Hi! Here are the fixes included in patch v1.3a: Major improvements:

• Fixed: Camera rotation for some players is too sensitive and spins out of control, especially when using the mouse
• Fixed: Trees, walls and roofs often obstruct the player's view of Sid, especially when in Ethan's house. Most objects and trees now fade out when Sid is blocked from view by them.
• Fixed: The camera rotation when running through the fields outside Ethan's house is locked.
• Fixed: Added Vsync.

Minor fixes:

• Fixed: Sid sometimes faces away from the camera when changing outfits in Sid's room in the first scene.
• Fixed: The song that plays during the first-person car drive section doesn't loop.
• Fixed: Player can look at photos while fetching plates in Sid's mom's house, which in turn causes him to clip through the camera after looking at the photos.
• Fixed: Player can trigger the dialogue for entering the shower from outside the bathroom in Sid's mom's house.
• Fixed: When meeting Ethan's dad for the first time, Sid can get stuck on furniture and walk into it endlessly throughout the scene.
• Fixed: Attempted a fix for a rare shader issue on Mac where some scenes would render completely pink.

Let me know if there are any further issues with this patch! -Armaan

Play the demo during the Steam Summer Fest Jun 16-22

Sid is a fiction author struggling with a creative block, attempting to recapture the feelings of inspiration he felt when he was younger. In order to pay the bills, he needs to think up a story and apply for a grant - the deadline is today - a lazy Sunday in the middle of summer.

On this Sunday, his struggle is disturbed by an invitation to attend an unavoidable family obligation - The place Sid grew up in is about to be sold, and his mother wants him to come home for a small party so he can say goodbye to it. With the deadline approaching and his creative juices having frozen, this is not something he's looking forward to.

Join Sid as he reluctantly journeys back home, meets old friends, relives memories and attempts to kick start his creativity back into gear. Also take part in his creative process as you play through interactive sections depicting the story he's attempting to write.

Forgotten Fields is a warm, cozy game about nostalgia, creativity, appreciating the present, and the passage of time - a meditation on impermanence and the shortness of life.
