The Tragedy at Deer Creek · published · build 24072750

Hi everyone! I hope all is well. Stay hydrated.
Thank you all for your feedback - a few surviving, cold-resilient bugs survived into Deer Creek but most (if not all!) have been taken care of. In addition of bug squashing, this update brings something our lovely little community have asked for...
At times, Charlotte might end up being a bit lost when trying to solve the mystery as to what happened in Deer Creek. By rubbing her nogging while looking at her notes, she now can concentrate really hard and get additional clues as for what to do!
The hint-system is disabled by default but you can enable it via the Settings menu to add a lightbulb to the bottom of the journal for additional guidance.
Simply click it to get a hint - it'll check which quest is selected and what your current objective is and nudge you forward!
There is usually just a single hint, but if there is more than one hint available, the lightbulb fills up to half. When you click it again you'll get another, more direct hint on how to solve the current conundrum!
I've tried to keep the system from being too blunt unless you actually need it - the first hint is usually quite vague, while the second hint is more direct if you're really stuck. Let me know if you think I've been too heavy-handed!
As always, thank you so much for supporting us, be it on Discord, our social media channels or the Community Hub. Should you stumble upon any issues, please let me know either on the Community Hub or by simply sending me a DM on Discord.
I've also updated the demo so if you want to try it out for free, it's now available!
Have a great summer everyone! Drink lots of water.
