Technical Update on a Beta Branch

Order of the Sinking Star · published 10 Jul 2026, 22:57 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We have posted a TECHNICAL UPDATE for the demo, in a beta branch. To try it, you go to the Properties for the game, go to Game Versions & Betas, and pick public-testing (no password).

Included in this version:

  • Optimizations for faster frame rate, especially on lower-end devices! (60fps on most levels on Steam Deck)

  • A new, lower-profile graphics setting "Very Performance" that can be used on these platforms to achieve these frame rates (or better battery life).

  • Increased compatibility with older GPUs and systems with less RAM. (Still no shader model 6.5 support, but we are looking at this).

  • Separate volume controls for music, sound effects and character voice

  • Control vsync, frame rate cap, and antialiasing mode from the Graphics submenu.

  • Switch the text language dynamically from the menu without having to fiddle with Steam settings ..

... And more!

Thank you for playing and enjoying the demo.
