Steam Deck News + Small Update!

Steam Deck is Playable!

THE SPIRIT LIFT has already been played on Steam Deck by us and many of you! But now we have been reviewed by Steam and labeled "Playable"!

Here's the two issues they flagged:

• With on-screen arrows on, the game mentions "WASD" controls. Instead of these keyboard controls, you can use the left stick of your Steam Deck or touch the arrows on your screen.

• "Some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read"... this is true and we have it in our backlog to fix these issues! In the meantime, one of our players suggested setting the resolution in the game options to a higher resolution. See if it works for you!

After our planned work on controller support, we will return to Steam Deck verification to get that green check!

BUILD UPDATE: 5658

Here's the new patch notes:

• Fixed a bug in “Doing Research” event that caused it to always show the evidence file as not yet collected

• Updating Dorian’s Cufflinks Gear to apply to all shops encountered and not just the first one

• Updating Dorian’s Vest to only apply to purchases in the shop, and increased to +3 max health

• Renaming evidence title from “Masked” to “Local Legend”

• Moving the story event checkmark for finale flags to be in front of the key icon to match evidence

• Removed period from the end of certain run log messages for consistency (ex: “Healed X for skipping card upgrade”)

• Updating dialogue and wording in certain Story Events including fixing character replies that were out of order

Known Issues

A few of you have found some very unusual situations! Perhaps the game is haunted? If you are willing to tell us more, please fill out our form. Especially if you could include your email address; we would like to chat with you further! https://forms.gle/5PwwiRp79oNqrkW47

• Are you having trouble getting the last team win for the 56 teams challenge?

• Have you seen a "boss ghost child" on floor 7?

A Clue to Unlocking All Cards

We can see that some of you are playing for MORE THAN 50 HOURS?! One of us, one of us... Therefore, we suspect that you are hunting out every card in the game for that achievement. But there's one in particular that's hard to find as it's hidden behind a puzzle from one of our trailers:

If that puzzle is too puzzling, then perhaps this trivia will help! How many runs does it take to unlock Garnet? How many children did Ambrose Vexington have? How many attacks does a Tripod do? This sequence will lead you to an important date. To earn your daily bread, you'll need to find out what to do with it! And as for last week's trivia, the answer is... the number of teenagers caught up in THE SPIRIT LIFT! Unlike the above questions, though, this answer has nothing to do with the puzzle.

Until Next Time...

Your next update may take a little longer! We are cooking up something scary for those of you that need a challenge! Thank you for all the love! Keep spreading the word and writing those reviews! We're almost at 100!
