Dear inmates,

Thank you for your continued support and feedback!

Here are the patch notes for this update:

Optimizations & Adjustments:

  • Improved the loading speed when using Memory Recall, with a faster loading animation and removal of scene information display.

  • Optimized performance in sewer-related scenes.

  • Adjusted the Befriended condition. You must now befriend a prisoner before you can deepen your understanding of them.

  • Adjusted the trigger time for Thomas’s monologue when already befriended in Start New Game+. It can now be triggered on Day 1.

  • Improved collision detection for the package cart on the first floor of the prison.

  • Added the method to claim the Artbook in the DLC Bundle Guide on the main menu.

  • Adjusted the method of claiming items from the package cart. The cart will now display a maximum of 100 item records at a time. After collecting items, reopening the cart will refresh and show the remaining items.

  • Adjusted the UI layout of the Memory Recall (Load/Save) feature to improve the visibility of the New Save button.

  • Adjusted the save logic in Fenra’s chapter. Automatic Memory Recall saves will no longer be generated during this chapter.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a softlock issue that occurred after helping prisoners play cards in the General Building when time passed 5:30 PM.

  • Fixed an issue where placing a Toothbrush Shank under Hakuna ’s bed would show time consumption but did not actually consume time.

  • Fixed an issue where the Black Panther escape cutscene with Fenra would get stuck in the operating room.

  • Fixed an issue where players could challenge Crunchy in the hospital.

  • Fixed an issue where entering the hospital examination room by guessing the password would result in a prompt saying the player had no password upon exit.

  • Fixed abnormal door behavior for the Church Lounge and the Staff Block cleaning room.

  • Fixed an issue where weapons with cutting traits could not use combat skills, specifically the Holy Sword.

  • Fixed an issue where invisible walls appeared around chairs in the cafeteria.

  • Fixed a text display issue where speaking to the guard in the Staff Block and going to the infirmary would result in garbled text.

  • Fixed an issue where having the Iron Throne skill would prevent stamina gain when using the toilet in certain locations.
