Sigh of the Abyss News

Hello hello ːsotaloveː and thank you for playing Sigh of the Abyss!

Today's hotfix brings the following changes:

• Added a forced wait to the first map sequence in the chapter about Sylas's group;
  
• Added a failsafe to the second map sequence in the same chapter;

These fixes should prevent softlocks when the map opens, but it's empty / devoid of clickable icons.

I have no idea why it says the discount is only 2% when it's 15% ːsotawhatː the math on the widget is wrong, but the numbers become correct when opening the bundle details. Hopefully this is a UI mistake that will solve itself in the next hours; I have already contacted Steam's support about it ːsotablushː
