First things first: HUGE thanks to those of you that have picked up Acolyte and chucked yourself down the rabbit-hole of ARG sleuthing. I've been watching as many streams and videos of the game as I can, and seeing how different players tackle the game via its open-ended input is fascinating.
To the small subset of players that have managed to solve all the game's puzzles: kudos. The game game has - and I quote the NME review here - "some of the hardest video game puzzles you’ll ever solve" - so to welcome some of you to the elusive Club100 so soon has been a pleasant surprise.
There will be a bigger update with more substantial feature additions in due course, but I wanted to get a first patch out the door as soon after launch as possible to address a few of the smaller issues that have been cropping up.
In this first update to the game, we've added:
- Expanded valid-inputs for certain puzzle solutions
- Revised hints for certain puzzles
- Improved scene flow for moving between LOI (Lines of Investigation)
- A fix for the 'Crossing the Ts and Dotting the Is' Achievement not popping for some players
- New additional valid responses for the 'GET TO KNOW YOUR ACOLYTE' task.
- A bunch of very boring but very needed typo-fixes
And that's it for this very minor first patch.
Huge thanks once again to everybody that has checked out the game.
