Well, well, well, look at this. You thought we forgot about updates, but nooooo... All of us were still working hard to put ASYLUM in pristine shape!
This is a sizable changelist. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's the sum of the parts what matter this time around. There's got to be something you were looking for. All the reports you sent have been taken into account and addressed. We're very close to tackling pretty much all (yes, ALL) of them!
The update today is particularly noteworthy because it marks the last of our localization tweaks. All 11 languages should be in top shape now. However, please do let us know if you bump into any other inconsistencies or typos.
Also, lots of people have been writing to say how much they enjoyed the game. Thank you very, very much for those kind words! There's still a good deal of discussion about the story and conclusion, so be sure to check out the Steam forums for a number of tips in that long thread. Fans are still discovering nuances and different interpretations. It's not all about cosmic horror, y'know.
New: Language fixes across the board! So many of them it boggles the mind! As promised, we revised all 10 localizations besides English and everything should be in good shape now. If you do spot more stuff that needs our attention, please let us know.
New: When using a gamepad, the ubiquitous B button now turns back menu pages and puts it down when you're back at the index. This might seem like a minor thing, but it's a pretty cool usability improvement for those of you who check your records often.
Fix: No more oversized hand cursors. Some of you were experiencing large hands under certain resolutions. We thought you liked big hands, but clearly we were mistaken. For the small group that enjoyed them (🙋), the big hands shall be dearly missed.
Fix: Better handling of available resolutions for you to choose from, now ordered properly in the list too. Those of you who love fiddling with our artistic vision will have a great time now. Weird resolutions begone.
Fix: Some text pop-ups in the menu, especially for perusing achievements on smaller screens, should now look and behave properly.
Fix: In fact, the whole menu should be more consistent now, no more funny stuff. Top notch UX. Ye, we use fancy words to make the changelist more impressive. But if you feel like the menu is still acting up, let us know and we'll sack the menu.
Fix: Bruno no longer says a bunch incorrect lines depending on when you speak with him. Naughty Bruno, he clearly needs a raise.
Fix: Also, fixed some occasional weird animations with Bruno. After all this time, the guy deserved some extra love.
Fix: More suitable first time settings when installing the game on the Steam Deck. Now when you're done fishing rare species in Cast n Chill you can come back to our cozy ASYLUM.
Fix: Volume levels should work correctly now. The menu will honor your settings. Or should. Heck, maybe the menu needs a raise too.
Fix: Some of you experienced an everlasting sound of water flowing, even after restoring saved games. But it's not you, that was a bug after all. Relax, you can leave the asylum.
Fix: Proper keyring sounds! The keyring you're carrying should make noises only when you have it in your inventory. Again, it wasn't you. That is, unless you're hearing strange noises when you quit the game. If that happens, please come back to the asylum.
Fix: The subcategory labels in the Library should make sense now. No, that wasn't a hidden clue. Please stop looking for hidden clues.
Fix: There was incorrect feedback when using the valve for the last time. It's no longer incorrect now. You could say it's... correct.
Fix: Potential crash when advancing to 3AM related to achievements and a poor DLL that for once wasn't our fault.
Fix: Menu no longer closes automatically when deleting a saved game. Apparently some of you hated this. We kind of enjoy annoying you, but in the end we're making a product under the established rules of capitalism and happy customers are fundamental for the vicious system to thrive.
Fix: There was a wrong feedback while looking at certain windows in the Chapel after a certain series of events transpired. Last time we checked they're no longer wrong.
Fix: There was yet another wrong feedback when manipulating certain items in the Museum. According to our intelligence reports, they're no longer wrong.
Fix: Similarly, solving a puzzle involving the Chapel should be less frustrating now. Again, happy customers, etc. etc.
Fix: Better interaction with reels in the Therapy Room, automatizing some of the process in case you want to watch those absorbing tapes over and over again.
Fix: Some texts in Russian were being cut off because of an improved font. Not anymore!
Mac: Better handling of fullscreen for you fans of Mac. This should be the very last specific Mac bug we have in our queue, unless something else comes up. Let us know!
Build string: version 1.2.3044 (test with CTRL + V).
