A new update is live for the free demo and the full game (launching October 27). Thank you to everyone who played and sent feedback.
Clearer investigation
- Night alibis now line up with the incidents they describe, so the contradictions you find are the real ones.
- Early guidance points you to crew you have not talked to yet, and no longer presents yesterday's incidents as fresh leads.
- When two accounts cannot be resolved, the Case File now says why: they are about different people, or the times do not overlap.
- Daytime sightings now say they happened during the day.
- The opinion menu now names the crewmate whose opinion you are asking for.
- When you run out of questions for the day, the game shows whose night account you can still hear.
- On Day 2, the Site 7 hint only appears when it actually applies.
Votes and endings
- The Day 1 practice vote no longer leaves a false memory of someone being removed.
- Vote reasons are easier to read.
- Captain tie results now name the tied crew and explain how the tie was settled.
- The ending shows one coloured crew list with each person's side and fate.
Less reading, better lines
- Shorter text on several screens: work records, public defence, camera and badge records, and the ending.
- Eight crew lines rewritten to sound more natural, with more to come.
- Clearer help text for Thaw players.
- Repeated breakfast reactions now appear once.
Look, languages and controls
- New games avoid repeating a face while an unused portrait of the same gender is available.
- Movement keys now work by position on AZERTY and other non-QWERTY keyboards.
- Case File buttons no longer overlap or spill outside the frame in longer languages.
- Japanese and Chinese crew name headings display correctly, French punctuation spacing is fixed, and German wording is improved.
- The title screen shows the name placeholder correctly.
Steam Next Fest starts Monday, October 19. The free demo covers the first three days. Deep Frost launches October 27; wishlist it to be notified.
