quickly fade in, stay put for a brief moment, quickly fade out and teleport further on their path.
  
• In the final message after completing the early access, fixed the cropped text and missing text guide to return to the menu.
  

If you find anything else, please consider sharing it in the "General feedback thread".

Night, night!

Good evening players,

This post will detail all the changes and fixes that are included with this 0.4.1a patch.

• Fixed the camera getting stuck when getting jumpscared by Murgs in the falling asleep segments.
  
• Fixed a bug where after reloading the first dream level from death, it wouldn't be possible to pick up the fuses.
  
• When running up the tunnel in Night 4, pressing the escape key won't freeze that game anymore.
  
• Made it so that the walls of the cave (Reach the End) are a bit more slippery, so that the player can't latch on a completely vertical wall when falling down the pit.
  
• Added a new song when playing the cassette player in the underground lounge room.
  

If you find anything else worth reporting to us, please consider sharing it in the General Feedback feed and use the bug reporting template.
