Update 0.5.8
Two things people asked for, one thing nobody asked for but needed doing.
🔊 Separate volume sliders
SETTINGS now has three sliders instead of two ON/OFF switches:
- MUSIC — the soundtrack
- SOUND FX — stingers, menus, cryptid screams
- KEY CLICKS — the typewriter clatter as text prints
They change live while you drag, remember themselves between runs, and clicking a label mutes that channel. Your old ON/OFF settings carry over.
📖 Choices only mention things that actually happened
The forest used to offer "eat another glowing fruit" when you had never eaten one, "scream for help (again)" on your first scream, and "rebuild your sandcastle" in a library. 55 of those choices have been rewritten so every option follows from what you can see or have just done at that spot. 11 places now mention the things their choices point at — the question-marked golf ball at the start, the rubber chicken, the giant pretzel, the sundials, the trail of buttery crumbs, the pancakes that spell HOME — and the lines that follow each pick were updated to match.
🗺️ Carried over from 0.5.7
If you skipped the last update: the MAP chip is now a readable radial atlas of where you've been. Only paths you've walked are drawn, shortcuts are dashed, and dotted stubs mark exits you haven't tried yet.
Still true
95 ways for a run to end. 20 of them get you home. 11 cryptids, each survivable if you're carrying the right folklore. 10 achievements, now properly wired to Steam.
Found a line that doesn't follow from the one before it? That's a bug. Tell us in the forums and it will get fixed.
Sleep tight. Eventually.
