In a CRPG heavy on dice rolls and political intrigue, the only thing that should stop your investigation is a bad skill check, not a software crash. This latest patch focuses on stability, specifically addressing moments where the game would lock up entirely.
Fixing the Spell Preparation Softlock
For those leaning into the magical side of the spectrum, managing your arcane arsenal was becoming a risky gamble. The developers identified and squashed a softlock bug associated with the spell preparation mechanics. In a game inspired by tabletop adventures, preparing your spells is a daily ritual; having it freeze the game is the equivalent of the DM flipping the table because you asked to change your cantrips. You can now customize your loadout without fear of halting your progress.
What was the Smart Cleric glitch?
One of the more oddly specific fixes in this update involves your goblin companion, Snell. Previously, players rolling a "smart cleric" would encounter a broken animation loop immediately following Snell's introductory sequence. While Snell is meant to be a chaotic element in your investigation of the tea shop bombing, he isn't supposed to be game-breakingly chaotic. This animation glitch has been resolved, letting high-intelligence holy characters proceed with the story.
Gamepad and Text Polish
Accessibility and polish also saw improvements in Hotfix #4. Players preferring controllers over mouse and keyboard were hitting snags right at the start of the journey. Issues related to gamepad usage during the character creation process have been fixed, ensuring you can actually build your detective before you start debating devils and drunk sphinxes.
Finally, the team combed through the script to correct numerous spelling errors throughout the demo. In a text-heavy narrative game where dialogue choices determine the fate of an election (and potentially the city), clarity is king.
