This page lists revisional differences between the versions that were released for Windows on Steam.

Options Screen#

Options Screen

Translation Credits

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.0

Ver. 1.2.0

On the options screen, icons for newly supported languages were added and the monetization permission tooltip was moved slightly.

Credits for newly supported languages were added to the ending cinematic.

Quitting#

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.3

The Spanish, Russian and Chinese language replaced their generic icon on Ver. 1.1.2 and the German language replaced it on Ver. 1.1.3.

Prison#

Plate#

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.3

The plate was made to shine a bit more on its edge.

Additionally, a subtle white circle will shine on the plate occasionally as a hint to the player that he has to interact with it to progress.

Guard's Second Reaction#

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.3

tsioque-room1-guard-be-quiet-106.mp4
tsioque-room1-guard-be-quiet-113.mp4

A new animation was added when Tsioque drops her medallion on the plate a second time. In the previous version, the first reaction is re-used.

Also, when the guard's animation ends, he will not abruptly turn his head anymore.

Elevator Room#

Since Ver. 1.1.3, it is now possible to use the sticky spiderweb on the guard when he grabs your feet. Doing so will make a splat sound effect and result in this unique fail sequence.

Tower Chase Minigame#

Because of the players' criticism that the tower chase minigame was too long and too difficult, the developers decided to shorten it in Ver. 1.1.5 by about 50 seconds. The buttons you have to click won't move over the screen too fast anymore and won't be too small.

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.5

A shorter music track has been added. Interestingly, the new music track is not normalized and therefore slightly quieter.

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.5

While the original version had seven checkpoints, the new version only has two.

Text Changes#

English#

Dialogue

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.0

teapot_kettle_empty

German#

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.2.0

"My beloved child" the mother speaks,
"to save our kingdom, that is my duty".
Very soon she sets out into battle,
the royal child stays at home saddened.

"My beloved child" the mother speaks,
"to save our kingdom, is my duty".
Very soon she sets out into battle,
the royal child stays at home saddened.

The word "das" was removed but the comma was kept which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. The original version makes perfect sense but the developer probably wanted to squeeze the text.

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.0

Ver. 1.2.0

The subjects-with fearful concern -
hope for a good end to the untertaking.
Only one of them had evil in mind,
he wants to harm the precious queen.

The subjects-with fearful concern -
hope for a good end to the untertaking.
Only one of them had evil in mind,
he wants to harm the precious queen.

The subjects - with fearful concern -
hope for a good end to the untertaking.
Only one of them had evil in mind,
for he wants to harm the precious queen.

The word "ängstlichen" was corrected to "ängstlichem" which makes much more sense in the German language. The second line was squeezed.

Spaces were added after "Untertanen" and "denn" was added in the fourth line.

Once the queen is taken off the castle,
the mage has already climbed upon the tallest tower.
And akin to a nightly, black towel,
his curse lies upon the castle.

Once the queen is taken off the castle,
the mage has already climbed upon the tallest tower.
And akin to a nightly, black towel,
his curse lies upon the castle.

Once the queen is taken off the castle,
the mage has already climbed upon the tallest tower.
And akin to a nightly black towel,
his dark curse lies upon the castle.

The second line was squeezed.

A comma was removed. "finsterer", an adjective, was added.

Ver. 1.0.6 hotfix

Ver. 1.1.0

With the Imps' weapons: Sword, lance and axe,
misery spread across the castle.
The brave princess, with courage and wit,
put up futile resistance.

With the minions' weapons: Sword, lance and axe,
misery spread across the castle.
The brave princess, with courage and wit,
put up futile resistance.

The first line was squeezed and "Imp" was changed to "Wichtel".

Additionally, not depicted here, Ver. 1.2.0 squeezed one line on page 10 of the intro in the German translation.

Spanish#

Ver. 1.1.0

Ver. 1.2.0

Long, long ago, in a land near but far,
A kingdom under a double star,
Governed by a wise and sweet ruler,
Loved by everyone, the Nice Queen.

Always near, beside her throne,
Was Tsioque, the little princess.
Accompanied, in unison
Where the queen went, she went.

Long ago, in a land not very far,
A kingdom under a double star rose,
By a wise and sweet ruler it was governed,
Called the Sweet Queen, a blonde.

Beside the throne, always near,
Always was Tsioque, the little princess.
It was difficult to find them alone,
Because where the queen went, the girl went.

But soon this time of venturing would end.
Terrible news came from other towns:
The phoenix, a mythical creature,
Had destroyed everything in its path.

Soon the time of good ventures ended
Terrible news came from other towns:
The phoenix, a mythical creature,
Was leaving everything in its path to burn

Ver. 1.1.0

Ver. 1.2.0

Russian#

In the intro pages, the interlude pages and the ending pages, the Russian translation that was added in Ver. 1.1.0 had its text aligned to the left which was changed in Ver. 1.2.0 to make it aligned to the center. Also:

Ver. 1.1.0

Ver. 1.2.0

Ver. 1.2.1

Spacing was slightly changed. As mentioned before, alignment of the text became centered in this version. The quotation marks changed.

Spacing was slightly changed again. Unfortunately, the quotation marks became broken in this version.

Further Changes#

Ver. 1.2.1 - June 25, 2019#

Steam announcement

  • Japanese translation updated.
  • Bug fixes.

It is currently not known what bugs were fixed in this version. The quit button.

Ver. 1.2.0 - April 12, 2019#

Steam announcement

  • New features:
    • A quit button was added which appears while playing and hovering your mouse-cursor over the top-right corner of the screen. Even though the patch notes say that this was added in Ver. 1.2.1, it was actually added in this version.
    • New languages added: Italian, French, Portuguese-Brazil, Japanese.
  • Spanish translation updated.
  • When deleting your progress, the German, Spanish and Russian translations no longer use an equivalent of "Are you sure that you want to delete your progress?" and instead resort to using "Are you sure?" like the other translations, therefore rendering the elaborate version unused.
  • Bug fixes (According to the developers, two game-breaking bugs and 10+ smaller bugs were fixed):
    • A game-breaking bug was fixed where your coins would be gone after the guard near the top of the tower starts chasing you. Instead, when continuing, the game will behave as if the stairs mini-game had already been cleared. This was also possible in Ver. 1.1.2. and prior albeit with a different timing when to quit.

Ver. 1.1.5 - February 21, 2019#

Steam announcement

  • This version shortened the tower chase minigame by about 50 seconds due to the players' feedback.
  • Bugfixes.
  • The bug where the game started up with the Chinese language by default on some systems was fixed.

Ver. 1.1.4 - February 08, 2019#

Steam announcement

  • Bugfixes.
    • A softlock was fixed that happened when using an incompatible item with the cup inside the slime and then on a portrait on the wall right after.
  • One bug was introduced where on some systems, the game would start up with the Chinese language by default.

Ver. 1.1.3 - December 13, 2018#

    • Fixed issues with the kitchen desk if all three tea cups were collected and the game was saved and resumed while viewing the kitchen desk.

Ver. 1.1.2 - November 28, 2018#

Steam announcement

  • Improvements in translations:
    • When quitting in the main menu, the generic quit icon has been replaced by translated text on the Russian, Spanish and Chinese language setting.
  • Bug fixes (according to the developers, 20 bugs were fixed):
    • In the mirror room, closing a book no longer assumes a hand mouse cursor until you hover over something else. Instead the mouse cursor will be normal.
    • In the huge spiderweb, quitting right after clicking on the wooden wheel will not render the wooden wheel unobtainable anymore. However, the sticky spiderweb that comes with it will still be unobtainable from this version onward at least until Ver. 1.2.1.
    • Fixed a game-breaking bug that caused the wooden sticks to be gone if you quit after clicking on the first one.
    • Fixed a game-breaking bug where one wooden stick would be gone if you quit after picking up the first one after climbing up from the spiderweb.

    • Fixed a bug where the inventory bag would become stuck if you quit while dropping a second coin on the stairs near the top of the tower.
    • Fixed a soft-lock in the late game when clicking on the telephone and keeping your menu opened.
    • After the cutscene where the wizard sticks earplugs in his ears, after dropping the chandelier on the guard's feet, if you quit as soon as the guard chases you your coins would be gone and the game would be unwinnable. This version didn't fix the issue but instead causes your inventory bag to become stuck until you pick up a new item. This behavior would change in Ver. 1.2.0.
    • Fixed a bug that allowed you to interrupt the picking up of the mace inside the dragon's stomach by clicking on the fluids, causing the mace to become unobtainable until you quit and resume.
    • Fixed a game-breaking bug that causes the cup inside the slime to become unobtainable when using the sieve on it and quitting right after it leaves your inventory.
    • Fixed a bug where picking up the explosive pebbles and then walking towards the fridge allowed you to click on the fridge again, making you arrive there abruptly.
    • In this version and onward, when Tsioque finds the little black button in the washing machine, quitting while she holds it in the air and resuming will cause the inventory bag to become stuck until you obtain another item.
    • Fixed a game-breaking bug where you lost your mirror, the inventory became invisible and the throne couldn't be clicked on anymore, when quitting while running away from the wizard on the screen after using the mirror.

  • Bug fixes:

    • Fixed a bug that lets you keep the explosive pebbles if you quit right after using them on the slime. The game softlocked when using them on the wizard.
    • Fixed a game-breaking bug where your mirror will be gone if you use it to reflect the wizard's shot, then run away and quit right after.

  • Gameplay change:
    • Prior to this version, the mace would only remain on the floor after escaping the dragon if the zebra was not freed yet. This version changed that so the mace will always remain on the floor, making it significantly easier to find an achievement that requires the mace later on.

    • In the very first room, when quitting right after clicking on Tsioque, your inventory bag will no longer be invisible.
    • During the wall sneaking mini-game, pressing right-click won't make an inventory sound.
