Note: these fixes have only been applied to Windows and Mac machines! Unfortunately when I tested this new version on Linux I experienced a game-breaking rendering glitch. I'm going to try and pin down what caused it, but in the meantime I don't want Win and Mac users to have to wait on these improvements.
- added resolution options, AA, Vsync, you can even manually set the target frame rate
- R-1982 being sent to maintenance will now yield the correct epilogue text
- Savegames are no longer deleted upon finishing the game; the save will stick around and you can revisit it later to review the epilogue texts for all characters.
- Fixed RO-334's line saying you had 15 minutes; this didn't match the true timer. Timings have been tweaked and the text corrected.
- Fixed issue where variables were not being set in certain aftermath scenes, causing incorrect epilogue texts.
- You can now delete saved games
- Behind the scenes fix: reorganised how game logs are kept
Androids may dream of electric sheep,but perhaps they dream of so much more.
Silicon Dreams is a game of conversation and interrogation; trust and betrayal.
It’s the future. Everyone has an android: a realistic robot servant. But what happens when those servants disobey, or become a bit too independent?
It’s your job to interview those malfunctioning androids and decide what to do with them. You’ll gain their trust, learn their secrets and come to understand their lives - their struggles in a world that treats them as devices to be consumed. You’ll analyze and manipulate their emotions to get at the truth. For these androids, the stakes are huge: the report you file could be the difference between freedom and getting shut down.
But you’re at risk too: your employer does not tolerate mistakes. Will you sell out these free-thinking androids, or feed your bosses false information to try and save them?
