!!brief clarifications!!

  • Why do we change the game name?

The game can get more audience by using such a trick, it is also worth it. Regalis (Joonas Rikkonen) allowed us to do such.

  • How to export rooms now? I can't load in game with old one's....

We modified RMESH, now it has new parameters for spotlight, point light and some other useful settings. Just update it to the new one! Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pj4h1u_EPjaHnRyoG-ttZ4_8_TFXUwcM/view?usp=sharing

  • how can I get the old graphics? I really don't like the new graphics..

Sadly, there's no way to return to the old graphics. You can achieve old lookalike by setting everything to low and enabling SSAO

  • the game doesn't launch. What should I do?

First of all, check your DirectX runtime package (2010) installation. If it's on the place, check the FAQ, it has a ton of useful fixes for such problems. If nothing helps you, we can assist you in support channel in Discord.
