A Place for the Unwilling - Patch #1

Hi!

We just uploaded a first patch correcting most of the issues reported by players. Keep in mind that you might need to restart Steam for the client to search for updates.

All the changes are listed below, but you can check the status of all the reports on our public trello board. We use it to track every bug report.

We'll keep updating things next week and we're working on implementing an option to customize keyboard layout. Don't forget we also have a Discord server in case you want to join us there as well.

Critical fixes:

  • Settings menu (video, audio, applying changes, etc) should now work as intended.
  • The shelves at Lucas' bookshop no longer freeze the game.
  • You should no longer be able to get stuck on the chair at Wallace's office.
  • The quest where you look after Harriet's children no longer glitches if you fail or bribe the children.
  • You are not required to press any keys once the credits end.
  • You can no longer keep walking while the dialogue interface is on screen after completing Lucas quest (rich quarter walk).

Lesser fixes:

  • Wallace now spends more time in his office (so it's easier to complete his quests).
  • Fixed some interactions with other props when an NPC is close to you.
  • Emily's quest no longer triggers if you haven't met her.
  • Objects at Lucas' bookshop no longer give information about Lucas if you haven't met him.
  • Main and pause menu can now be navigated using Enter and Escape.

Style changes:

  • An object at your home displayed "PLAYER:" on a dialogue (Only in Spanish).
  • One of Gail's conversations displayed "GAIL:" on screen during a dialogue (Only in Spanish).
  • Several typos in the English version ("aI've heard" instead of "I've heard", "MrWeston" instead of "Mr Weston", etc).
  • Reviewed pronoun customization (English version).

Issues reported by players that weren't related to the game:

  • Character is unresponsible and stops moving, this was fixed after updating controller drivers.
  • Game has very low FPS on a modern computer, this was fixed after updating computer drivers.

Watchlist (bugs we weren't able to trigger):

  • When waking up the first day (in the Spanish version) the text says "Día 2" instead of "Lunes, Día 1".
  • Talking to the council clerk freezes the game, we believe this was caused by using a save file from the beta, but we are waiting for confirmation from the player.

Have a great weekend! We hope you are enjoying the game. We'll have more upgrades ready next week.
