Monsters

  • Monster Difficulty Balancing: Adjusted monster behaviour and tuning across all difficulty levels to improve overall balance and progression.

  • HideBehind Rhythm Tweak: Adjusted the rhythm of the HideBehind pattern in phase 3 to make the encounter more readable and better paced.

Gameplay

  • Monster Detector Walkie-Talkie Fix: Fixed an issue where the Monster Detector walkie-talkie would not work and failed to detect nearby monsters.

  • Contract Timeout End-of-Night Fix: Fixed an issue where the night would not end correctly if a contract timed out without any vote.

  • KO Position Display Fix: Fixed an issue where the displayed position of other players when knocked out could remain at the KO spot instead of following the body after being pushed by a monster, such as being knocked from a hallway into a nearby room.

  • Paper Code Third-Person Position Fix: Fixed the position of the paper code in the character’s hand in third-person view so it appears correctly aligned.

UI

  • History “Failed” Localisation Fix: Fixed a localisation issue where the “failed” status in the history was not displayed correctly.
