This is a maintenance release with the following minor updates: Fixes a few images in the gallery which wouldn't load Updated game engine from Renpy 7.5.3 to 7.8.4 Native Apple Silicon support Please note that I do not have an Apple Silicon device to test with. So if you're using one of those devices and encounter any issues, please make sure to report it. Also, there is a beta called "oldstable" which you can opt into to revert back to version 1.4.4, in case there are any issues with the new version which need to be fixed.

This is a maintenance release. It doesn't add any new game content. Changes in this build include: Game engine updated from Renpy 7.5.1 to 7.5.3 Small update, I know. The other changes (ARM Linux support, updated Android support) aren't relevant for Steam, so not much to announce here.

Achievements are now working again. I issued an update a few days ago (~12MB) which meant achievements could be earned, but unfortunately this didn't appear to work for achievements which were already earned before that update. I've just now released another update (~33KB) which should perform a one-time re-grant of any achievements you've already earned. Even if you've already uninstalled Sickness, the re-grant should still be possible, as long as you didn't remove all of the save/persistent data for this game from your computer. The save/persistent directory can be found as follows: Windows:

TL;DR: a patch has just been made live. It's pretty big (because the engine was updated too). The last update to Sickness introduced a bug which made Sara's good ending inaccessible. Worse, it spoiled another route... for a character who may not have even shown up! Unfortunately, bug reports and support requests have always gone to Sickness' publisher rather than me (the developer) personally. For the same reason, I haven't been checking the discussions, as they would always identify any issues and pass them along to me. Which worked great... until it didn't.

It's horribly late, but here it is: the final new content update for Sickness. This update focuses on one of Suoh's friends from high school, who was briefly introduced during the Misa extra. The new content covers events prior to the beginning of Sickness, and shows off a very different side of Sara in particular. With this, development on Sickness has finally come to a close. Any new updates will only be to address bugs or typos. My efforts will now be devoted to releasing new visual novels instead. Trading cards! Something else that's horribly late. To be honest, I thought these were releas
