VERSON 1.2 UPDATE! 🎉✨

GESTALT: The Fifth Day [2023]
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Hello everyone!

I'm very happy to say that GESTALT: The Fifth Day has received an update! The main page has already been updated, so if you download the game now, you'll be downloading the updated version! Your normal save files should work just fine between versions, so you won't lose any progress or past playthroughs. This update includes new features, some quality of life changes, bug and error fixes, and some new/altered content. Here is the full list of patch notes for this update:

Bugs and Errors

  • The scream from the Mother scenario Day 2 no longer continues through to the next day upon failing the scenario.
  • The sequence break in the Plants scenario on Day 3 no longer takes you to the Drain scenario in the basement.
  • The idle/hover asset from the Training scenario on Day 4 has been adjusted and fixed.
  • The missing asset from the Training scenario on Day 4 has been found and added.
  • The missing asset from the Eternity scenario on Day 4 has been found and added.

Quality of Life and New Features

  • The Options screen is available on the pause menu instead of just the quick menu.
  • The UI on the Options menu has been touched up to further match the game's aesthetic.
  • The quick menu button options have been reformatted to better suit the playstyle of the game.
  • A new Triggers screen has been added to the pause menu so players can see the game's content warnings.
  • The splash message before the main menu now directs players to the Triggers page to see any and all content warnings.
  • The text input sections of the game have been optimized visually and is now a little less confusing.
  • Some of the audio in the game has been remixed and equalized. 
  • Transition times for scenes and audio have been adjusted throughout the game to better the game's pacing.

Content

  • New dialogue has been added to the Mother scenario on Day 2 to better establish the parameters for the scenario's good ending.
  • New dialogue has been added to the Radio scenario on Day 2 to better establish the parameters for the scenario's good ending.
  • New dialogue and visuals have been altered and added to the Eternity scenario on Day 4.
  • Some dialogue has been replaced in the Ritual scenario to do content. This new dialogue better reflects Wicke's overall character arc.
  • Super Emma Mode has been added to the game. How do you access it? Great question. :)
  • Finally, a spoiler-free walkthrough has been added to the game files. It will be available as a .txt file in the main folder beside the game's .exe file, so you can't miss it. This walkthrough contains solutions to all scenarios of the game for players who need a little help.

And that's all for this Version 1.2!

I can't say it enough, but thank you to everyone who's been playing this game. We're almost at 1k views so far which is a little nutty, and this game has been so fucking fun for me to work on. This is likely going to to be the first and last update for this game, but if there's any major bugs or errors that still got missed, please feel free to let me know and I'll gladly make another one. I love Wicke's story and I'm glad I'm getting to share it with you all, so thanks for playing, it really means the world to me. 

I hope you guys like whatever is the next thing I work on!
