This update should fix most of the issues that have been reported for the last build - it won't be able to fix damaged save-games though... Several issues are specific to users that are playing in German and on Windows-PCs. This and several additional issues have been addressed in the new builds and should not occur when starting a new game. Skipping of cutscenes has been reworked completely for this build and quickly pressing on dialogue-options should not confuse the game any more. Several issues that occurred in specific levels have also been taken care of. Sorry once again for the issues y

Tool-Fanatic Protagonists Bundle Harper (Unforeseen Incidents) loves his Multitool and he's able to repair almost anything with it. Despite living in the 50th century, Henry (Mutropolis) is old-fashioned and prefers a good old trowel for his archaeological adventures. They're both a bit nerdy about their tools. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33051363/faf787f8b6b8ddf4141bb82085faf89b01a71aca.png Buy the bundle here: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/18956/Tool_Fanatic_Protagonists_Bundle/ Mutropolis has launched MUTROPOLIS is a lovely sci-fi adventure set on the abandoned Planet Earth.
