Repeated intro

Hello! We've been super hard at work to bring you a sturdier experience and happy to announce patch 1 is available now! You may have to restart steam for it to download, and it weighs in around 100mb. The big headlines are working achievements in Episode 3 (Sorry about that!!) and a massive performance boost for Episode 4 across the board, so those having a rough experience should find it much more in line with the other episodes. We've also added the ability to reset your save file, or unlock all episodes. This is mainly for streamers, or those wishing to reset to let someone else start from scratch, and also those who may have played a few episodes elsewhere and want to skip to the next one right away. Remember though: Episodes are designed to be played in order, 1 to 4. No skipping if you haven't already finished one! Full list of fixes and changes below, and do let us know if you have any issues. Also, let us know if a critical issue you had been in touch about either by support or forum was fixed for you - some problems we couldn't reproduce but introduced some potential fixes for regardless. Finally, whilst we have some more things to fix here and there, we have had a few instances where peoples saves aren't unlocking the next episode properly. The only way we can reproduce this issue is by not having read/write privileges on the save file location (your user folder in windows). If you are still having issues, the current options (whilst we keep investigating) are: - reset steam (has worked for a lot of people) - disable cloud save (this should rely on the local save file if there is a conflict) - unlock all episodes via the options menu and move ahead that way Enjoy! Patch 1.102

Patch 1.102
addedAdded an unlock all episodes button in the options screen (this is only to be used if you’ve had issues with Steam cloud sync and can’t unlock an episode to progress)
addedAdded a “Reset Save” option for those wishing to reset their progress and appearance of main menu to factory settings (useful for streamers)
changedQuality Options now sensibly named and setup – High is recommended, but if you struggle with performance, drop it down to medium or low. *We recommend lowering resolution before lowering quality for best experience*
addedCamera compensation added for those playing in 5:4 or 4:3 aspect ratios. The text to the left is no longer cropped but you naturally lose some of the scene to the right. For the best experience we recommend playing widescreen windowed if running a 4:3 or 5:4 display
removedCan no longer see outside the game area in Episode 4
