Abyssonauts!
Our first patch is here in the form of a hotfix! Thank you to everyone who has submitted reports and feedback so far! This hotfix is PC specific and is on GoG but will come to PC Gamepass later. We're also working on console fixes for the black screen issue, and Nintendo Switch performance issues which we'll keep everyone updated on through our socials!
We also have a whole heap of changes to the experimental branch, including optional items, pick-up pets pause before they grab, auto-save (so you can leave the game mid run and pick it back up!) and much more further down in this news post!
Hotfix 1
- Cursor not confined to fullscreen fix.
- French keyboard compatibility .
- Remove Vibrant Ball, Peter and Jack (until a full update with reworked pet mechanics - see experimental notes.)
- Saya animation bug fix.
- Fix for credits not scrolling.
Experimental Branch Changes including auto-saves!
We also have a whole bunch of changes to the experimental branch for you all to try and give us your thoughts on! To access this branch and for more on it, check out this post: https://steamcommunity.com/games/788100/announcements/detail/2753339286193349786
Major changes:
