Developers Failbetter Games say that recently added features made the game “more responsive to player choice than is usual for visual novels,” but this ambition also added a laundry list of bugs to fix. On theirSteam blog, Failbetter say, “you can meet characters in different orders, important information can be conveyed in multiple different conversations, and the story can vary a lot in how the parts are connected together.” They continue to say their testing has to account for all of these variables to ensure each is functional and satisfying.

Since releasing a demo, Failbetter have now implemented a couple of key changes. In particular, when using the map you can now select an objective, on top of where and who to travel to. This means you can catch characters in a private moment or a crowd, depending on what your intentions are.

If you’re at WASD London this weekend, you can go hands-on with a nearly-finished version of the game. The rest of us can only enjoy the recent launch trailer above, in preparation for its June 8th release onSteamand consoles.
