Cave Crawlers, here is the first post release patch, we're still investigating on some issues that need time to solve, but here are fixes and first additions :
BugFixes :

The player will no longer spawn as a creature in the in-game menu
We fixed a problem where players were unable to unpossess creatures after saving under creature and then loading back
We added the Haptic turn on/off feature
Subtitles will no longer be hovered by HUD indicators (such as sprint/dash)
We balanced the in game voice acting as it was too weak, it now be a lot more audible
We fixed the damage sound taken when hit by light with Axolotl & Rodent, causing them to repeat every frame causing a very loudy weird noise
Known Issues :

Sadly, on some cases, player may still encounter deathchains, we're working on it and reducing their numbers
A weird camera rotation can be applied if you're saving in animal form and then coming back (to solve, until we fix it, you can unpossess the creature / repossessing a new one)
Some voices and subtitles may be not correctly synchronized
The demo will be updated with a new available area replacing the previous one, more restricted, but more passable for players.
The team is still working on other issues in the meantime, just for you to know, we'll deploy a new patch every two weeks, one minor (like this one) and one major, at the beginning of each months. Thank you for your patience!🙏

Cavecrawlers, we're rolling out an update on Steam, addressing some changes :

New & Easier possession mechanic : we improve visual feedbacks and simplified the mechanic, now you need to orient the controller in the right direction and the blue orb will turn on & your controller haptic will be activated.
We're aware that the previous model was really difficult to understand, that's why we also added a quick explanation of the new model on the first creature encounter.
Shadow update & improvement on Zone 3 aerial part (called Feather Way) : we still have an issue with shadows displaying only on one eye, we're working on it as hard as we can.
Steam Achievements should now be properly unlocked.
Collisions and breaches fixed.
The team is still working on other issues in the meantime, we'll deploy a new patch tomorrow, thanks you for your patience!🙏

Stelaes
Those weirdly shaped blocks are kinda sentient. Touching them will animate them briefly, and you'll hear wispers from the past. Old stories long forgotten, testimonies from a long time ago are told trough them. Crafters of those stelaes are long time gone, but some of their tales

Nightrunner
Lurking in the shadows, hidden in the bushes, nightrunners are solitary hunters. Preying on small creatures, notably the rat, they walk silently, getting closer before jumping on their prey. Once they got a prey in sight, they gave him a chase for a bit, and if you don't flee fas

Canyons and Bugfixes!
Those arid cliffs are the canyons, the only part of the overworld you'll probably see. Once there, the sun will be your main concern. Shadows are scarce, and your only allies will be the birds. Using them to get to the other side of the canyon will be your main objective in this

The Bird
Stuck in front a deep chasm with no where else to go? The birds can give you an hand or, you know a wing... Flying over the fast emptiness of canyon, free from any sort of danger... except from direct sunlight. You only have limited time flying, because your health drops quickly

Moray Eels
Those bony fishes swim in the deeper parts of the underwaters parts of the caves. Hunting for axolotls and fishes, their predatory instincts fortunately lack the intelligence to check alguaes and the flora. Using this to their advantage, axolotls can survive another day. Their da

Axolotls
Mostly hidden in algaes or corals, our amphibian friends are the fastest swimmers in the underground tunnels. Brightly colored, cute and friendly, Axolotls can be found on the shores of the water filled caves, safe from the dangerous moray eels, their natural predators. To escape
