The world going dark after station use: it is a rare known case we are trying to tackle. Please give us some more time to fix this issue
[IMPORTANT] CRITICAL BUG FIXES ON THE WAY
To our community,
There were a few game breaking bugs that slipped through the cracks before it was launched and we will be resolving these issues ASAP hopefully be live by tomorrow latest.
The following is a list of known issues that we will be tackling:
1. A RARE progression bug stopping players from completing the game at later levels
2. World going dark without resuming normal lighting after using a Memory Station
3. Mannequins don’t seem to attack/ less lethal at later levels
4. Adding a Missing Memory Count in the HUD
5. Align the Death Screen text & make it more obvious to the player what they lost
By Monday, we plan to fix a lot of the display issues wrong in Multiplayer and the inability to Focus properly.
We also plan to unveil an Official Milestone List of our internal plans early next week of the issues we will be tackling based on your honest feedback.
We’ve spent a long time working on Dollhouse and we DO NOT plan to let it go unfixed.
QA is not a perfect process, and as a team of just 12 members we are constantly working hard to bring our community the best version of Dollhouse possible.
Please join the Soedesco Discord and visit the Dollhouse channel, or visit our Community on Steam to report any bugs you have encountered. This is the fastest method to get the reports directly to our team.

Dollhouse Open Beta patch notes #1
Hi everyone!
You might've noticed that we issued a patch for Dollhouse! The most important fix is that we've partially fixed the multiplayer in the beta. We isolated the issues with the multiplayer connection issues with some players. We will need a few more days at most to completely resolve the issue. Multiplayer may work for some players now, but it is only a partial fix. We hope to have it live by this weekend so you can stab each other in the back :)
Multiplayer
Fixed infinite loading screen issue before the match starts
Fixed bug where Focus audio loop continues playback on level unload
Fixed bug where Focus scanning removes charge when kicked
Fixed bug where monster taunt is cutoff when kicked from scanning
Health & Quality of Life Changes
HUD in options displayed properly
Objective marker in tutorial displays objective properly
We're still working on fixing the multiplayer before the weekend, so please bear with us :D
In the meantime, if you want a good laugh, check out DashieGames' playthrough of Dollhouse: https://youtu.be/JVzE2wo30Ao

Just for all of you, we're extending the Open Beta until April 22nd, 6PM CEST! Additionally, there's a patch coming up which should fix the problems we're experiencing with the multiplayer, so keep an eye out for that! I'll be posting the full patch notes later ;)
Again, thank you to everyone who's already played the game and for your feedback. We'll see you in multiplayer!
