The Dreamcatcher
Update 1.1.0 Released for The Dreamcatcher
After collecting a lot of feedbacks, we have finished the update version 1.1.0! This update addressed some of the major user feedbacks and improved on the overall player experience of the game. Here is the detailed update list:
1. Added chapter selection function to the game:
When the player has completed any ending, a Chapter Select menu can be accessed from the main menu. In the Chapter Select menu, the player can jump to different sections of the whole game freely.
Also in the Chapter Select menu, the player can view the total number of currently collected paper hearts. If the player chooses to replay any level from the Chapter Select menu and play until the next auto save point, the hearts collected during this replay session will be accumulated to the overall collected hearts count. Thus it will be easier to unlock the secret ending.
For the player who have already finished the game before this update: You can first update to the 1.1.0 version of the game, then choose “Continue” in the main menu to load your previous save which will be just before the final endings, then finish any ending to unlock the Chapter Select menu.
2. Extended the contents of the bad ending. In the extended contents, through the interaction with the environment, the meaning of the bad ending is expressed more clearly.
3. Dramatically increased the player sprinting speed in each open areas, make it more convenient to traverse and explore the environment.
4. Optimized the second dream’s earlier player path, and also adjusted some detailed elements in the later forest areas.
5. Updated some of the art and lighting for second dream.
6. Updated part of the fourth dream’s player path design. Adjusted the maze structure in the fourth dream.
7. Further discovered and fixed bugs where player can get stuck in trees.

10. Localization update for all the new contents.
