Simon the Sorcerer Origins – Ver. ??? (Mystery of the First Wizard)

Release date: TBA
Patch notes:

THE MYSTERY OF THE FIRST WIZARD
Let’s start with a Bonus Quest! Yup, that’s right, a BONUS QUEST!
Starting from Chapter 4, you’ll be able to get your hands on a new quest item in the Academy. Keep your eyes open and complete the quest to uncover new information about the past of the Magic World and, maybe, about the future… – No spoilers! I’m looking at you, back there!

PIXEL LOVERS
A friendly, drooling, mimic told us that some of you might like to enjoy a more “classic” experience. Because of that, we added a new OLD PC effect you can enable via the VIDEO section in the OPTIONS menu. – Don’t worry, pixel hunting is still very much a thing we’re happy to leave in the past.

DON’T STOP THE MUSIC
We are glad to hear that many of you enjoyed the presence of the PONY DLC, but it turns out that literally NO ONE likes having to restart the classic soundtrack in every single room. Who would have thought? So from now on, the PONY cassette player will remain active until you stop it by interacting with it. – We’d punish the game designer, but he’s already miserable as it is.

THE GALLERY OF HORRORS
After our latest patch, some of you may have encountered a bug in the game’s GALLERY that would force you to restart the game. It’s gone now! – You now have no excuse NOT to look at our concepts.

SETTING THE HATS STRAIGHT
There was a small issue with the graphics of some hats in the luminosity settings. We fixed it. – What? Did you expect another joke?

Simon the Sorcerer Origins – Ver. ???

Release date: ???
Patch notes:

ADDED GRAPHICS MODE SETTING AT GAME START

When you launch the game, you’ll now be able to choose the graphics mode you prefer.

MAGIC LANTERN & MISSING GRAFFITI

Some visual elements in the Magic Lantern room weren’t updated correctly.

NOT-SO-MAGICAL DISCOVERIES

Stone fragments were not updated and some inscriptions were barely visible.

ETERNIS (FINALLY) INFELICIS

This will display correctly now.

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

Several in-game camera shots weren’t updated properly. – Fixed.

KAPITALISM

Fixed an issue where some of Mundus dialogue lines were not playing in the correct order.

ANNOYING OWLS

In very rare cases, a game-blocking situation could occur in Sordid’s Laboratory. This should no longer happen.

MUSIC, MAESTRO!

We heard you’ve really been enjoying the soundtrack, so we raised the volume a little. Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with the dialogues.

MARATHON RUNNER

We identified and resolved an issue that prevented the “Marathon Runner” achievement from unlocking.
