🧩 1899: Secrets of the Maze v0.1.4.3 Update is Live!
🎯 Highlights:
🌐 Font Fixes for Asian Languages
Font issues in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean have been fixed.
However, some UI elements — especially those showing Q (Examine) and E (Use) prompts — may still display incorrectly.
No font problems were found in story-related notes. All tested both in the editor and on Steam builds.
💾 Autosave System Added
The game now features an autosave system. Reaching certain coordinates will trigger automatic saving, helping players avoid major progress loss after unexpected deaths.
🛠️ Steam DRM Issue Resolved
An issue caused by Steam DRM that prevented the game from launching correctly for some users has been fixed.
🚪 Quit Button Exit Bug Fixed
An issue that caused problems when exiting the game via the Quit button has been resolved. The game now exits cleanly.
🔮 Coming Soon in v0.1.4.4:
🧧 Story-Linked Items Will Gain Unique Abilities
Certain key items tied to the story will receive special functions — similar to the lantern mechanic.
These items include:
🪓 Axe
🔪 Knife
🔥 Lighter
🎒 Inventory Balance & Lantern Limitation
The number of excessive inventory items will be reduced.
Lantern fuel will now be limited to a maximum of 3.
This change is being made because the lantern currently acts as an extremely powerful defensive tool.
With it, you can survive even if 40 zombies attack you at once — and this will now be rebalanced.
🧟♂️ Increased Zombie Density
The number of zombies will be increased between coordinates A1 and A9-9, making those areas more challenging and intense.
🧍♂️ NPC Count & Placement Adjustments
NPC count will be increased between coordinates E9-9 and E1.
Their positions will be strategically reorganized.
Some NPCs will become immune to bullets, encouraging players to explore alternative strategies.
🪓 New Special Function for the Axe
To deal with bullet-immune NPCs, the axe will gain a unique effect or interaction mechanic.
This will give players new tactical options during encounters.
