- The Spirit and the Mouse is Steam Deck Verified! - 25 October 2022
We're excited to announce that Steam has reviewed The Spirit and the Mouse and has marked us as Steam Deck Verified! This is the highest of 4 levels of compatibility by which Steam categories games, meaning that Lila is "fully functional on Steam Deck, and works great with the built-in controls and display". Big shout out to Kilearn for all those late nights pouring over Steam's documentation so that we could get this right without a Steam Deck of our own. Speaking of which, if you DO have a Deck and care to share pictures of Lila and friends running on yours, please tweet @SpiritAndMouse so we can see! That's all for now. Thanks for all your feedback and lovely reviews. It's so wonderful to see you all helping villagers and wrangling Kibblins. Squeak squeak, Alex and Lucie ⚡🐭
- Patch 1.13h - More Bug Fixes! - 6 October 2022
Hello all! Thanks to your feedback and reports, we fixed a few issues in the game! Here are the changes in this patch: North Resized Kiclumsy objective trigger zone, preventing a soft lock if the player exited the zone or the game after finishing Kiscribe minigame. West Fixed softlock state occurring if the player quit the game without saving after Kilearn's first dialogue in the West Residence. Added a failsafe for players with a softlocked save due the issue mentioned above. General Fixed visual bug when triggering ending cutscene while in Electric mode. Corrected typos in English & French text. Pressing F6 on the keyboard unlocks the cursor completely. Pressing it again hides it.

Thank you so much for reaching out with your feedback! We'll continue addressing bugs and adding quality of life improvements as we learn more from you all, so please stay in touch! Here's what we've addressed in this patch: North Kiglean Fixed an issue related to cancelling and restarting the minigame: the trash count would go up even though you hadn't validated a trashcan, which was allowing a trash count to be over 4 resulting in a soft lock When exiting the game zone while you still have to zap trash, you will now be teleported back in front of the trashcan to avoid clipping through geometry Moved collisions around each trashcan during Kiglean minigame to avoid going out of bounds Added a failsafe for players who had a corrupted save file due to soft lock West Moved a trigger that was to the left of the shortcut to North: this was allowing the player to warp to North while they were…
