Hey everyone,
We’ve been closely monitoring player feedback, livestreams, Steam reviews, and much more over the past few days to continue identifying areas for improvement. Some of these areas include ongoing puzzle flow changes, and updates to the clarity of Subliminal’s narrative. We’re glad that the previous changes have had a positive impact on your experiences, and we will continue to improve upon these over the next few weeks!
Speaking of future updates, we want to share a quick look at what’s coming next down the development pipeline. Below is a brief roadmap outlining Subliminal’s next three planned updates:
In the short term, our focus is mainly on final revisions to puzzle difficulty and overall gameplay quality. Additionally, we are beginning a more targeted narrative overhaul that will expand upon the pre-existing storyline to add much needed clarity.
Patch 1.0.2 focuses on further puzzle difficulty adjustments based on player feedback. While the last patch helped a lot, there are still many areas for improvement. We’ve significantly improved the general puzzle flow and difficulty ramping throughout the episode in this patch. Every puzzle has been improved in some capacity, with a few being entirely rebuilt to serve the overall gameplay experience better. Additionally, hints have been increased and placed more conveniently for ease of access.
Patch 1.0.3 will begin an initial phase of narrative enhancements to improve the storytelling.
Update 1.1 will expand on this with a much more substantial narrative overhaul. We’ll be reconstructing quite a bit regarding how the story is delivered to the player, diving deeper into the untapped truths within Caleb’s memories. We hope you will enjoy this update.
✨ Developer Note:
Thank you very much for exploring Subliminal with us. These changes are only the beginning. The team here at Accidental Studios is fully locked in on executing this roadmap and delivering the polished, mind-bending experience you’ve all been expecting. We will continue to iterate and refine our game's experience with each update.
Cheers,
Accidental Studios
