Hello!
This is AIXLAB, developers of Forbidden Art.
After almost 4 months of early access, we are finally releasing the full game on Monday, March 25, 2024 at 00:00(PST)!
We've summarized and incorporated feedback from players during the Early Access period.
We've also prioritized usability updates to make it easier for players to immerse themselves in the game.
NEW PUZZLES
In response to feedback that there weren't enough puzzles, we've added a few more puzzles per zone. Players who previously completed the game on Early Access are welcome to try the new puzzles again!
ENVIRNONMENT UPDATES
Brightened the lighting a bit in areas where it was not necessary to use a light source for the game's design intent.
Added some background elements.
Added a killer's animation.
ADDED WRITABLE DIARY
While it is possible to solve all puzzles without taking notes, we have added note-taking to speed up some sections and for overall player enjoyment and convenience.
OTHER FIXED AND ADJUSTMENTS
- Fixed footstep sounds to sound more natural.
- Fixed an issue where players in 'crouch' mode would have to drop lower than shown when passing through height restricted areas.
- 'Quick turn' could sometimes cause objects to collide and trigger the sound detector, causing the player to game over. 'Quick turn' no longer cause object collision sounds.
- Fixed a bug where players could grab important items in their inventory through walls.
- Fixed the sound detector in the office reacting to the sound of the gramophone in the office (this shouldn't cause a game over, but was causing some players to question it).
- Changed the save system in J's room to fix an issue that caused certain puzzles to be repeated over and over again.
- Fixed candles placed on maps to better catch fire.
- Changed options such as Quick turn and sound settings to persist when the game is turned off and on.
We hope to provide you with the best quality possible when you play Forbidden Art.
Feedbacks on the game are always welcome.
Thank you!
