Update v1.2.0 is here! You can now take a seat on a bench around town and save and share your own body paint presets. We’ve seen some of the designs you’ve made, and they were too good to lose! 🥺

The LONG WAITED Steam Workshop is now open! This is our first time supporting mods through Steam Workshop, so there may be a few rough edges. If you’re a modder, we’d love to hear how it goes when you try to get your mod working with the game. Tell us what works, where you get stuck, and what would make the process easier (join our Discord server[discord.gg])

All Workshop submissions must follow Steam’s Community Rules and Guidelines. To keep the Workshop welcoming for everyone, we’ll remove content that violates those rules.

ABOUT CRASHES. Thank you for sending us your feedback and bug reports. Your reports helped us track down issues with loading, scene transitions, and achievements. This update reduces memory usage in several areas, fixes a rendering issue that could cause the GPU to hang, and gives you a choice when loading stalls. We’re continuing to investigate freezes and crashes reported during longer sessions.

Here’s the full changelog.

• Ciel and NPCs can now sit on benches around the city and at points of interest. Ciel can use her phone, take seated selfies, and use Photo Mode while sitting.

• Added a Steam Workshop browser to the main menu, with search, previews, subscriptions, and downloads. The update also adds opt-in support for code mods, with protections for ranked scores.

• Added custom body paint presets. Save and reload named designs, export the body and face as two PNGs to the game’s Bodypaints folder, or import a pair shared by another player.

• Fixed an issue that could leave the world partially loaded after returning Home or leaving a point of interest such as the Stadium. The game now waits for the required world and player systems before handing back control.

• Added recovery options for stalled loads. Choose Keep Waiting to let loading continue or Return to Main Menu to go back.

• Reduced memory usage for selected textures through more efficient compression that preserves their appearance.

• The previous run’s procedural world is now cleared after you arrive Home, freeing its resources earlier.

• Scene transitions release unused assets before loading the next area, reducing how much of the old and new areas must be held in memory at once.

• Fixed cached point-of-interest assets being kept in memory when returning to the main menu.

• Fixed temporary phone previews and graphics resources lingering in memory after they were no longer needed.

• Precomputed mesh collision data during the build to reduce collision setup work during loading.

• Improved NPC loading so a missing NPC model is less likely to interrupt preparation of the rest of the crowd.

• Fixed a Forward+ lighting issue that could cause the GPU to hang under certain combinations of lights and reflection probes.

• Improved performance near the swimming pool.

• Fixed the requirements for Human Explorer and Explorer (sincere apologies to anyone who was currently attempting these achievements 😭😭). Both now use the eight destinations shown on the map, including the subway. The Mall gym is no longer a separate requirement. Human Explorer requires all eight in a single eligible run, while Explorer counts visits across runs.

• Fixed Exit dialogue skipping lines before they could be read.

• Fixed pausing during The Long Way Home completion or the arrival sequence at Home interrupting the transition.

• Fixed revisited areas in Classic Mode sometimes using a different layout.

• Fixed mud interactions triggering from invalid positions or through obstacles.

• Fixed distorted subway passenger models and a body rig issue affecting the Stadium referee.

• Fixed subway rides incorrectly counting toward travel distance goals.

• Fixed riding poses failing to restore when remounting after certain interactions.

• Fixed worn clothes and items losing track of their equipped state when moved between inventory slots.

• Fixed the Head Bag stopping its durability timer while still worn after selecting another item or a clothing slot.

• Restored the body paint for Clown 1. The full preset now applies both face and body paint.

• Subway rides now take you to a real station about 500 m away, and you can ride back.

• Home is now marked on both the minimap and the expanded map. When it’s outside the visible map area, an arrow at the edge points toward it.

• Improved hand poses and camera framing while seated. NPCs can stay on benches longer and react more naturally to nearby activity.

If you run into an issue after updating, please use the dedicated bug-report section on our Discord. Include your PC specs and what you were doing just before the issue. For a freeze or crash, it also helps to know roughly how long you’d been playing and which area you were in.

Thank you for sharing your bug reports and feedback. Your suggestions help us decide what to improve next, and several changes in this update come directly from them.

Optimization remains an ongoing priority. While this update focuses on new content, quality-of-life improvements, and fixes, we’re continuing our work on performance, memory usage, and stability.

• Fixed subway passengers blocking the aisle.

• Fixed items being lost when replacing an item with a full inventory.

• Increased the frequency of points of interest (⚠️ as many of you requested ⚠️) and reduced long stretches of travel without encountering one.

• New cosmetic accessories and the dog collar are available from Shy, without requiring discovery.

• Civilian and reporter encounters can now be skipped from the beginning at every rank, with the normal loss outcome still applied.

• Added a visible Use preset action and made double-clicking to edit presets more reliable.

• Reduced repeated preview loading when editing character presets.

• Improved stability when changing outfits and character customization.

• Updated translations for new content, settings, and messages across all 12 supported languages.

Your existing saves and progression are preserved. The point-of-interest rebalance may change the layout generated by an existing Free Mode seed.
