This update should fix most of the issues that have been reported for the last build - it won't be able to fix damaged save-games though... Several issues are specific to users that are playing in German and on Windows-PCs. This and several additional issues have been addressed in the new builds and should not occur when starting a new game. Skipping of cutscenes has been reworked completely for this build and quickly pressing on dialogue-options should not confuse the game any more. Several issues that occurred in specific levels have also been taken care of. Sorry once again for the issues you faced in the current builds!

Major Update

We have created a new version of Unforeseen Incidents that can be played with the gamepad and has passed Valve's Steam Deck review. This version has many changes to the UI and to the game itself and the code has been optimized heavily. So all in all: have fun and stay healthy!

Features

• Controller support added
• Compatible with Steam Deck
• UI update for menues, since they didn't work with a controller before
• Various bug fixes
• Heavy reduction in file size due to better compression. This is also the main reason for the relatively big download size of the update, but it will actually save disk space on your machine.

Tool-Fanatic Protagonists Bundle

Harper (Unforeseen Incidents) loves his Multitool and he's able to repair almost anything with it. Despite living in the 50th century, Henry (Mutropolis) is old-fashioned and prefers a good old trowel for his archaeological adventures. They're both a bit nerdy about their tools.

About Unforeseen Incidents

When small-town handyman Harper Pendrell meets a dying woman in the street, he unwittingly stumbles into a diabolical conspiracy a mystery only he can solve. An unknown disease is spreading across the country, and between them a scientist, a reporter and a reclusive artist hold the key to stopping it. A perilous journey awaits, and every step brings Harper closer to a cabal of dangerous fanatics. Before he knows it, he finds himself in a fight for the future of humankind armed only with his trusty multi-tool. Can Harper find the courage to expose the truth and prevent an epidemic, even if it means succumbing to contagion himself?

The Art of Unforeseen Incidents
