❗Update
Hello Loves, We’re working on addressing new issues that surfaced with Hotifx 2 as a priority – including, but not limited to: SPECS points - Rebalanced for some players as certain Dateables were granting the wrong SPECS type. This has inadvertently caused new blockers, preventing realisation.
Lyric - Stuck in repeated dialogue loop
Scandalabra - Stuck in ‘unfinished business’ loop
Dasha - Unable to realise
Rebel - Stuck in a loop
Celia - Stuck in a loop We are aiming to remedy these issues with Hotfix 3. Thank you for taking the time to report these problems! We’ll update you as soon as we have more info on Hotfix 3.
Hello, Loves 🫶
Hotifx 2 is now LIVE on Steam/WinStore! This patch addresses an abundance of issues pertaining to dialogue loops and blockers, and also a whole host of fixes across all platforms. More Daemons squashed! 🐜
Thank you for your patience as we worked to push this update 💞
We are aware of current issues that have been brought up in the past couple weeks and are currently working on them for the next Hotfix. The main issue is that the achievement Consummate Professional is currently impossible (even in Hotfix 2) — we are working on completely refactoring how it is achieved. This fix will allow all achievements to finally be possible!
