- Patch 4.2283.1 - 11 October 2025
Patch 4.2283.1Whoa... The update is finally here! And with it, a complete redo of the banner art, and a brand new trailer! This update has a bit of everything, but is mostly focused on adding more interactions, to really sell the immersion sim part of this game. There's also a bunch of additional items and secrets. And, to top it all off, something that has been requested since day one, a god damn save system! That's right, you can now exit the game and resume later on. This comes with a few restrictions, however.You can only save as you reach part 3 (the mansion). You can only load up your save file once. That means you cannot exploit the save system to get multiple attempts at killing Mistashur. What the save system is for, is to allow a player to spend as much time as they wish in part 2, and then exit the game and continue later on. The game informs the player of this as they attemp…
- Patch 3.2087.1 (Added Russian) - 28 March 2025
Been quite some time now, but here's yet another Envelope update! This time the focus was on adding a Russian translation, with the help of some amazing people. It required a bit of work with the UI elements, but everything should work as intended. As a bonus, I added some extra stuff just for fun, including a couple of extra secrets. Enjoy! 3.2087.1 changelist General Added the Russian language. Added more secrets. Part 2 (Stendal) Added a little more furniture to Reba 50 storage room.

- Patch 3.1251.0 - 7 September 2024
We've been monitoring gameplay videos after release and we made some changes to make the experience even more comfortable. We added an auto-skip feature that unlocks when you have already seen a certain dialogue.

2.1199.1 changelist General New/updated textures for items. Lockpick. Shovel. Money. Sledge hammer. The player can now tap shift to sprint, instead of holding it down. If the player stop moving, sprint will be turned off. A lot of players are saving their stamina by instinct, but there is no punishment by letting the stamina run out. If you sprint when the stamina has run out, you will still move more quickly than if you just walk. This change will hopefully make it more intuitive! Crouch is now toggle by default. Added a "safer language" setting, that replaces some swear words. This has not been perfected yet! Part 2 Added a secret cave in the tunnel between Stendal camping and the forest. The conspiracy theorist now has a quest that can be completed to get a grappling hook. Added a way to enter the bathroom in Reba 50. Moldy Noldy now disappears when you walk too far away from him at…
