In-Depth Puzzles
Redesigned the puzzles to make them more in-depth. Previously, solving puzzles would always reward players with an escape item. However in the newest update, puzzles can now reward players with items used to solve other puzzles in the manor. This makes the game much more similar to an escape room. Due to this change I've limited the number of escape routes back to 1 and had to add some extra steps to some of the puzzles:
- Firing range button is now missing, players will have to find and place the button themselves in order to activate the targets.
- Sequence puzzle will now spawn with a cover over it, players will have to find a screwdriver to remove said cover.
- Doll room will now be barricaded by wooden boards, players must look for a hammer to remove them.
- Generator room now requires an orange keycard to open.
- Bar room now requires a blue keycard to open.
- Card puzzle will now only spawn 3 of the 4 cards, players will have to figure out the last digit of the code themselves.
Self-Revives
Added self-revives, allowing players to automatically revive themselves when they die with a cross in their inventory. I added this as a way to make the game easier for people playing solo, although it does work for multiplayer too. If you self-revive, you get to keep all the items in your inventory, otherwise all of your items will be sent to the storage box. (Only available for Standard and Casual).
Additional changes
- Added Ghost to Casual mode, but at a much slower speed and deals less damage.
- Added warning for when players on different versions try to connect to each other. This will only work for version 0.2.1 and above.
- Added warning for when players fail to connect to the Steam Network.
Fixes
- Fixed curtains disappearing after solving the piano puzzle.
- Fixed painting puzzle occasionally spawning the wrong item.
- Fixed gate for the boat escape clipping through the ground when spawning on the bottom floor.
- Fixed some of the item descriptions not displaying for players with unmodified settings files.
- Fixed collision for one of the chairs in the surveillance room.
