Dear Players,

After a few days of intensive work, we are ready to introduce the first patch for Inner Chains. We have listened to all the feedback from you and tried to fix as much as possible in this first update. It doesn't mean we're finished – we will continue working on improvements and definitely want to hear more of your feedback so please do not hesitate to share your suggestions or issues with us.

If Steam doesn't start the update automatically, please make sure to restart the application.

The improvements are:

Graphics

-V-Sync ON/OFF settings added.
-Antialiasing ON/OFF settings added.
-Motion blur ON/OFF settings added.
-Grain ON/OFF settings added.
-Chromatic aberration ON/OFF settings added.
-Medium graphics settings preset added.

Sound

-New sound effects added.

Controls

-Camera sensitivity settings added for mouse and gamepad.
-Camera invert settings added for mouse and gamepad.

Gameplay

-Melee tutorial added in Chapter II.
-Zombie speed movement is increased by 20% now.
-Enemies' reaction range is now increased.
-Enemies are now paralyzed for a shorter time period after being hit by electro gun.
-Electro gun now needs less time until you can shoot it again.
-The Boss fight now starts automatically after some time if the player doesn't attack.
-The Boss fight cannot be avoided anymore but it is slightly easier.

Various

-You can now skip the Intro.

We are currently working on the option to disable head bob and menu localizations - you can expect those changes soon as really small updates to the game being downloaded by Steam.

Next big patches will bring more gameplay changes and AI improvements but we need some time to prepare those. Telepaths' Tree is a small studio with less than 10 people on deck and we are working constantly to make Inner Chains better - all we need from you is a little more patience. And a smile! ːsteamhappyː

By the way - all saves should work with the newest version of the game. If they don't, restart the current chapter or send us your save file and we will repair it for you.

Sincerely,
The Telepaths' Tree team
