- New Quest Line incl. New Decision + More Accessibility Updates - 10 May 2023
Hi folks (: Weโre super pleased to announce that weโve just updated the demo! We made some changes in terms of accessibility (yes, Aestik becomes more accessible by the day :D) as well as adding a bit more content for you guys to test out. NEW QUEST LINE + NEW DECISION Introducing Oddfrey on his strange quest to find nihilism in his life ๐ก It's the Oddguy's mission to preach nihilism, but poor Oddfrey stands out among the crowd - he's simply too happy in life. Help him get back on track, find nihilism, and become the true nihilistic self that he yearns to be. SETTINGS MENU Aestik now has its very own settings menu! With the new update, you will be able to customize your player experience even more as you can now individually adjust the volume of Aestikโs background music as well as SFX. After doing some playtesting recently, we became aware of the fact that screenshake can be off-puttiโฆ
