Hi, friends!

Hotfix #8 is here! This time we tackled a few important things — from the Stamatins’ performance state on Day 11 and one of the endings, to making sure Eva appears where she was always supposed to. And, of course: Thoughts, markers, “Mind Palaces,” dialogues, and highlights.

Patch Notes:

  • (Important!) Fixed logic issues with the Stamatins’ performance on Day 11. Their state should now be counted correctly.

  • (Important!) Fixed an infinite loading screen in the escape ending if the player had never been to Day 12.

  • (Important!) In the right situation, Eva now appears in the Stillwater — as she always should have (but didn’t).

  • Added a reaction for Sticky on Day 5 if you’ve met him before!

  • Improved several different “Mind Palaces.”

  • Replaced the heart icon in the profile/save selection window <3.

  • Also fixed images for a number of locations there.

  • Fixed an additional dialogue for the dancer on Day 3.

  • Fixed Thoughts related to Isidor’s funeral (Day 2) and Thoughts related to rivers of blood (Day 9).

  • Fixed map markers and Thoughts in the steppe sacrifice quest on Day 8.

  • Removed forced dialogue with the water carrier and Lara.

  • Fixed Sticky's fate on Day 12 — he could die when he wasn’t supposed to.

  • Added highlights to boxes in the Warehouses.

  • Removed a grave on the Cemetery on Day 1 — one that shouldn’t exist yet.

  • Variables now reset correctly when discussing plague mold on Day 2.

  • Fixed transitioning into dialogue in the chess flashback (it wouldn’t trigger if you didn’t clear the “Mind Palace” on the first try).

  • The cursed street quest (Day 7) now resets properly if you didn’t finish it. (This doesn’t mean something that’s meant to be non-cancelable is now cancelable!)

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.
