A new hint system is now available as part of update 1.1. To use the hint system press the 'Escape' button to display the game's menu and then press the button 'Hints'.
The system should automatically detect the current phase of the game and suggest a hint. Some of the puzzles in the game may be referenced by two hints. The first hint may present the general approach to solving the puzzle and the second hint will display the solution. We strongly suggest to try and solve all the puzzles without using the hint system at first attempt. The hint system is there to help players solve difficult puzzles. It is not required to use the hint system at all to complete the game.
Additional Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue when saving and loading the game after the first council meeting at Netra’s headquarters. Current saved games should not be affected.
