Patch Info

• Gameplay
  • The Iilk storyline can now be experienced in full, and the 'Iilk Fan' achievement/trophy can now be correctly attained.
  • When the appropriate conditions are met, Casey is actually given the option to "tell a white lie", and the 'White Lie' achievement/trophy can now be correctly attained.
  • More opportunity is now given for Casey to follow up on Margot's request, to ensure that it's reasonably possible for the 'Careful With Your Words' achievement/trophy to be attained.

  • On day 2, when Joe is helping Esther from the cafeteria, he will no longer float and the wheelchair will not appear in duplicate.
  • On day 2, when Casey is changing the record for Mr Pruess, she will now walk around Mr Pruess, instead of through him, and her bag won't float.

  • Players will no longer get stuck in loading, when attempting to load a save file that doesn't exist.
  • Hitting the back button will now correctly leave the chapter select screen.
  • Updated credits.

• Chapter Select issue (PS-only):
  • If you have played a game and created a save file, but haven't played through to Day 2, or through to Day 3, you will still be allowed to select those Days in Chapter Select - but as there is no save data for those Days on disk, the game will be stuck on a loading screen until you quit and relaunch through the PlayStation menus. Once you have played through enough of the game to have save data for Days 2 and 3, this issue will no longer occur.
• Achievements/Trophies:
  • Some or all of the following achievements/trophies are not achievable: 'Iilk Fan', 'White Lie', 'Careful With Your Words'.
• NMA (no more action - game doesn't continue):
  • If you have chosen to go with Lily on her rounds on Day 1, after she finishes her rounds, if you choose to accompany her back to the nurse's station, Lily and Casey become stuck at the nurse's station and the game no longer progresses.
