Update v1.0.2 is now live. Based on your feedback, we have focused on reducing misleading elements (red herrings) and clarifying puzzle clues to ensure a smoother gameplay experience.

Here are the details:

Puzzle Clarity & Balance

  • Date Format Guide (ISO 8601): We have covered specific numbers in the document to prevent them from being mistaken for a separate puzzle code.

  • Morse Code GuideThe Morse code document has been moved to Floor 6201 . We have also adjusted it to make the connection to the puzzle more intuitive.
  • Note Under the DeskThe highlight in the note found under the desk has been changed from "Science Lab Mannequin" to just " Mannequin " to clarify the intended target.
  • Factory Mannequin: Interacting with the mannequin now provides a text description of the number on its forehead to prevent confusion between '1' and '7'.

  • Factory SafeAdded hints to clarify that " both hands " are required to solve the puzzle.
  • Stair PuzzleAdded a narrative text upon success to clearly indicate that the hospital door has opened.
  • Factory FBX Phone (Ext. 99)Added a narrative text to extension 99. Note: This is still not related to any puzzle! We just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.
  • Phil's Diary (1)Added emphasis to the phrase " must be done twice at the end ."
  • Obstetrics RecordAdded emphasis to the text regarding the " expected delivery at 40 weeks ."

System & Visuals

  • Skip Prompt: A "Press any key to continue" prompt will now appear during documents or narrative sequences where skipping is possible. (We prioritized functionality for this update; UI design improvements will follow later.)

  • Factory Iron DoorAdded a CCTV object in front of the interactable iron door in the Factory to make it more noticeable.

Thank you for your feedback and support!
