Hi, friends!
Hotfix #7 is here. In this one, we removed a particularly annoying sound effect, fixed a couple of important story bottlenecks (including ones that could break endings), and we continue our methodical campaign against T-poses and unnatural merging.
Patch Notes:
(Important!) Removed the constant fireworks noise that was fueling mania in real life.
(Important!) Taught the Rat Prophet to properly devour certain things related to Lara.
(Important!) …And some other key information, too — it used to get stuck in his teeth, which caused the “Academic” and “The Price of a Miracle” endings to bug out after meeting him.
Heron now appears in the “People” normally.
Fixed the “Anything for You” achievement. If you’ve met the requirements in older saves, it will unlock automatically. (By the way, somehow 0.1% of players managed to get it before these fixes.)
Fixed Victor and his Shadow on Day 7, who were standing inside each other — but this will only be fixed on new save files.
Now the two dancers definitely, absolutely do not dance inside each other on Day 12.
Saburov no longer stands in a T-pose on Day 12.
Fixed a locked door in the quest where you inspect Isidor’s house. If you’re already affected by this issue, you’ll need to restart Day 2.
Fixed the marker on Isidor’s house in the Day 7 quest to find Grief — previously it could get stuck in some cases.
The dancer in Shekhen who can hint at one of the Decrees will stop hinting once that Decree has already been devised.
The infected no longer stand in T-poses.
Fixed checking collected recipes — the achievement for them should now unlock properly.
If after the update you still run into bugs or odd behavior, please report them in the appropriate Steam Community thread or the relevant Discord channel/topic.
