Hey everyone,

I hop you enjoyed the game's first chapter so far.
Quite some stuff has changed since release, mostly smaller bugfixes and balance improvements.

Patchnotes (1.0.7.0 to 1.0.7.4)

System

-Replaced Montgomery's typewriter effect.
The old one is still kept ingame for another purpose in the future.
-[Enter] can now also be used for jumping/confirming text in addition to [space].
-Added Options Menu, so people can now adjust sound volume.
-Heavily optimized the Dream Machine's animation, which should prevent the softlock bug now.
-Overall file size went down by 800 mb (from 3.2 GB to 2.4 GB).
-Many typo fixes.

Overworld

-Added Dark Shade to Luka's dance area in Eleno, to signify Gri don't like sunlight.
-Stormrats can now be randomly encountered in the overworld.

-Finding the Crystal in Kaltstein is a bit easier (blinks more often)
-Eating the cookie now actually increases Max HP.
-Removed "Door locked" message for William's and Erika's Room at evening (since it can still be opened)
-Fixed Helga not being talkable to after talking with Charla.

Battle

-Turtoise Buff now increases physical defense by 1 while the buff is active.
Affects Wuselrat + Stormrat currently.

Wuselrat:
-HP decreased by 1 (4 -> 3)
Stormrat:
-HP decreased by 2 (6 -> 3)

Woyzeck:
-You can actually lose against him now.
-Breath fire: React time from 0.2 to 0.4 seconds (should be way easier to block/dodge).

Johanna:
-Jump attack deals 1 damage even if no action command was hit (both still need to be hit for 2 damage).

William:
-Provides 1 Action Point now (so you can attack two times in Wuselwiese area now).

Mr.Foxxie:
-HP decreased by 3 (13 -> 10)

Right now I'm working on a small content update, improving the amount of time you'll spend in Kaltstein by adding some encounters and rooms.
Current ETA for this patch is ~22. November, hopefully earlier.

After this, the main focus will be the UI and the content for Chapter 2.
