Hello, dreamers. The project has come throught a lot of changes during the last week and a half, thanks to all the feedback. One of the issues that was found right in the beggining was the overpowered Imagine mechanic, which could let you bypass everything without much thinking.

Version 0.08 - Smooth Platform Climbing / Bug Fixes

Hey, dreamers! It's been one week since Obscure - Challenge your Mind is on Early Access and I am so thankful for the support. I am trying to read all the feedback you are giving to me and I am making changes constantly. In this update, I present to you some fixes that you reported since day one.

Smooth Climbing - Not once you have reported that you always have to jump, no matter how high is the platform you are building. This is now fixed and using the Imagine is easier than ever.
No Cursor in the Pause Menu? - Not anymore! This bug is finally fixed.
Chapter 4 - The Change begins with a new puzzle and continuation of the story
Design changes in Options panel - I had to make more space, because in the next updates I will present to you some new options like Crosshair ON/OFF, CursorLock ON/OFF and more
That is all for Version 0.08. Keep in mind that these features are only tested by me. If you notice a problem with them, please report it to me. Thank you and I wish you a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello, dreamers! Today I want to present to you some new things, that I have been adding for the last couple of days.

Air Control - Now you can control yourself even when you are in the air jumping. This mechanic is still in early stages and if you find something that is wrong with it, please report it to me.
Crosshair - After locking the mouse cursor, I was advised that it would be nice to have a crosshair in order for the platform creating to be more accurate. Very soon I will add a button for on/off, because some of you may not be okay with this new feature.
Sound Effect Removal - After many reports that the platform sound is not okay when you are building, I chose to turn it off for now, until I manage to get a new, better one.
Bug Fixes - Of course, I fixed a few small bugs, such as texture flickering, culling problems, etc.
That is all for the new update. Thank you the support and I wish you an amazing new week!

Version 0.06 - Disappearing Terrain in "The Climb"
Hey, everyone! I watched some gameplay videos for the game these days and I noticed a bug that shows up during "The Climb". It was clear to me that the optimization process has being broken there and the player no longer knows what objects to deactivate in order to save memory. T
