A player asked us whether the blue box following them around the Palacio de los Cascos was part of the story or a bug. It was both: it was meant to be a reflection and never got its drawing. From there we went through every room that plays tricks with Ginés, and through the loose blocks in the scenery too.
Palacio de los Cascos
- The Hall of Mirrors now truly reflects Ginés: his silvery figure, inside the mirrors, half a second behind. On the other side of the mirror, the reflection runs ahead… and sometimes stops to point at something.
- Celina, the princess of the pond, finally has her ghostly figure, with her veil and her pomegranate.
- The pomegranate riddle could be started but was almost impossible to finish. Now the seeds float down like seeds should, and you catch them with your whole body. It still asks you to move well. And if you walk away, Celina waits.
Fairer entrances
- When you go through a door, Ginés gets half a second of breathing room: no enemy hits you the moment you arrive.
- In the Hall of Mirrors, a footman was waiting exactly where you appeared when coming from the Crypt. Not anymore.
The Sanatorium's Long Corridor
- If you arrived from the Linen Room, one step back sent you to the start of the corridor and you could not go back the way you came. Fixed: the corridor only plays its trick if you come in from the other side.
Scenery that makes sense
- The loose little blocks around some hidden items are now walled-up doorways and shelves.
- Breakable walls no longer look like white blocks placed at random: they are walled-up openings in each room's own stone (brick, or dry stone in the caves), and the ones in mid-air are trapdoors, walkway planks or boards hanging from ropes.
- They still give their usual hints: the crack, the hollow knock and the falling dust.
Thanks to the player who sent us this feedback, and to everyone who plays and tells us what they see. We keep going.
