addedYou asked, we listened! We changed up a number of things in the game- we're super in love with this new version and we hope you check out the update. There's a lot of new stuff to explore even if you've already played through!
addedMac version The game is now available on Mac! A PC/Mac release was our original intent so we're super pleased to offer the Mac version of the game.
addedUpdated stories Betty has a heck of a lot more to say now- about pizza making, her shop, and more (could she have a secret love interest??). She says something new every time you talk to her- sometimes silly, sometimes serious- but she has been updated to be one chatty character with a lot of history! We've also gone much more in-depth on the conversations for all the customers- you learn a lot more about their lives and backstories, and we re-wrote some of their personalities and interests. Randy is my favorite turnaround- I disliked him quite a bit at the start, and now he's one of my favorite characters.
addedConversations We've also added in some fun new multiple choice conversations- it's not just all about the characters anymore, now you can add your input to the conversation!
changedDelivery Logic System Rework We were finding players would get repeats of the same characters, and not get to see some of the other characters at all (Tragic! Everyone must meet Lucy!). So we changed up the delivery algorithm so players get to talk to every character in the game- although you may have to beat the game on hard mode to hear the end to everyone's stories!
addedDifficulty Through a long series of decisions we decided to remove Easy mode- the new delivery logic will allow you to play on Normal without too much stress. We also locked up Hard mode- you have to beat the game on Normal first!
