Recent Enhancements:

• The Face-to-Face T.V. Show episodes are no longer repeatable, making it more likely to see them all.

Patch Notes:

Note: Some Early Access requests are still in progress. I aim to add them as quality-of-life updates.

As I've worked hard to reach this point, hopefully I've earned your review, then go check out the previous update which added new opportunities for the player to discover. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1048860/view/542217277081125677

Final Thoughts

I felt like I could keep going and adding content forever, but I had to bring it to 1.0 eventually. The 1.0 update focuses mostly on bringing everything together in the time room, which will lead you to the games greatest secret. Previous (post-opportunity update) saved games should work. Although, I've only been able to test my own saved games. Yea, best to start over just in case.

My next update needs a larger player-base since it focuses on the community. Let's see how launch goes and take it from there!

Digital Artbook

A digital art book releases alongside the game. It includes work from the many artists who contributed to the backgrounds and characters. This fulfills the promise I made to my Kickstarter backers and will be delivered to them as you read this :)
