Hello, hoomans! ːcathspawː
One of the main pieces of feedback we received was that backtracking felt too time consuming, and having to repeatedly retrace your steps between rooms became tedious.
To address this, we’ve added a quick-travel capsule to the game, available at key locations across the planet.

We believe this update will make quests flow much more smoothly. ːwinkycatː

Over the past week, we’ve also introduced a number of quality-of-life improvements (you can read about all of them here). In our latest patches, we’ve added this new quick-travel feature, improved the unlocked door system, introduced new map icons, enhanced performance, and revised some dialogue that was appearing outside of the dialogue box in some languages.

We believe the game feels much smoother now, and we hope you enjoy these changes. ːfofino2ː
But that’s not all. We also feel the game would benefit from a quest tracking system, making it easy to check at any time what has been completed, what still needs to be done, and where to go next.

This wasn’t part of the game’s original structure, so it will take some time to implement, but we’ve already started working on it.

Thank you again for your patience. ːfofinoː

Love and purrs,

• Added silhouettes for all inventory items to make it clear when something is still missing

• Added a “How to Play” section to the main menu

• New dialogue when clicking on locked doors and the tank

• Removed the train shake effect, which was causing motion sickness for some players

• Added an OpenGL option for older PCs

• Replaced the hint icon with a magnifying glass

• Fixed an issue where the pipe puzzle sometimes didn’t recognize the correct solution

That’s all for today. Tomorrow we’ll continue working on performance improvements, dialogue adjustments, and ways to better guide players throughout the game.
