There's a new update available on Steam for Windows and Linux! This update includes more music throughout the game, work on existing content, changes to how hints work to better support controllers, and a new achievement!

Content

There have been some changes to the underground archeological dig site in chapter 3, along with some small details added to the sewers from chapter 2.

Music

Music has been added to several locations around Act II, with music loops now used in the prelude, the office level, the forest level, and the archeological dig site. This allows music to loop in one area, and to smoothly transition when you move to a different area.

New Achievement

After many players asked for it, there's now an achievement for depositing the fisherman's ducks into his bath in the prelude!

Hint Overhaul

The prelude now has a lot more hints, including some reminders around how to interact with objects and pick them up. The hint display now shows an icon for keys rather than simply the text, and has support for Xbox One/360 controller icons.

The controls menu has been tweaked too to use the new hint icons, so the experience is consistent throughout the game. The control names are now localisiable too!

Other Changes

• "Jump assist" has been removed in favour of increasing the height that the player can jump
  
• Adds controller button for aiming (left trigger) and remaps crouch to face right (B on the Xbox controllers)
  
• Improvements to HUD damage indicators - if you are damaged from multiple directions, all directions will show on the HUD
  
• Bug fixes around save/restore since the previous build
