Version 0.1.3 of the South of the March Demo is now live on Itch.io and Steam!

Update Details

Wishlists and feedback are coming in from Next Fest, which is fantastic to see! Thanks to everybody who's played so far. This update is mostly fixes for any of the big bugs we've heard about, some stuff we ran into ourselves, plus a few other things.

As far as new features, there's just some quick reworking in this one:

Control Help

First, we separated self-voicing controls from the basic controls in the new game menu. They were a bit too easy to miss as it was, and there's some essential info in there for people who need it. We also made the control options scrollable so it can read out one at a time, rather than all at once.

Self-voicing controls separated in the new game menu

On the same note, you can now return to those two controls screens in the system menu.

If you need a refresher

Beyond that, we've got various bug fixes, big and small!
