- 1.1.0.1 Chapter select hotfix - 2 May 2026
Hello players, Apologies: in our haste to deliver you the update in time for the weekend, we missed a bug in the chapter select. Several of you reported issues accessing later chapters after selecting a previous chapter. We have isolated the cause of this, and pushed this hotfix. Anyone affected should try to select latest available level via chapter select, exit to menu and check chapter select again: all levels should be available once more. We are sorry this has happened, and moved as fast as we could to rectify. We hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment of REPLACED too much. Thank you, and apologies again. Sad Cat StudiosP.S. If you know any affected Xbox players, we will push a fix for that next week.
- Community Feedback Update - 1 May 2026
Hello everyone.We continue to be overwhelmed by the positive response to REPLACED. We’ve been working around the clock since launch to address issues and feedback, and today we are adding some of the most-requested new features.Letterbox mode can now be disabledWhile we built REPLACED from the ground up as a 21:9 cinematic experience, we appreciate that it can feel like wasted screen space - particularly for Steam Deck players. You can now remove the black bars with a toggle in the graphics menu.We also experimented with superwide support, but the reframing created a lot of visual issues. Our scenes are built like movie sets, so outside of the frame, there’s often nothing there. 16:9 also presented issues with enemies and hacking terminals being offscreen, making the play experience worse. Sorry.Dialogue is now skippableThis is enabled by default now. Inevitably, skipping to the end of…

- REPLACED (Xbox Series X) Review - 17 April 2026
Game delays have become common. Every project (big or small) now assumes the risk of not meeting its deadline, and production often gets pushed back a few weeks or even months so developers can get back under the hood and iron out some kinks before launch. In Sad Cat Studios’ case, REPLACED was moved out of 2022 due to wartime relocation, but Sad Cat Studios kept development moving. Delays after the fact stemmed from Sad Cat’s reluctance to sacrifice quality to meet their imposed deadline, and it was a sacrifice well made for REPLACED . What fans end up with is a REPLACED well worth the wait. Sad Cat Studios ships an impossible-to-put-down narrative that will make you laugh, cry, and slam the wall with anger by the time the credits roll. REPLACED will sub in for your current obsession and become your next. The story begins in the science lab of Warren Marsh, a prolific doctor based in t…

- PC hotfix #1 - 14 April 2026
Fixes in 1077 (Steam) Fixed checkpoint in 3-1 (you could be stuck behind the door if you reload the checkpoint after the Matriarch fight). Another checkpoint in 3-1 where you could reload the checkpoint after the first cutscene with Tempest and 2nd one won't happen. Updated credits Updated the first cutscene in 2-4-1 where the train had no rails under it (you could see out of bounds) Additional fixes to 3-1 trap room save states (before there was a chance you could enter the trap room and one of the generators was already buzzing and open) Lessened amount of enemies in final boss fight to make it less tedious (still challenging, though) Restricted finishers at combat zone borders so that they can't accidentally push you outside of combat if you do one at the border Fixed stairs for 1-3-3 Fixed 2-4-6 Yoyo giving you Milky Way song Fixed achievement for finishing chapter 9 2-1-8 added pro…
