What you can expect
- A mind-bending original storyline that we somehow managed to keep secret during 10 years of production.
- An atmosphere so engrossing you will almost smell the stench of decrepitude and putrefaction around you.
- Exciting challenges rewarding your wit and observation. No pixel hunting or boring math puzzles.
- Memorable soundtrack inspired by vintage horror productions and quite a bit of John Carpenter.
- No jump scares! OK, maybe just a frightening couple that will hit you when you least expect it.
- Relentless pacing leading to a shocking and disturbing conclusion. You simply won’t believe what’s coming!
Patch 1.2.3058 codename "What have you done to its eyes?"
We bring you a comfy and mostly run-of-the-mill patch, yet with a number of fixes some of you were requesting:
- Fix: During the ongoing storm around mid-game, rain sounds were very faint when inside the asylum. Now you can hear the storm outside, thus further enhancing the atmosphere throughout this momentous occasion.
- Fix: Last time we suggested everything should be properly localized now, but some problems remained in the menu. Now it really should be ready, including all achievements in the Steam client. Hopefully that's all!
- Fix: Following feedback from Russian fans, we reverted the wording for "Interviews/Logs" to a more appropriate one. You complain, we listen.
- Fix: After finding a certain little item related to another certain musical item, the task from the notepad kept throwing an incorrect feedback, thus confusing poor players to no end. None shall be confused moving forward.
- Fix: Clicking "Resume" after finishing the game could crash everything. Now you can't click resume. Don't insist, the game is over. Turn off the computer and enjoy your life.
- Fix: A tiny texture inconsistency in Hawthorne's desk. Really small thing, no hidden meaning here. We don't want any of these patch notes being misinterpreted as story clues.
- Note: Is the phrase "why are you doing this" being correctly interpreted? These tenses can get tricky.
- Fix: After unlocking a certain drawer early in the game, the task for this puzzle could annoyingly reappear, thus annoying attentive players. None shall be annoyed moving forward.
- Fix: "Hydrotherapy" had a typo in a number of maps.
- Fix: Similarly, the bathrooms were incorrectly labeled in some maps. Now everything is super consistent across the maps. Please stop nitpicking the maps.
- Fix: There was a mysterious vase disappearing and reappearing in the foyer, thus frightening distressed players. You still will be frightened moving forward, just not by this vase.
- Build string: version 1.2.3058 (test with CTRL + V).
