Hi, friends!
Hotfix #9 is here. This time we tackled recipe distribution logic for the child traders, added clearer explanations for a few contentious story situations (that looked like bugs), introduced new tutorials — and, of course, shipped a batch of quest/technical fixes that affected progression.
Patch Notes:
(Important!) Child traders will no longer give you recipes you already know.
(Pretty important!) Added a tutorial about canceling major quests. Some storylines can be canceled — but doing so will reset a huge number of quests, which you’ll then have to replay from scratch if you decide to bring them back. We’re keeping the option, but the warning is now much clearer.
(More tutorials!) Added new tutorials for the tablet, examinations, and the “vaccine of the day.” We noticed many players mark symptoms in the tablet very conservatively — even though it’s usually better to mark everything, interview the patient, and then remove what doesn’t fit. We tried to make that clearer.
Fixed resetting the escape quest on Day 10. If it disappeared in your save, open the console and enter:
set_global_variable Day10_Q16_StationFarewell_1_Done false
Fixed the quest about saving Rubin on Day 3. He should no longer be dead when he isn’t dead.
Sleeping Rubin has stopped staring at the player!
The quest about his final wish can now be reset properly.
Fixed the Simon’s office quest on Day 2 resetting on its own.
Vlad the Younger now places a few more decrees in the Headquarters (this doesn’t affect gameplay, just so you know).
Access to the Decree Board is now disabled when the Bachelor first leaves the Town Hall as part of the story.
Fixed the sound and behavior of Farhad’s lamp (from the Supporter’s Pack).
Map markers: Town Hall (Day 3), Mirosya’s house (Day 8).
Hyoscyamine now works correctly during euthanasia.
Fixed the courier in Viktor’s quest on Day 10.
Fixed the credits so the ending scroll reaches the top nicely.
Slightly adjusted Pyotr’s tooltip in the “People” window.
Slightly adjusted images for some diseases in the reference book.
Pyotr used to show up for the performance on Day 11 even if you talked him out of it. Now he behaves.
Fixed the Mirror Room after endings — sometimes it wouldn’t let you leave.
If after the update you still run into bugs or odd behavior, please report them in the appropriate Steam Community thread or the relevant Discord channel/topic.
