Original postYou can now press Shift+H to hide the entire interface mid-game—and snap those beautiful screenshots!
To bring the interface and text back, simply press Shift+H again.Minor fixes:
- Tony’s cracks no longer multiply at their own discretion
- In the old town library, points of interest do not overlap with the diary icon anymore

We’re elbows deep in that sound overhaul, and it’s shaping up great! =)
Developer postPatch #4
We’ve added an “Extra QTE time” option to the settings: it gives you x300 more time to complete each QTE. After some thorough consideration, we decided against introducing an auto-skip for QTEs: there are situations in the game when you need to make a choice under a time constrai
Original postWe’ve added an “Extra QTE time” option to the settings: it gives you x300 more time to complete each QTE.
After some thorough consideration, we decided against introducing an auto-skip for QTEs: there are situations in the game when you need to make a choice under a time constraint, and we wouldn’t want to make that choice for you. =)) But the time extension should do!
Minor fixes:
- Iris now handles her glass of whisky more carefully
- Iris and Johnny now enjoy a few snacks as they drink the whisky
- Dora no longer tries to teleport the player to previously visited bus stops
We continue working on the sound overhaul, gradually adding new musical themes for the characters, and we’re considering introducing a photo mode, too.
