Updates

• Extended Seasons. The seasons of Confessions and Yule are both twice as long: fourteen days instead of seven.

• Pacing changes to the opening quests to help new players focus on the elements that are essential to take on board before proceeding with the second act: census taking and storycrafting

• You will no longer be invited to dismiss ‘economy quests’ at the end of the season of Confessions, such as census taking.

• Now, during the storycrafting tutorial, Archie will ask you to demonstrate the correct way to progress your investigation by using unknowns elements in your stories.

• After Archie’s arrest, it is now much clearer that there are multiple ways to save him

• All characters will now be up for helping you with the investigation as a matter of course

• You can also now take your murder theories to Harjit as a free action.

Narrative bug fixes

• In the event you have arranged multiple back-up plans for rescuing Archie, the likeliest rescue will now take precedence over the contenders.

• Archie is no longer allowed conjugal visits in your attic after he has been arrested.

• It is no longer possible to attempt a certain Rubbery conjoining more than once.

• Several typos and grammatical errors have been fixed.

Tech bug fixes

• Resolutions settings now update correctly when launching the game in windowed mode, and prevent a sporadic crash experienced when loading new scenes.

• On Steam and GOG sigils are now unlocked correctly when playing offline, allowing players to access additional backgrounds after completing the game. This change will follow on Epic in a future patch.
