Current recommended build

If Steam auto-updates are enabled, you should be on Patch 1.017 or newer. Open the Steam client → Library → Scarlet Deer Inn → Properties → Installed Files if you need to verify the install is current.

Patch 1.017

Official notes (Steam, ~July 30–Aug 1 2026):

• Fixed dialogue bubble glitch between sentences
• Fixed game freezing when interacting with a torch and fire
• No new content

If bubbles or torch/fire interactions still misbehave, update first — then see Known Issues.

Patch 1.016

Official notes:

• Fixed broken buttons in the main menu settings
• Several minor bug fixes and stability improvements
• No new content

If the settings UI feels unresponsive, update before tweaking graphics or language options.

Patch 1.014

Official notes (important for achievements):

• Fixed “All together” achievement bug (could unlock before collecting all toys)
• Improved visibility/lighting in dark areas and chase scenes
• Fixed missing localization in the settings menu
• Minor fixes

Achievement hunters should update before trusting the All Toys checklist. Dark rooms and chase sequences also read better after this build on top of 1.012 tweaks.

Patch 1.013

Official notes:

• Added dialogue text volume setting
• Fixed fast-travel soft lock in Act 1 (after finding Lada)
• Fixed Miller’s dialogue when looking for the cobbler
• Fixed respawn after the water lever in Act 6
• Fixed a lot of typos
• Some other minor fixes

Pair with Opening Village for Lada routing, Find Shortcuts for guidestones, and Underground Labyrinth for late-act lever rooms.

Patch 1.012

Official notes:

• Fixed a bug that caused save files to be deleted in certain locations
• Fixed loading the game with a torch while a glowing bug was active
• Improved visibility in dark areas
• Fixed some dialogue typos and errors
• A few other minor bug fixes and improvements

If saves vanished or dark rooms still feel harsh, update first — then see Known Issues and Use the Torch.

Patch 1.011

Official notes:

• Fixed the broken elevator at the end of the second chase
• Added visual clues to interactive fast-travel guidestones

Pair with Survive Chase if the elevator stalled, and Find Shortcuts for guidestone routing after you update.

Patch 1.010

Official notes:

• Fixed and updated Japanese localisation
• A few minor fixes

If you play in Japanese on Steam, this build is the one to trust for UI text. This wiki’s Japanese guides are hand-written separately but align with the same village → apiary → labyrinth structure.

Patch 1.008

Official notes:

• Fixed the trap-door ladder bug in the beekeeper’s house
• A few other minor fixes

This matters during Karel’s Apiary. If a ladder or trap-door interaction felt broken before, update and retry that room before assuming a softlock.

Patch 1.007

Official notes:

• Fixed the boss fight bug
• Tweaked torch visibility in the underground
• A few other minor fixes

Boss encounters and underground lighting are easier to trust after this build. Pair with the torch guide and the underground labyrinth walkthrough if a fight or dark room still feels unfair — first confirm your client updated.

Patch 0.106

Official notes:

• Fixed bugs that caused getting stuck after respawn in different places
• A few minor fixes

If you died, respawned, and could not move or leave a geometry pocket, this is the patch that targeted those cases. Reload from Steam after updating if an old save still looks wedged.

Launch announcement

Attu Games marked release day (July 21, 2026) with a heartfelt “OUT NOW” note after about five years of development. Steam offered a 10% launch discount through July 28, 2026. The developers asked for Steam reviews and said they plan to localize into more languages. This wiki already covers English, Japanese, and Czech player guides to match common Steam language routes.

Official launch trailer (embedded in Steam news):

Soundtrack on vinyl

The team also announced a physical Scarlet Deer Inn OST on vinyl — deluxe 180g black vinyl pressed in Loděnice (Czech Republic), gatefold sleeve, two posters. Pre-orders were pointed at Xzone storefronts (worldwide / CZ / SK / PL / DE). Track titles lean into village and underground motifs (for example Vesnice, Včelař, Svetlonoš). This is merch news, not a gameplay patch — listed here so post-launch players can find it next to the patch timeline.

How this wiki uses patch info

• Recommended install: Patch 1.017 or newer (dialogue bubbles, torch/fire stability, menu settings, All Together achievement fix, plus 1.013 Act 1 fast-travel, save stability, dark visibility, and 1.011 chase/guidestone fixes)
• Walkthroughs assume a current PC Steam install when describing beekeeper ladder spaces and chase endings
• Torch advice reflects 1.007 underground visibility tweaks; shortcut pages reflect 1.011 guidestone clues
• Achievement pages use the live Steam ten-achievement set — see Achievements and the checklist

Suggested reading after updating

1. Known issues if something still fails
2. Opening Village or Karel’s Apiary for route continuity
3. Village Choices and All Toys if you are hunting Steam unlocks

Patches will not rewrite Elise’s story. They remove friction so the embroidered folk tale can land the way Attu Games intended.
