First, thank you all so very much for the incredibly good recepetion that Mysteries of Perception received on the first day of its release! All the team is very grateful for the support all of you have shown already. ːwolloveː and with that, we took the opportunity to squash some bugs that were definitely a pain in the butt. Bugfixes : • Steam achievement at the end of chapter 2 is now obtainable after having gathered all the clues of the chapter, not before. • Steam achievement at the end of chapter 3 is now possible to obtain. (retroactively too) • The door on the left in the KingFisher no longer hesitate to exist, and works as intended. • "Alaric Dupinson" clue in chapter 3 is now correctly displayed.

First thing, this game is short. I'm perfectly fine with games being short, but I want it to be longer because of the games real strength - the world building. This game has a really interesting world that makes me want to know more about the world and characters. Clearly inspired by The Golden Idol this is a short experience that will scratch that Golden Idol itch you might be having. I will note there are a few...
