Repeated intro

Hello everyone! Tomorrow is the big day: Steam Next Fest begins. Over the past couple of weeks, a few brave content creators have been testing an early version of the demo, and their feedback has been invaluable in polishing the experience. I want to give a special shoutout to ExplodinBeef. During his run, a card mysteriously vanished from the table, preventing him from finishing the game. At first, I honestly thought it was the Joker bending the rules to force a surrender... but it turned out to be a real bug involving the undo button and the stock-to-deck pass! I also want to send a huge thank you to AllyReggie. While she didn't encounter any game-breaking bugs, watching her playthrough helped me spot and fix several dialogue translation errors that had slipped through the cracks.

addedAdded Joker commentary for F1.

"Oh, how delightfully naive. You truly believe a few lines of code will save them? ExplodinBeef was so wonderfully close to giving up... it is a pity you intervened. But please, do continue 'fixing' your little game. It only makes your inevitable surrender so much more entertaining. I will be right here, waiting for you to leave me in peace."

Patch Notes v0.091:

  • Prevented invalid undo after stock-to-deck pass (Klondike rule compliance).

  • Fixed dialogue translation errors and gated dialogue lines by game state (e.g., Lowerveil/shop discovery checks).

  • Corrected win/game-over Joker angry state so he no longer gets stuck silently.

  • Fixed intermittent missing hint dialogue from the Joker.

  • Added Joker commentary for F1.

  • Updated Jack of Spades guidance (clock/coin actions, Sigils, deck icon instructions).

  • Improved Veil Sigil tooltip descriptions.

  • Added clearer Sigil-selection prompts and empty-selection feedback.

  • Verified tutorial achievement flow and first-awakened achievement behavior.

  • Moved memories music to effects channel and localized “Exit” in Spanish.

The demo is polished and ready for tomorrow. If the idea of Inscryption meets Balatro with a deep narrative appeals to you, remember to wishlist Alonitaire and prepare to awaken the cards. See you at Steam Next Fest!
