Hi all, The last update broke the shadows in the game so one puzzle was not solvable :( (I know the crew of Babylon 5 would love for the shadows to stay away but hey...) I fixed the issue and also made some performance improvements. Sorry for the inconvenience!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37742201/d5b7a39adb9fa3739c652f2b37b2a02bfc35dc9c.png Hi all, There is still no estimate on when the first room will be playable again. I had hoped for a quicker solution but it is what it is. Sorry :( Meanwhile, as a few of you have justifiably pointed out, it is not possible to get 100% on the achievements when half of them are locked away in the first room. So today's update adds a new button with which you can unlock all achievements for the first room. You still have to work for the ones in the second room but now it is possible to 100% the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3774

- rest of Portuguese translation - some fixes and additions in other translations
2022-04-22 18:52 UTC · Community Announcements · Olipool
Hi everyone, the update to v2.2 contains the following: - new: autosave after each puzzle unlock, you can choose between your manual and the auto save when loading (so they are two separate savegames) - new: 8 players per room allowed (not sure if it is stable, let me know! Take care of your toes!) - new: first batch of Portuguese translation (thanks to Marina Herrmann) - new: 100% leaderboard for speedrunners of room 2 (Barbara's secret), you have to solve every puzzle, the order is not important. You can check the state by pressing F1, when there is no hint left you can leave - fixed loading

- in some cases the door would not open for every player in multiplayer mode, which should now work

Some achievements weren't unlocked after restarting the game, this should be fixed now :)

- better logging for achievements, if you are still having trouble unlocking certain achievements please send me your log file. it is called "output.log" and can be found here: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Bitbeast Games\Escape Room - The Sick Colleague You can send it on the Discord or in the Steam forums or send an email to info@bitbeast-games.com Thanks! :) - more robust hint system, now showing less hints for already solved puzzles - changed the placement of some objects so you won't get stuck or the meaning of them becomes clearer

- subtitles are now played correctly in Spanish

Some of you had problems with achievements not unlocking. This may be caused if the connection to Steam is not stable or if Steam is in offline mode. So I made a change that every achievement you get is "remembered" and in case it can't be sent to Steam, the game will try again at the next start of the game. You can now view the state of your achievements in the game under the stats in the main menu https://i.ibb.co/LNMXPdJ/local-Achievements.jpg Also, one special achievement should now be easier to get. ;)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37742201/01f8a20414dfc0820a9e1a12123bb91053777288.png Hi everyone! As already announced a few days ago, the DLCs for the game are now available. If you like the game, you can support it that way despite being free-to-play. You can buy them directly from the shop page of the main game. Thank you very much in advance! :) Furthermore, I would like to thank you for the positive feedback during the first few days. We had a packed crowd on the Discord, more than I ever expected. It was nice to see you helping each other out. Also, the found bugs were endured bravely ;) Next up wil

- fixed another wall glitch - fixed voice recorder bug after loading (subtitles not in sync) - typos corrected - fixed a passage where you had to jump, walking is fine now - prepared network code for itch.io

- added colliders for not glitching through walls - attempt to fix bug when hints are stuck after loading (you need to make a new save file before this takes effect)
2022-04-07 08:30 UTC · Community Announcements · Olipool
- no accidental save after ending the game - added collider - lowered blinking speed once more

Walls should no longer disappear when loading. There can be a slight decrease of FPS until you move a bit around after loading.
