Alpha 0.7.6.0 "Room at the Inn" is now live!

Hi friends! Happy holidays to all of our alpha testers! Today is the release of the final pre-Early Access content patch, and it includes new puzzles, a new town event, and a fun new mechanic. It also inlcudes a ton of bug fixes for the final conclusion.

Alpha 0.7.6.0

Quests

New Town Event: Wake. Explore Tamas and Dani's friendship in the mid-game.
Modifications made to "Hunting Party"

Puzzles

Added 25 new puzzles in the Ice Cave (bringing the total in the Ice Cave to 64; you'll see 12 in a given playthrough, give or take)
Added a new path through Ice Cave 1
Added a new path through Ice Cave 2
Added two new paths through Ice Cave 3
Added a new path through Ice Cave 4
Holes in the last room of the Ruins now properly block your path
Fixed various crashes related to the Ruins
Fixed various graphics issues in the Ruins
Fixed various passage issues in the Ruins
Lightbridges in the Ruins are now embettered
Opening one door in the fifth room of the Ruins will not open all of the rest of the doors
Pillars now really do serve as pressure for the sake of pressure plates
Ramps placed in the water work appropriately
Reset now works in the Ruins Cave
Reset now no longer crashes the game if you have loaded a boulder into a geyser in the Boulder Cave AND have loaded the game from a save (that's a mouthful)
Reset now correctly resets pressure plates
Room five of the Ruins is now flooded with water
The timer better functions in the Ruins cave
Tools can now be used in the Ruins
Wolves now move around in the Ruins
YOU CAN NOW FALL THROUGH THE ICE IN THE RUINS CAVE (this is in all caps because it seriously took me way too long)
Other spoilery fixes to the Ruins cave

Misc

Autosave: when you start a new game, a new save file will be created immediately. Autosave will now save over that file (or, if you're continuing, from whatever file you loaded) rather than always autosaving a new file at the top. This means that saves kind of function like save slots now.
The analogue stick is now enabled
The Tool and Timer UI are hidden during the final confrontation
Additional decorations have been added to the Ruins
The progress bar at the start of a new file now tells you what it's doing
F6 has been disabled

Mac / Linux

Fixed graphic rendering of items on tables
Fixed player transparency when in water
Fixed various other client bugs

Vidar is Dying

In the middle of a blizzard, a community's remaining citizens are forced to confront their impending deaths. Every night, a villager is killed, and the survivors are forced to alter their course in response. Chart a path through always-changing, challenging environmental puzzles, and explore the stories and grief of these townsfolk before Vidar is lost forever.

A Random Story Every Time

In Vidar, every villager has heavily interdependent relationships with the others. When one person dies, everyone else’s stories change - if the blacksmith loses her apprentice, she’ll give you different quests; if the blacksmith loses her supplier, still different; and if she predeceases both, then those two will respond accordingly, etc. Because the order of deaths is random, the story and quests you receive will be different every time you play.

New Challenges to Overcome

To stop the killings you’ll need to enter a puzzle dungeon. Use your tools and your environment to help navigate to the center of the cave before everyone in town is dead. These puzzles are also randomly chosen from a bank of hundreds, so that when you come back to see a new story unfold, you’ll also face a new challenge.

Key Features

Explore themes of grief, community, nostalgia, loss
Quests, rewards, and story determined by who lives and who dies
