The game will be 25% off on Steam and consoles throughout the Holiday season! We've only pushed the Streamlined Mode update on Steam for now. It's going to take more time to release on consoles. Thank you so much for your support as we keep on working and improving!

Some fat has been cut from the dialogue - a line here, a line there... It’s not like we’ve hacked away entire scenes, just trimmed bits for a more…streamlined… experience. We've also added speech bubble icons to keep track of who’s speaking while you’re speeding through.

As for QoL improvements, we've increased the number of historical autosaves that are kept and we've added a function to restart the current chapter. If you do get stuck somewhere, both of these should help. Autosaves have been moved to a place in the menu that's easier to find.

Streamlined Mode moves at a quicker tempo. 🏃💨 For example! A door unlocks - do you really need the game to stop and the camera to pan over and look at it opening? Maybe not! In Streamlined Mode, it doesn’t! This is one of the many examples of reduced guidance.
