This is of course a temporary solution while we work on a more permanent one. We apologize for the inconvenience.

And now, time for the patch notes:

BUGFIXES

  • Controller sticks can now be used during keyboard prompts that appear when you need to enter text (eg. naming your cat); previously, only d-pad was available

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent the player from swapping tabs in menus with a controller

  • Fixed an issue that could cause statue riddles to be impossible to complete

  • Using a Nectar on Insect Hotel now correctly displays its duration

  • Added “Controls” tab to Options on Steam Deck

  • Added three new Vsync settings: FPS lock at 120, 144 and 240 (note that Frame Generation generates additional frames, so if you turn it ON, you might see the game go over the limit you set)

  • You can now pick up a Wardrobe

Best Regards, Enjoy Studio team
