Repeated intro

Hey Obduction players, We released a patch yesterday, and we had some reports of broken save files, which gave us a good scare. We reverted, and tried to figure out what happened.

The result

we're unable to reproduce the issue in-house. So in order to allow access to the most current version of the game and still be a bit careful about it, we've created a "Public Preview" beta section on Steam - open to everyone. This section will have the next update before it goes to the main section. Anyone who has Obduction can join this Public Preview section to get a head-start on the upcoming fixes, and help us find any oddities that might have slipped by. We think our releases are pretty solid, BUT, there is always a possibility that using the updates in the Public Preview section may break your game, ruin your save, burn down your house, and put holes in your socks. Still want to try? The public preview can be accessed by right-clicking the Obduction entry in your Steam games list, going to the 'BETAS' tab in the pop-up window, and selecting the entry 'publicpreview-'. You will get the update.

BUT, please be aware

There is a very slight possibility that this could break your save and disappoint your pets. Do not change to the public preview if you're in a critical spot in game or you have no idea what we’re talking about. If you decide to join the Public Preview, we really want to hear from you. Tell us your experiences, ESPECIALLY anything you find broken after the update. Please toss us an email with any info on what you've run into at support@cyan.com. We might not get right back to you right away, but we promise, we're reading every single thing that comes in. This really helps! Thanks again everyone. We’re blown away by the reception we've seen for the game and hope to keep improving Obduction for everyone. -Rand
