Inventory Fix Update + More

The Church in the Darkness ™

The Church in the Darkness is an action/stealth game where you infiltrate a religious cult and the story changes every time you play. It's 1977 and your nephew has moved deep into the South American jungle. Sneak into his commune, find out what's going on, and try to get the best ending you can.

Hey everybody, Wanted to let everyone know that we did a small patch this weekend that also sets up our next update. [h3]Update 1.3 Live[/h3] First up, we just did a small update where we fixed some bugs in the inventory when using mouse control which sometimes resulted in lost items, or using items at the wrong time. Steam should have auto-updated you to version 1.3 to get this patch. This was something rare and that had been eluding us for a while, but we were able to finally pin down how to reproduce it and got it fixed. Now using the mouse with the inventory should work well, let us know if you see any other issues inventory-wise. But also in this build is the wiring for something you won't actually [b]SEE[/b] until our next patch. We've introduced a new system that tracks and saves what you collect in each game playthrough, and we're working on a cool way to display that in game, both so you can review it when you're not in the middle of a difficult infiltration but also to help you track how much of the game you've uncovered. We'll be introducing that patch in September, but slipped some of the infrastructure for it into this build, so it'll start tracking what you've collected in games as of now. I'm being a little nebulous here because I want to have it be a bit of a surprise when you release the feature later, but I think you'll like it. And as always, if you see anything weird or buggy in this build or any build, let us know in the comments below! [h3]LudoNarraCon Swag Sent & Received[/h3] As I mentioned in our last update, we had a great time showing at [url=https://www.ludonarracon.com/]LudoNarraCon [/url]- if you signed up to receive some swag as part of that you should have received your little care package in the mail by now. We know at least one fan in Sweden got theirs: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/12097543/9b8bffb8b090250fc3b97c674f0e77d886c9dbd4.jpg[/img] And if you want to catch up on our streams from LudoNarraCon, with some tips & tricks for playing as well as secrets about the game you probably didn't know, check out [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUmG_VV0zNs]talking voice acting with Arif S. Kinchen[/url] or [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6mT2UFGOaE]talking cult lore with Brock Wilbur[/url]. [h3]And One More Thing to Hint at...[/h3] We've also got one more secret in our cult, which will be cool for people who have purchased the True Believer special edition (which comes with our soundtrack and some nice Behind the Scenes videos). We're hoping to share something about that in the next few weeks. For now, remember to let us know in the comments below what you think, or if you spot any issues in the new build. And check back for more updates soon and good luck in the jungle! - Richard Director/Designer/Programmer/etc on The Church in the Darkness
