Hello shoppers!
While we’re deep into development on Episodes 3 & 4, we’re also actively monitoring your feedback on Steam and Discord to keep improving the game. This update focuses on stability fixes and resolving several progression blockers reported by players.

Known Issues (Under Investigation)
Mic or Voice Chat issues - while we are still investigating this problem, we noticed some players had issues while using a VPN or a software like Ban. If you are playing with a VPN or similar software active, try deactivating it, as it may block your microphone or other players'. Be sure to check your input device in the settings in the game as well.
Thanks again for all your reports — they’re incredibly helpful as we build the next episodes and continue to polish Storebound. As indicated in our roadmap, we're working towards having Steam achievements unlockable in a new patch next month, so stay tuned!
