We are currently investigating these issues you reported
- “need to leave the circus to meet the robot in the swamp but cannot leave the circus”. (not possible to recreate the bug on our end)
- “the game doesn’t save automatically at the start of the level or use the manual save option halfway through the level. If quit during the oilPlatform section, need to restart in the Desert town and start the oilPlatform section from the beginning”. (fixed in 1.3)
- “you have some typos in the restaurant”. (fixed in 1.4)
- “The 5 flower quest NPC tells you to plant one flower at the hotel. There’s no hotel on the map. You plant it next to the hospital. Either the NPC says wrong, or the map text is wrong.” (fixed in 1.4)
- “The [UI] scrolling speed is too slow! It needs to be increased with 400% or something.” (fixed in 1.4)
- “Sometimes when you start Kitty Scratch your progress counter is 99/99, and some of your previous progress is lost.” (fixed in 1.4)
- “A text appears twice. “When you said your parentWhen did you say your parents…” (fixed in 1.4)
- “The loading screen never starts when trying to leave the post office. Resulting in a soft lock. You can still look around and accessing the menu. So you can quit the game and load a save file. This only happened once for me.” (fixed in 1.4)
- “The position of you on the map while in the mountain town doesn’t align” (fixed in 1.4 from Nintendo version)
- “Interesting so far but stuck on the final drone delivery mission. Battery power too low to complete three package stops, cannot locate third package visually anyway, no time to look around for it either. The drone upgrade screen shows you nice things, but you can’t do anything this early in to the game to help you improve the flight of the drone.” (fixed in 1.4)
- “I believe the PS5 version still is on 1.2 (when looking at “Information” about the game so does it say version 1.002.000), so the workaholic trophy might already be fixed if 1.3 is released to PS5.” (pushed to production environment on January 24th, 2024)
- A user asked to make the drone delivery #3 a bit easier.
- “Upon completion of all 6 delivery missions, achievement will fail to unlock, and the tracker in the progress section of the menu will not change from 0%.” on Xbox Series. (fixed in 1.5 for Xbox)
- A user asked about the possibility of closing the thoughts balloon. (added in 1.5)
- “Would be good to have an indication in the map about the character facing direction”. (added in 1.6)
- “The quest goals should remain visible even if they are outside of the camera view”. Asked during MGW24 (fixed in 1.6)
