Version 1.42
We've just published our version 1.42 which adds some more functionality and polishes our "Notes" feature that we introduced in v1.4. To recap, our last updated added a Notes menu item, letting players review all of the documents they have unlocked in their many journeys through Freedom Town, letting you review notes you have collected over multiple playthroughs. We like how this showcases all the different narrative pieces our writers and artists came up with for the game's collectable documents, and lets you read them in the calm between playthroughs.

This 1.42 version adds a "Total Collected" counter in the top left of the screen so you can track your progress in collecting all the many documents you might find in Freedom Town. V1.42 also improves the interface on the menu, adds Japanese translation to the new screen, and fixes some other UI and polish items.
Update to the True Believer Special Edition
Our True Believer Special Edition is our DLC that includes our soundtrack and a number of Behind the Scenes videos, and we've just expanded it with two new videos! These were clips we had in the vault that we thought people would really enjoy checking out - we've edited them and synced them up with the best sound.
The videos are live in studio recordings of songs by our cult leaders and voice actors extraordinaire Ellen McLain and John Patrick Lowrie. One of the new videos features Ellen doing a spirited alternate take on that ultimate cult tune "The Working Song," a fan favorite of our players. In the second John does a perfect one-take performance of "Flee As a Bird" which he sings while simultaneously finger picking his guitar.
If you already purchased the True Believer edition, you will automatically get these files added to your collection. And if you haven't become a True Believer yet, now's a perfect time to pick it up, because it's on sale too!
Fellow Traveller Sale
And to cap off this announcement, this week we're on sale along with a bunch of friend titles from our publisher Fellow Traveller. If you've already played us, take a look at Fellow Traveller's other titles for some uniquely rich narrative experiences.
Or return to us. Get back into the jungle and use our new feature to see if you can locate all the journals, newspaper clippings, inter-cult memos, stained Polaroids, postcards, and cries for help that are tucked away in some footlocker in Freedom Town... The story they tell is the story of all of us.
