Thanks for playing Stratagem Lost! We've taken some of the feedback and errors that people have found and implemented solutions! There are some issues that are still being worked on.

0.4.0.1

Fixes/Additions

• Fixed KO challenges still being declared a failure if the player KO'd exactly the amount of enemies.
• Added "Screen Flash" toggle for players with photosensitivity issues. Flashes during combat and novel segments will be turned off if the toggle is set to "OFF".
• The Escape key can now be used to exit menus, functioning just like the "Back" button.
• Fixed Wisp's critical animation still triggering the rumble, even if the player had "Screen Shake" turned off.
• Added a link to our Bluesky account on the main menu.

Known Issues

• The game might slow down for some lower end players on the Battle Forecast when trying to initiate combat with Hazel or against the boss in Chapter 1, or against the boss in the Challenge Map. They are using color paletted code, which may be touched up in the future for performance reasons.
• Auto text mode may slower than expected during some voiced scenes.
• If you're starting the game with a controller plugged in, Steam may or may not receive inputs correctly. Unplugging and replugging the controller may fix this. If it continues, playing the Itch version may fix this.
• Opening the glossary on the end path menu while opening another menu might cause a crash.

If you encounter a crash, you can screenshot the error popup and send it to us at support@hybridfiction.com, or show it to us in our official community Discord.
