Welcome to our first major update! After Kim launched, our designer went to India (as you can
see here!) and we all relaxed and started to think about what we might add to Kim in future updates. Each time we finish a new feature, we’ll announce an update, which will also include any balance changes and little improvements we’ve made along the way. The centrepiece of v1.1 is an album showing the photos and descriptions of the places you’ve discovered during all of your playthroughs. The photos were provided by The British Library and the descriptions are excerpts from Victorian travel guides so we wanted to add a way to look through these as a collection. We've made a host of other changes, which you can read about below. Let us know what you'd like to see in our next update in the forums or on social media:

Changes
