Don't Give Up: A Cynical Tale

Patch 1.1.4 is live!

Hello everyone! Patch 1.1.4 is live, another quality of life update in continuous commitment of refining the DON'T GIVE UP experience!



What's new:



-keybind remapping for keyboard
-a new color for unblockable attacks!

So far, players had to learn about unblockable attacks the hard way, but this update will make them easy to spot.

Players use to and preferable to keyboard play will be able to customize controls to their liking!


thanks for your support!

Patch 1.1.3 is live!

Patch 1.1.3 is out! This is a quality of enjoyment update and addresses a few issues:

Travel



-Trains now drop Tris off OUTSIDE of the destination station, this will cut the time to traverse through train stations in the game in HALF


Hints/Progression

-Hint reminding players of the parry functions occurs during Ted Tantrums conflict
-Hint informing players about Anxious Status added to the game

Hope you're all enjoying the game! Here are the patch notes:


  • based on feedback we've added an additional autosave to the "martial law" chapter to break up the intensity and allow an improved starting point for a tough boss
  • once you beat the game you can now quickly scrub through dialogue by holding left ctrl or left trigger!
