We'd love for you to give it a try! Please let us know how it feels, and if anything is confusing, unexpected, or needs improving. In addition to the major controller update, we've also been hard at work improving the game, fixing bugs, and making QoL fixes based on feedback.

  • Fixed an issue where trying to fish inside your house could cause the game to crash.

  • Fixed an issue where turning off VSync on Linux could cause the game to crash.

  • Added performance monitoring near the start of the game, with an option to send a performance report if performance drops too low.

  • Added new map markers to show repairable structures more clearly in order to reduce confusion around various repair tasks and where the carpentry table is.

  • Updated NPC map markers so all NPC portraits are shown instead of hiding NPCs (e.g. Imhotep and Nofreti) under the quest "?" marker when quests are active.

  • Added tooltip explanations for Reciprocity and Memories to address feedback that it wasn't clear how to get them.

  • Made fishing slightly easier by letting fish swim toward your lure from farther away. Fishing should feel a bit less frustrating, and fish should swim away from your lure less often.

  • Added an indicator for when fish start swimming toward your lure. This way you'll know right away if you landed the lure close enough.

  • Added NPC animations when you buy something from them.

  • Added content gates for some tokens that will be given to you later, so you don't accidentally buy them too early.

  • Fixed an issue where Anuk's fish could be hidden while she was walking around.
