- PlayStation Announcement- Patch 1.25 - 2 June 2015
Hello spooky soldiers! We announced this week on our social media channels, that Whispering Willows will be coming out on PlayStation 4 and Vita this summer! We are very excited about this, and hope you'll support us on our new consoles ːCatacombSkullː Well still of course support all versions equally and we’ve continued to fix bugs. Patch Notes: We adjusted how the monsters in the garden maze react, so they should snag you multiple times now instead of allowing you to easily just run past them We made ladders more forgiving to climb, so you don’t have to be quite as close to go up or down them We fixed several places in the game where text would overflow the dialogue box on certain languages Fixed bug where the Mac version was continuing to have issues displaying multiple resolutions
