New faces and things remembered

2 October 2026

Areas

14 changes in this update

Baths

Something remembered - some catches carry a recording. Listen in the catch bag and follow what the baths remember
A room off the baths - a new space to discover, with a door and a chair you can move. Once opened, it stays open through later visits

Interface

Recording captions - the words stay readable below a long catch bag, and a heard clue remains after the fish is sold

People

Five new figures - new models for the attendant, lifeguard, waiting woman, laundress and porter, with their original detail and texture maps
Original textures - the figures keep all fifteen original 2048 by 2048 maps under the baths' lighting
Seated hair - the waiting woman's full hair geometry is retained, fitted around her bench and clear of the floor
The porter's case - stands beside his shoes, matching his open handed pose

Baths

Specimen tank - can no longer be used through the sitting room's locked wall
Admission gates - stop the player near their visible faces
Admission requests - gates and directories open the relevant admission item and explain when it cannot yet be bought

Fishing

Interrupted reels - Continue resumes the same concealed catch and reel, with discovery and collection rewards paid once when it is revealed
Failed saves - a catch stays concealed and retries if its reveal cannot be saved. Leaving with a never saved catch gives an extra warning before quitting
Wall casts - casts cannot reach a pool through a solid wall

Sitting room

Sofa rest - pauses behind menus, grants its steadier casts once, and cancels an unfinished rest when returning to the title
