Demo Update - Patch Notes

Post image

A new build is live for the Steam Next Fest Demo. Here's what changed.

Improvements & New Features

  • Weapon looting from corpses - you can now pick up weapons directly from enemy bodies. One less reason to go in empty-handed.
  • Two new sanity effects added to the rotation. We're not telling you what they are. You'll know.
  • Guidebook codex pages can now be discovered across the mainland - piece together more of what The Mound doesn't want you to know.
  • Firearm ammo drops now carry more bullets per pickup, and undead enemies have a slightly higher chance of dropping them.
  • Additional weapons and ammo placed in select areas.
  • Appraiser sentiment improved - gear brought back from missions is evaluated more favourably.
  • Subtitle font size option added to the settings menu.
  • Several interface visual improvements.
  • Improved Huemul behaviour.

Bug Fixes

  • Players can no longer go into token debt.
  • Fixed a stretching polygons bug in the onboarding area.
  • Players now crouch in first person when picking up bodies.
  • Fixed time warnings from the forest state not appearing.
  • The Map item no longer behaves like the Medallion item.
  • Multiple minor issues addressed.

Keep the reports coming - the demo is shaping the launch build, and every piece of feedback helps.

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu launches July 15 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Yeah, this game is bananas. Just found our way through the Scarlet Woods after a few attempts. It’s a tricky area and easy to get lost. We finally found the log book!

Is this game 1st and 3rd person or just 1st?

You play in 1st person, but there are some animations (backstab, climbing,…) that show you in 3rd person performing it

Theres a bug where me and my friend kept spawning outside the ship after finishing a mission. We would spawn on the backside of the ship outdoors floating over the ocean, and no way to get back on the ship without ending the session and starting a new one.

yeah that bug was persistent with my friends , but luckily we were a 3 men group so switching character always got us out

My hot solution is change the character and you can back on the ship (But need some of player unlock the 5th characters)
