BugFix 1.013
Hot from the presses - GRUNND is getting updated with latest fixes.
- a particular Map piece will not show too fast;
- Ending Titles will show up properly - there were instances Narrator doesn't tell you what happened to each of the characters and Hero himself;
- improved Variables of ending dialogue;
- improved "hotspots" in some occasions to make clicking on them easier [so you don't have to be over-precise with your positioning];
- targetFrameRate upped to 60;
- infinite loop bug should be fixed [but I will continue to monitor reports on this one];
- some small stuff.
Even if current issues are solved [hopefully], I will still touch up things via couple small updates.
All the best!
GRUNND LAUNCH DAY BROADCAST
"I'm excited to see how my approach with less focus on puzzles and more on exploration and experiencing the story will be received, and how the players like the world I've created for them." Said Olafs Osh, the developer and director of SEKTAHOUSE.
In GRUNND you find yourself having overslept on the train ride home from work; In a panic, you jump off at the next station and find yourself in Bytown, a seemingly ordinary town just before the sundown. As it happens, you soon find out that the last train back to civilization has just left and you have no other choice but to explore the surroundings.
The people you encounter in Bytown are bizarre, and while some may seem helpful at first, it quickly becomes apparent that many have their own agenda. Realising things aren’t quite as they seem, you come to terms that sleep isn’t in the cards for you this evening.
FEATURES
RICH STORY. Branching dialogues with different outcomes and stories with multiple endings.
100% HANDCRAFTED. All what your eyes will see is 100% handcrafted for GRUNND.
FULLY VOICED English version of the game. Hear the characters.
ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK from a British composer Edward Watkins alongside southern vibes from Vudu Sister.
