Remastered / Casual versions explained
Starting August 4th, 2023, you'll see 2 versions of the game when you press play:
Casual Remastered version
Legacy Point and Click version
The "legacy" version is the original game, which is a traditional point and click adventure game, with a movable 3d character on a 2d background.
It is limited to 4:3 aspect ratio and comes only in English and German (full audio with voice acting for German version)
The "casual" version was released in 2013, which has many improvements, but does not have a traditional movable character you would expect a point and click game to have.
The most important improvements the casual version has over the legacy one are as follows:
Widescreen support
More crisp graphics
Interactive hint system
Skip-able mini-games
Support for steam achievements
Support for steam cloud saves
Notes:
The legacy version does not support Steam cloud or Steam achievements!
The Legacy version is only available on Windows. We have some plans to bring it to MacOS and Linux as well, but it's hard to say when or if we'll be able to do that, due to the technical limitations of the engine used in the old version of the game.
Thus, on MacOS, you can only play the Casual version.
And as always, let us know if you have any technical problems playing the game and we'll do our best to fix them asap.
And last but not least, just because the new version is not out, does not mean we'll stop supporting the Legacy version. If you run into trouble, please report it in the forums and we'll check it out.
