Sanguine Early Access Patch 1.1.4

Hello Watchers,

Patch 1.1.4 is now live! This update focuses on combat feel, control polish, and quality-of-life fixes following your feedback since Early Access launched. Let’s dive in:

⚙️ Gameplay Updates

Quick 180° Turn – Reworked & Improved

• The Quick Turn has been fully reworked and now includes a 10-second cooldown.

• A new UI indicator appears while the cooldown is active.

• When timed perfectly, the Quick Turn can now evade enemy grab attempts, adding tactical depth to close encounters.

• This system replaces the old version (which was previously disabled) that occasionally caused bonus speed glitches or allowed players to clip through geometry.

💬 “I’ve heard the feedback about needing a quick turn—totally agree. It just needed balance, and I think we’ve found that sweet spot. I’ll keep an eye on feedback and make further tweaks if needed.”

Documentation & UI Updates

• Updated Controls and Combat in-game documents to include Quick Turn notes.

• Updated Pause Menu control list and Controller Bindings image accordingly.

🧩 General Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed several localization lines that still referenced the demo; they now correctly mention Early Access.

• Added a slow blink effect to the keycard half near the car crash for better visibility.

• Slightly adjusted the keycard’s position to be more noticeable to players.

🕹️ Survivor Stories Updates

• Fixed the unwalkable corner near the Diner’s save shack area.

• Lowered the recycle return value on tools to prevent a potential time loop exploit.

• Updated the Total Clay Pots stat on the results screen to correctly display 24.

🔮 Coming Soon

Here’s a glimpse of what’s on the way in the next update:

• Additional animation polish for knife combat

• Five new achievements for Survivor Stories

• New audio lines for Survivor Stories and Jack’s character quips

• The long-awaited ending cutscene for the Early Access portion

"Audio for the ending is now complete — polishing and implementation are underway!"

❤️ Thank You

As always, I can’t thank you enough for all the feedback, reports, and encouragement. Every note helps make Sanguine stronger, and I’m deeply grateful for your continued support through Early Access.
