SUBTITLE HINTS
When playing with subtitles on, this option highlights keywords and phrases that you should talk about. Subtitle hints are only available for required (amber) responses - green is still intentionally hard. We're defaulting to subtitle hints on for replay, but you can set your preferred combination in the options screen.
Typing *hint* should still remain 100% effective for progressing though!
QUESTION RECALL
Up and down arrows now recall your most recent questions, so you can fix typos and add / remove words quickly.
1.03 update
The 1.03 patch is incoming with the following notes...
NEW - replay game ending (available if you haven't started a new game)
NEW - windowed mode
and
Increased *wait* time for multithread loading (fix for slower machines)
Repost achievements on launch (fix for any missing achievements)
Added app_id file to root directory (for linux testing)
Added / removed keywords and phrases for balancing
Added GUI options for hardware flags and acceleration
------
Note for players running a BETA branch or using launch params:
You will need to reset these options after updating, available in the init.json file (browse local files option from Steam properties) or from the options screen in the GUI.
E.g.
{"hardwareAcceleration":true,"inProcessGPU":false,"windowStyle":"full"}
For no hardware acceleration:
"hardwareAcceleration":false
For the inProcessGPU launch parameter flags:
Remove the --params from your Steam game properties tab.
"inProcessGPU":true
If you have not been running a branch or using params - touch nothing :-o

2. Use the same words as your patients
