Sense 1.1 - Update Now Live

Hi everyone,

We're happy to announce that SUZAKU launched the updated 1.1 build of the game now on Steam, based off of the user feedback the game has received over the past few days. A full changelog from the developers can be seen below:

CHANGES- Adjusted the difficulty and interaction on the “elevator” sequence in the lobby. - Added 14 autosave/checkpoint spots throughout the game- Added an unlimited “Quicksave” function to the pause menu, allowing players to save at any time, Unless in the same room as a ghost, or during specific events.
- Due to the complexity and length of the game, utilizing this feature MAY cause unintended visual bugs or errors related to flag based animations or interactions. It may also cause progression bugs, so we highly recommend saving manually at save stations as well. - Added a function to NG+ , which removes the quick save option for added challenge “Hard mode” - Added a function to NG++, which removes both autosaving and quick saving, for the “survival horror” mode. Only manual/limited saving is available in New Game ++. - Switched the A and B button functions on XBOX controllers- Added A Journal item unlocked at start of game which has helpful “tutorial” notes on saving, the PDA, and the Taomu. - Improved the visibility of Several ghosts in the later portions of the game. - Removed “logic chain” conditions on several items so that they may be picked up right away, eliminating the more frustrating backtracking. (Note: this was only done on SOME items, not all of them in game)- Added visual prompts to the “balance board” Minigame/puzzle on the 2nd floor. - Changed the pause menu to ESC on PC, instead of enter. controller button is unchanged. - Changed the interactions for the “boiling water” and “melting lead” interactions. The player must now pick up the items from the stoves, instead of automatically receive them. Also reduced the wait times on these interactions. FIXES- Fixed a bug in which Flags were not properly resetting when starting NG+, breaking NG+ only interactions and some events.
- This effected the elevator in the lobby as well and has been fixed- Fixed some localization errors
- The “how to play” screen now displays in the correct language, as selected by the player. - several typos and broken color tags have been corrected throughout the game and journals/flavor text- Fixed a bug with a certain ghost’s attack, in which a dialogue box would appear and freeze the game. - Fixed a bug in NG++ in which a certain ghost would become invincible. - fixed a bug in which text was not displaying properly on choice buttons - Fixed a bug in which certain ghosts AI did not properly respond when changing scenes. - Fixed a bug in which the QTE buttons were not perusable on KBM if a controller was plugged in- Fixed a bug in which the camera was moving from out of bounds on scene loading. - Fixed a bug in which the secret NG++ ending would not run.

Some older save data may not carry over to your new game (whether from 1.0 or from the older iterations of the Sense Demo), so it is recommended that you start a new game.

We hope that everyone who has supported Sense and given feedback, whether positively or negatively, will enjoy the game more now that this update has been rolled out. We will continue to collect feedback regarding the game to pass to SUZAKU. If you enjoy Sense and would like to support the developer, we encourage you to leave a review for the game. While the game's PC launch was not ideal, we thank everyone for their patience and hope you will enjoy 1.1
