- Gamepad Update 1.09! - 30 July 2022
Hey adventurers! We are happy to release a new update to the game which now supports gamepad control; this is an important milestone for us and will also enable us to port the game to more platforms. Additionally, more fixes have been done, most notably the key cabinet minigame which was skipped. On the enhancements side, the intro sequence is now skippable. As always, we'd love your feedback either through Steam or our discord server https://discord.gg/wd8ny6R3Vh, and please don't forget to submit your valuable review if you enjoyed the game! See you soon with a greatly anticipated patch! Cheers Dionous Games
- Update Patch 1.08 - 28 March 2022
A small fix in this 1.08 patch: - Ch.3 Travel orb scene not working properly.
- Update Patch 1.07 is here! - 26 March 2022
We are delighted to release a new build of Watch Over Christmas (v1.07). In this version, we have taken into account most of the feedback from our players and we believe it results in a much more polished version of the game. A few minor bugs and lots of under the hood fixes were made. We also improved the logic to a couple of our puzzles and added more default actions to a single click. As you may know, we love details, no matter how tiny, so here's what's more: the game has become even more animal-friendly. Socks, Cisco's beloved dog, is now back in his doghouse in the snowy chapter. It would be cruel to leave him outside in the cold!! IMPORTANT NOTE: Since we looked under the hood for some fixes, there are some incompatibilities with previous saves. If you notice any issue, please contact us on our discord server https://discord.gg/wd8ny6R3Vh and we can provide you with new saves.
