Update v0.0.2.1 is here!

Our first monthly update is finally live!! *wipes sweat*

As mentioned in our dev log, it's a bit of a smaller update as we've been working on getting a side visual novel ready for release. However, we hope the new content will sate your appetite until next month's update, which we've got a lot of exciting things planned for. :)

Download the new update in Steam via the Patreon Alpha branch! Make sure to come share your thoughts on the new content with us in Discord. :)

Spoilery Hints for Special Interactions

In RE:P, you'll find that the narrative and interaction options change quite a bit depending on your skills and traits, so it's easy to miss a lot of optional content. Below are some hints for finding some of the new interactions included in the month's update! Don't read if you'd like to discover these things for yourself~

• The Gonzo trait will give a unique interaction with some furniture
  
• Keep an eye out for Golgotha visions
  
• A bit of Panoptes will help you spot something unsettling in the mansion
  
• Spin something enough times for a valuable experience
  
• Research on the computer with a higher Technocrat skill for some interesting info
  

Next Month's Update

So what's on the plate for next month? We have a fair amount planned, but here are some major things we're aiming to get done!

• Save/load system
• First iteration of Hub #1 (Chinatown) with new interior areas
• 2-4 new interactable NPCs (you may have seen some of their character intros on our blog!)
• New dialogue box layout with scrolling history/larger text options
• (Possibly) Quest system implementation

We'll also be including the voted-upon content from the upcoming polls mentioned below!

Polls & Throne Content Submission:

The polls for next month's new content will be posted on Patreon later this week, so keep an eye out! What skill and trait would you like to see implemented next?
