- Added Steam Cloud integration! Share your story state and progression between your computers.
- Added additional checkpoints.
- Reworked checkpoints system! All checkpoints are now stored in the checkpoints vault which you can access from the chest icon at the top. Jump back and forth if you want to play all the possibilities without restarting the game.
- Added transition between story and map. Added functionality to Center Player button (flag icon at the top) that will bring you to the map while in story mode. Clicking back on the player figure will open up the story.
- Added new hints and tips.
- Added explanation when selecting your troops that the amount of squads in a unit don't result in damage increase but rather in "HP" increase.
- Fixed issue with tedious scrolling of text that was already seen when you resume game.
- Fixed issue with dyslexic font rendering with too much white space.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me with constructive feedback and ideas.

Unknown Pleasures: This week s pick of new Steam releases
Winter has finally arrived in force in London, bringing with it some questions. Whose idea was it to live on the surface? Why would anyone wear a fleece without arms? What kind of monster thinks it’s okay to make a coat with fake pockets, and why didn’t everyone immediately kill
Original postWinter has finally arrived in force in London, bringing with it some questions. Whose idea was it to live on the surface? Why would anyone wear a fleece without arms? What kind of monster thinks it’s okay to make a coat with fake pockets, and why didn’t everyone immediately kill him with spears?
Alas, these are not questions that Unknown Pleasures can answer. But if your local mountaintop hermit has no idea what the best new Steam releases are, you’re in luck.
Lining our inexplicably porous gloves this week: liminal AIs, invisible mines, and gender critical spies.

Dear all,
A critical bug has been found and reproduced successfully by me on Mac OS X. Anyone who hits an area where there is an achievement is affected by the bug. The game "freezes" and you cannot progress any further. Neither 'Load Checkpoint', nor 'New Game'/'Resume Game' will fix it.
I apologize for the inconvenience! Working on a fix and I hope to upload one by the end of today.
