Changes
The Perfection Complex
After a lot of feedback and redesigns, the 6th level of NIRAVASI, The Perfection Complex, has received a massive overhaul. The newest iteration of this level is no longer a purely linear experience and now offers players a variety of new secrets and puzzles to explore. Here's a list of what you can find in the newly updated version of AEON's lair.
- A brand new wing of The Perfection Complex: The Management Wing.
- Additional rooms and secrets within all wings of The Perfection Complex, such as the Factory and Processing Wings.
- New tile puzzles that change how you approach certain areas.
- New secrets and lore entries to be discovered.
- Removal of AEON monitor detection mechanic. You may now freely read those computer terminals without a crazy robot interrupting you.
- Revelations on what happened to ALL of your missing crew.
- BIG visual updates to the look and design of The Perfection Complex.
- Overhauled/Improved narrative direction of The Perfection Complex
This is just a small list of what you can now find in The Perfection Complex. So go ahead and enjoy exploring the new base of operations of our malefic AI overseer.
New Ending: The Path to Enlightenment
Patch 1.1. introduces a brand new ending to NIRAVASI focusing on the mysterious entity that infects the land itself. By making use of the Vigarium Artifacts you find along the path of your journey, you may yet uncover the sinister secrets laying beneath each of the game's levels (and the dark entity in control of them).
Improved Quality-of-Life
Also coming to Patch 1.1 are improvements to the quality-of-life of the game's levels themselves. Listed below are all the examples I can think of:
- Old Hanirr: New geometry to better indicate where the entrance to the Stepwell of Dhara Hanirr is.
- Stepwell of Dhara Hanirr: Redesigned puzzle needed to access the "Why?" room.
- Ishani Bazaar: Added new passageway between the western district of the bazaar to find another path towards Lotulanda.
- Lotulanda: Redesigned narrative approach to the Management Wing of Lotulanda to better allow players to continue exploring the area before ending the level.
- The Aruvi District: Add new section in the Tekmo Tower to allow the player to skip a floor.
- Palace of Nira Ishan: Added stairwells in the courtyard to allow players to reach the top floor of the palace easier.
Updated Endings
The Path to Enlightenment isn't the only update involved with the game's endings. Several updates have been made to ensure players can now properly access the game's Normal, True, and Secret endings. Additional, Vigarium Artifacts now play an additional role in providing players a different ending depending on how many artifacts they've collected.
New (and updated) Music
Thanks to the hard work of Adam Halpin, NIRAVASI's composer, the game now has an additional 5 musical tracks to work with, as well as updates to a few of the already existing tracks. Here's a list of the new songs you can find in-game:
- Homecoming
- Perfection
- Throne of Humanity
- Desperate Assault
- Symphony of Hearts
Additional Fixes
NIRAVASI Patch 1.1. also features additional bug fixes and changes to improve the game's experience. Unfortunately, Patch 1.1. includes so many that it's incredibly difficult to list them all done. However, I'll be keeping a close on things in the future and willing to make updates if necessary.
