The “less frustration, more pleasure” patch is here !

The patch 1.1 has been released.

Also called “less frustration, more pleasure” patch, it should improve the NaissanceE experience, especially on the platform and action sequences. Indeed many additional checkpoints in Act 2 “Going Down” and Act 3 “Breath Compression” will make these sections much less frustrating. However the feeling of fragility and danger should stay intact, as the player still needs to observe the environment and to act carefully.

The patch also contains a lot of others improvements, listed below:

ADDED:
-Invert mouse option in the option menu.
-Vsync option advertisement: “Needs to restart the game” in graphic option menu.
-Additional checkpoints in Act 2 “Going Down” and Act 3 “Breath Compression”.
-End game credits.

FIXED:
-Air conduct fan just after “Kid Toys” puzzle now propels properly player even when playing with a low frame-rate.
-Improved level design in “Kid Toys” room so player should not anymore fall accidentally from the ladders when coming from the side.
-Fixed a bug making the player blocked in the hollow pipe in air conduct final section.
-Fixed bugs in the “inconstancy ruins” in “Endless Dive” so player will not be trapped any-more and the game system now should work properly where-ever the player went before.
-Small level design improvements in the “Meet the host” chase so the path is clearer and easier.

NOTES:
This patch may beak the old saves. To avoid this follow the procedure:
-Go to: “…\Steam\SteamApps\common\NaissanceE\UDKGame\Config”
-Copy/past this file somewhere else for backup: “UDKNE_Safeguard.ini”
-Launch the updated game, then exit.
-Copy the backup file “UDKNE_Safeguard.ini” you made before.
-Past it in “…\Steam\SteamApps\common\NaissanceE\UDKGame\Config”
-Overwrite if asked.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

“Every corner of every room is lit for dramatic effect, making the game a screenshot photographer’s dream come true. Rooms aren’t just puzzle boxes, they’re tableaus: a series of Gursky readymades. The enormous Brutalist environs make up an ever-deeper underground sci-fi metropolis, fusing ancient Egyptian architecture’s monolithic tendencies with its penchant for hidden corridors. If you’re lost, you probably just haven’t looked around enough. To play NaissanceE is to explore the abandoned Death Star of the mind: The Zone from Tarkovsky’s Stalker reimagined.” Read more on killscreendaily.com

“NaissanceE is a breathtaking game that will leave you questioning everything” More on Alice’s video review

“A pure adventure of sight, sound and sensory overload. Mesmerizing yet oppressive. Will work best for those who can enjoy games that remove almost the whole human element from the picture.”

“NaissanceE is one of few games that allows for silent reflection. Loneliness doesn’t subscribe to a singular connotation. For some, it’s depression. For others, reclusiveness is comfort. Every game is open to intense interpretation, but most of them try to force some greater revelation on you. NaissanceE is an insular experience. This world is as much a vessel as those crawling geometric insects. External advancement is ancillary. Your only measure of progress is through NaissanceE’s intense examination of the self. “
