V 1.0.2: 10/04/2026 !! Old savegames may have problems !!

General:

• Set the game's version number to V.1.0.2.

• The facial animations for Nik, Lilly, the Calculator, and the Judge now end appropriately when sentences are cut short and no longer play all the way through.

• Added 4 missing voiceovers for Nik and Lilly.

• Replaced voiceovers with incorrect languages.

• Replaced some faulty voiceovers.

• Removed sounds that were playing incorrectly at the start of Chapters 11 and 14.

• Added missing lip-sync animations in the German version for Chapters 12_Epilogue, 13, and 14.

Intro:

• The Exit button in the intro movie no longer becomes unresponsive once it has been clicked.

Options:

• “Save Settings” is no longer overwritten by “Back to the Game.”

• The option tooltips have been adjusted so that they no longer overlap with the version information.

• The last known spelling errors and discrepancies between the subtitles and voiceovers in the German version have been corrected in all chapters.

• “PLAY CHAPTER,” “LOAD GAME,” and “SAVE GAME” now have German equivalents.

• A few bugs in the logic of the options menu have been fixed.

Chapter 04:

• As in the other chapters, the game now starts with a camera set against a black background. This should prevent a brief flash of a different camera.

• Fixed a brief offset in the camera position after the intro.

Chapter 11:

• As in the other chapters, the game now starts with a camera view against a black background. This is intended to prevent a brief flash from another camera.

• A bug in the save system related to the main gate has been fixed.

• Fitz now flies to the correct location again when asked to open the door.

Chapter 14:

• Issues with the music during the transition to the outro have been resolved.

• A bug in the save system related to the crabs has been fixed.

Outro:

• The outro now plays all the way to the very end—including the last two seconds.

V 1.0.1: September 26, 2026 - !! old savegames get lost !!

Extensive improvements to the save system in general. I’m really, really sorry that so many things still went wrong. It shouldn’t have been like that!

Fixes for the save system in all chapters. I hope I’ve really caught them all this time. If you find any more bugs, please let me know!

- A slight performance boost for the game.

- Spelling corrections in the German version across all chapters.

- Corrections to discrepancies between the subtitles and voiceovers in all chapters of the German version.

- Adjusted the lighting in several chapters (my main monitor is apparently a bit brighter than most monitors out there...)

- Adjusted the lighting in Chapter 1. The dark areas are now a bit brighter. The puzzle with the door is now easier to solve.

- Adjusted the lighting in Chapter 4. It’s a bit brighter here, too.

- Adjusted the lighting in Chapter 5. It’s a bit brighter here, too.

- Adjusted the lighting in Chapter 8. It’s now significantly brighter.

- Adjusted the lighting in Chapter 11. It’s now just a tiny bit brighter.

- Adjusted lighting and effects in Chapter 12. The post-processing effects are now less over-the-top.

- Adjusted lighting in Chapter 14. It’s now a little bit brighter.

- Chapter 15 now plays through to the end before the credits start.

- In all dialogs that have 5 or more answer options more than once, the position of the answers is reset so that they always start with the first one.

- In many chapters (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14), I’ve added a new, really nice sharpening effect that, in my opinion, makes the scenes even more beautiful.

- Many hitboxes for interactive objects in all chapters have been enlarged and/or improved.

- Issues in the options menu have been fixed.

Enjoy this improved version of the game.
