A Highland Song – Ver. 1.1.0

Release date: December 18th 2023 (North America, Europe) / December 19th 2023 (Japan)
Patch notes:

No patch notes available. This update brings the following to the game:

adds Look Further Mode

If you’ve been following along, Look Further adds a new way to scan the current level by zooming out a little further than usual. This mode gives you more context of where you are, and this latest update adds route highlighting so you can see the layout of the level clearly, as well as a handy hint from Moira as to what you might want to try next.

We’ve also added a checkbox in Settings to disable the lightning effect, for anyone who finds flashing lights disruptive, and fixed an issue where the game didn’t save after completing a run until you started the next one (it now saves right after the summary panel).

There’s a few little story and level fixes as well, including fixes for an explosion that soft-locked the game (pretty bad explosion), and some upside-down climbing.

Additional notes: none
