The next update 1.8 is here, and with it comes a long awaited and frequently asked-for feature: Steam Achievements!
The full changeling is below.
Steam Achievements!
I implemented a set of 59 achievements, all dealing with different parts of the game and providing a unique challenge. Once you update your game, it’ll try to unlock all those achievements that you may have achieved even before. Unfortunately not everything was backed by gameplay data collection before this version, so not all parts can be unlocked right away. Just keep on going then! Can you unlock all of them?
Game Lore
Also for those interested in the lore of the game, the Knowledge Archive received a major upgrade, with a total of nearly 100 entries available now that will be unlocked throughout the game. Either because you visit certain locations, progress further through the game, or receive them as mission rewards.
Hope you enjoy!
