Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent the Sheriff Brutality achievement from being awarded.*

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent Sheriff Bruality's death animation from playing.

  • Fixed an issue that would cause Gundead to rapidly flip direction while a player was standing beneath them.

  • Fixed issues that would prevent Gundead from shooting.

  • Gundead no longer jog on the spot.

  • The soul scale is now frozen while spectralised, as intended.

  • Fixed an issue that would prevent chore and status effect information from being displayed on the inventory UI.

  • The item drop circle now disappears properly when closing the inventory UI.

  • Inventory UI description area is now cleared when the inventory is reopened, preventing old information from lingering.

  • Fixed issues with settings menu navigation on controller.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented certain objects from shining while in the street.

  • Fixed an issue that stopped spectral doors from being removed properly when destroyed.

  • Fixed the positioning of the lamp outside Brainsburys.

  • Fixed an issue that would make it difficult to shoot enemies next to a poltergeist pedestal.

  • Enemies can no longer walk on top of safes.

  • Infinite ammo in the Ethereal Rift is no longer prevented by an empty weapon.

  • Fixed an issue that made it impossible to spawn enraged souls after reloading a game.

  • If you defeated Sheriff Bruality and were not granted the achievement, it should now be awarded to you the next time you load your save.

Improvements:

  • Tutorial now says "swipe all three dummies at once" for further clarity.*

  • New sound effect for attempting to fire a weapon with no ammo.

  • Made Brainsbury's shop floor healing station more intuitive.

  • New sound effects for Sheriff Brutality.

  • New setting to disable the soul scale warning border.

  • Spectralisation abilities are now clearly divided into three Soul Status Effects:

    • Spectral Phasing

    • Spectral Slow

    • Soul Freeze

  • We are also in the process of creating an animation which we hope will make the concept of melee swiping clearer.

Thank you once again for your continued feedback. We are currently trying to make improvements to the soul scale tutorial alongside fixing bugs, so expect to see more updates soon! - The Mindmoss Team
