Crossroad OS news & patch notes

Hello everyone, it's been a while and we come with another big update which focuses on localizing the game into even more languages. From now on you can enjoy the game in French, German, Polish and even Simplified Chinese! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1783800/Crossroad_OS/

Hello everyone, we just released a small update containing following changes.

• Improvement: Added the ability to freeze the floating Spirit in a place (also unfreeze it) since some found it distracting.
• Bug fix: The windows icon was missing 48x48 and 256x256 resolutions
• Bug fix: The map icon would not display correctly on some devices
• Bug fix: Logic related to 100% 3-A and 3-B worked incorrectly. Some levels from 3-A were counted for 3-B and vice versa. While this did not prevent you from 100% both areas, it would cause confusion as you'd be missing a level in 3-B but the game would tell you it's in 3-A.

Hello everyone, we just released a small update containing following changes.

• Improvement: Added more audio slider options for better customizability - Master, Sound, Music
• Bug fix: You could grab specific desktop buttons when in dark levels
• Bug fix: The candle icon (which displays how many candles you collected) would not display correctly on some devices

Hello everyone, just a released small update addressing a couple of issues. Fixed the following issues

• 2 puzzles were too large and you couldn't see the entire window. Their solution has not been changed in any way, the levels just take less space now and therefore display properly now
• Changed the order of the puzzles Blue 3 and Blue 4 so they go in a proper order difficulty wise. Blue 3 is now Blue 4 and vice versa
• Changed the puzzle RING, it had an unintended solution where you wouldn't have to interact with the middle part of the level.
