Hey, everybody!

First off, we want to say thank you for playing the Prologue and giving it a Very Positive rating in just five days. We're so happy you can finally get your hands on it, and we can't wait to share the full game with you as well.

As you may imagine, putting the Prologue out brought a few technical issues to our attention. We of course tested it thoroughly, but the sheer number of players and different hardware setups that have run Lacuna over the past few days is unprecedented. We also added little extra bits of polish here and there. (:

We hope the update ensures an even smoother experience. If you still encounter one of the issues below or a different bug, please let us know here in the forum or send us an e-mail: support[at]digitales.games

Best,
Julian
