Thank you to everyone playing and reporting issues! I've put some automatically crash/logging in to the game that I can react to a lot quicker, as well as the fixes below from the reports I've received so far:

CEO calls and dialogue

  • Fixed CEO broadcast subtitles reserving an oversized text box, which could push dialogue off screen. Subtitle layout now stays stable as each line appears, including in translated languages.
  • Reduced unnecessary redraws of the CEO's wall screen. The screen now updates when its content changes, including on Low graphics settings.


The CEO has feedback in Spanish, too. Soy yo!

Bug fixes

  • Added safeguards for invalid settings and input bindings so unusable saved preferences fall back to defaults rather than breaking startup.
  • Fixed a desktop guidance error when collecting story notes.
  • Fixed animation-library cleanup errors and made character animation clips independent, preventing one character's adjustments from affecting another.
  • Protected time for your first hands-on job on day one, even after repeated Work actions or selecting a job before opening its app, so you don't get stuck.
  • Removed the outdated movement-key hint from Office Setup.

Optimisations and diagnostics

  • Simplified server-room cable geometry while preserving its routes and appearance. Low graphics settings now use a lighter cable budget and respond to quality changes without unnecessary regeneration.
  • Released unused comic-style materials after furniture is removed instead of retaining them until you leave the room.
  • Improved crash and error diagnostics around startup, scene loading, CEO calls and briefing emails to help investigate reported problems.

The updated demo is available now, you might need to restart Steam if you don't see it.

Thanks for helping make Void Inc better!
