• Version 1.11 released - 11 January 2020

  1.11 released fixing the following bugs. Game breaking bug where if you saved at 1 certain point in the game and quit, it did not save the player status and prevented progress. Hidden achievement that should trigger after the end sequence played moved to the start of the end sequence to fix a rare bug where it would not trigger. Also makes sure the player gets the achievement if they quit during the end sequence. Moved the game completion achievement to the start of the end sequence for the same reason.

  Small update to solve a bug where if you complete a series of events in a certain order, it can cause a bug where you can not trigger the end sequence.
