[PUBLIC RELEASE] 1.4.0.3 Trials Walkthrough Update
Added 2025-02-21 05:25:26 +0000 UTCHey, all!
Got a lot of feedback on this last patch, and one sore point has been the Trials. I know there are a lot of people who play AVNs who don't like minigames, but I wanted to preserve the spirit of the Trials and not commit a ton of dev time to reworking the whole Episode 4, so I settled on one of the suggestions: a Walkthrough update. Thanks to F95Zone user ninjahotsprings for the code to make this work!

In the Options menu, you'll find a new radio button:
Enabling this will turn the correct option green. This will lead you through the correct answers to all three Trials.
In my testing, I found that if you're in the middle of a Trial choice menu and decide to open Options and enable the Walkthrough, it won't take effect until the next mouse click. I also noticed that, if you close the game with it Enabled and open it again, it will be Disabled, and I had to reenable it. Not game breaking at all, but I thought I'd mention it.
I hope this helps allay some of the frustration surrounding the Trials. The goal was to create more immersion by putting the player in Aurum's shoes rather than showing it like a cinematic with no choices, and for many, it was appreciated. But for some, it became frustrating and even made some completely drop the game. So I'm hoping this is a good compromise.
Also, thought I might include a cute little preview for the next Side Story patch:
Anyways, that's all for now. Thank you all for the feedback and helping make WCA better for everyone. Much love, and see you soon with another progress report!
