Hey, Steam community!

The Longest Walk V2.0 is now available to download and play! This version includes a variety of quality-of-life updates to improve the overall experience and performance for PC players and Steam Deck. Most notably, this update includes a new dynamic subtitle system, an optimised graphics setting, a main menu, and a pause menu.

I just wanted to say that I am extremely grateful for all your Let's Plays, kind reviews, and community posts about The Longest Walk. I hope that this update improves the experience for returning and future players.

Steam Deck

• The Longest Walk is now playable on Steam Deck! Please use the following settings for best performance and subtitle readability:
  - Subtitles: Standard
  - Graphics: Optimised
  

Main Menu

• A Main Menu has now been added to the game. This allows you to:
  - Toggle between two visual styles; Recommended (Point Cloud)/ Optimised (3D Models)
  - Toggle between Dynamic/Standard subtitles (Standard subtitles are now in a sans-serif font)
  

Subtitles

• There are now two subtitles systems. Dynamic subtitles appear within the world and lead you through the environment.
  

• Standard subtitles are displayed at the bottom of the screen in a sans-serif font.
  

Introduction

• Updates have been made to the introduction sequence when the game begins.
  - Updated content warning (Age Rating + Text)
  - Updated publisher logos (Somewhat Unsettling & Abertay Game Lab)
  - Logos and titles now scale correctly based on resolution
  

Pause Menu

• You are now able to pause the game at any point (excluding during scene transitions) to reflect or take a breather. This addition will improve the experience for Let's Players.
  - Toggle between Dynamic/Standard subtitles
  - A "Quit to Menu" option has been added to the Pause Menu
  

In-Game Control Prompt

• Added an in-game controller prompt that dynamically swaps between Keyboard & Mouse / Gamepad (Xbox) controls.
  

Framerate is now capped at 60fps

• The framerate is now capped at 60fps which should reduce performance issues.
  

V-Sync enabled by default

• V-sync is now enabled, which should mitigate any screen tearing issues.
  

Removed Steam VR Plugin

• Steam VR was not intended to be enabled. This has now been removed and should not open on game launch.
