Intrepid explorers! Our 3rd post-launch update has a new feature, which has been designed with you in mind, uncharted territory! From now on, Kim's map will begin covered and you will reveal it as you travel. As with the photo album, your progress in this area is not reset at the start of a new playthrough; this helps you plan where to go to meet new characters and discover new quests. If you have a save game, places you’ve visited in that run will already be revealed so you can continue from where you left off.
After our last update, one of our players, Jambu Kolla, suggested we include excerpts from the books, which Kim can find. We loved the idea and have picked out choice passages, which are now displayed as Kim reads the book so you will get a taste of some other great Victorian authors. If you want to see which books you haven’t found yet, there's a well-stocked bookshop in Lucknow.
We’ve also updated the travel line on the map to follow Kim’s route more closely and added a number of fixes and little bits of polish to make your Indian adventures more rewarding. We hope you enjoy this update, let us know what you think in the forums or on social media:
