- Bug Reporter Patch - 6 February 2025
This patch adds a way for players to submit bug report data! In the settings menu there is now a bit of text at the bottom that indicates the game version. If you click on that version number ten times, your session data and game save data will be uploaded to a location where we can look at it to help fix bugs. If you encounter an issue that you want to report, make sure you ALSO post about your issue on the Steam forums or on Discord so that we can reach you with further questions. Thanks again for helping us make the game better!

Hey everyone, I'm happy to announce that we've enabled full support for Virtual Desktop and you can now play The Last Clockwinder on your Oculus Quest or Quest 2 using Virtual Desktop streaming. Because of this, we're upgrading our support tier for Virtual Desktop to "Supported (Best Effort)" What does that mean? Essentially, Virtual Desktop is a 3rd party tool. It could be changed at any time that breaks support for our game, so we can't make any promises. We will make our best effort to keep the platform supported, though, and please let us know if it's not working! -JA
