We Heard You!

Thank you to everyone who has played Separated and taken the time to leave feedback. We've been reading every review and discussion, and we've released our first hotfix based on your reports.

Changes in this Hotfix

  • Added a lobby option that disables voice chat from alerting the ghost, allowing you to communicate more freely and better understand the puzzles.

  • Made the ghost take a rest after catching a player in Levels 3 and 4.

  • As a temporary fix, we increased the ghost's footstep hearing range so you can hear her before she hears you. This will be addressed more thoroughly in the next update.

  • Redesigned the PC keyboard puzzle timer to make the puzzle much less frustrating and more enjoyable.

  • Reduced the number of drawers throughout the house to a maximum of two per room, making important items easier to find.

Additionally, if you're having trouble understanding any puzzle, we've put together a guide to help you: Puzzle Guide in English

This hotfix focuses on addressing the most urgent issues as quickly as possible. We're now working on improving puzzle clarity, monster behavior, and the overall gameplay experience based on your feedback.

Thank you for your support! ❤️
