Hello agents! Splittown 1.1 Update is here
This is a major update with bug fixes and improvements across the whole game (including a completely new tutorial system, a bunch of work on puzzle flow, sequencing, and adjustments to the Otis DLC content).
These adjustments were made possible by your feedback, reviews and gameplay videos. We truly appreciate each of you who has reached out to make Splittown play even better!
Patch 1.1 will break old save games!
Because of the scope of the changes in 1.1, save games from earlier versions might not be fully compatible with this update.
What this means in practice:
Your existing saves will load in 1.1 but the game will throw a warning and ask you to restart from a previous chapter using the Chapter menu (or starting a new game).
You can attempt to continue, but do this at your own peril.
If you were mid-chapter, expect to replay some of that chapter. But you’ll be on the fixed version of the game going forward!
This sucks, we know! But these changes let us address a loooong list of issues (see below) instead of applying more band-aids.
Build 1.1 has been visited by the donkey of misfortune.
