This update brings new functionality, allowing you to restart the game from previously completed chapters to see how things can turn out differently, and delivers a new episode, progressing the story of Donnie, Randolph, Mia and Silas to just one step away from its epic conclusion. NEW FEATURES Introducing - Chapters. This feature allows you to conveniently ‘rewind’ to sections of a previously completed episode to replay the game from that chapter, and see how events can turn out differently. PLEASE NOTE: this will require you to replay the rest of the episode - or episodes - in order to use this save slot to complete the story. To access this, from the Main Menu go to Save Files > > Replay > , and you’ll see arrows either side of the central image. Click these arrows to select the chapter you would like to play from. It’s recommended that you only do this on a copied save slot, rather than your main save. FIXES Solved an issue where for players using Mac, in some resolutions, the Main Menu’s cursor didn’t scale down correctly. Solved a rare issue where, in Episode 3, some players found a scene between Randolph and Donnie (where they speak via CCTV) was not always triggered. Solved an issue where in Episode 1, when Mia asks Silas questions before she goes to the Water Heating Area, the cursor could become invisible. Improved overall stability of the game. KNOWN ISSUES General, when playing with a controller we strongly recommend playing in full-screen mode as window mode can cause several issues where the input of the controller would not get recognized by the game. Episode 1, Mac only: reloading the 4th chapter using the new chapter functionality will currently result in losing the save file from the selected slot. While we work on a fix, to prevent this, ensure you are not using your main save file, and/or do not quit the game until you have reached the next save point, which is approximately five minutes after the start of Chapter 4. (Mac only) Episode 3, Decontamination Shower puzzle: if played using a game controller, the puzzle begins by displaying the controller’s shoulder buttons for one on-screen element. These are actually controlled using the analogue sticks; while this is explained with an in-game tool-tip, we intend to make this more clear in future. Episode 1, Screenshots for Chapter 02 and 03 are inverted, this will be fixed in the next patch update.

The Descendant: Now Compatible with Game ControllersSep 27, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsA new update to The Descendant has been released. This update now allows to play the game with major controllers for better immersion. NEW FEATURES The game is now compatible with major game controllers, including nVidia Shield, Steam and Xbox360 controllers New Office area added in Episode 1 FIXES Localization tweaks and improvements Solved an issue where if you copied a save file to a new slot, you had to “Resume” play for this new save file in the Episodes Menu to avoid losing progress Improved font legibility for subtitles on "Previously on...", "Next Time on..." and newscaster videos Fixed a visibility issue with the code to a keypad when playing with Donnie in Episode 2 Improved overall stability of the title KNOWN ISSUES In rare cases, you can get blocked in Episode 2 Janitors Quarters after a multiple choice dialog between Donnie and Randolph. If this issue occurs, please quit to Main Menu and resume When playing in low graphic settings, the characters can appear brighter than usual During a conversation between Mia & Silas in Janitor Quarters in Episode 1, the cursor can disappear during the choices but you can still make the choice In very rare cases the CCTV scene with Randolph and Donnie in Episode 3, is not triggered, if this happens, the workaround is to return to the Main Menu and resume play from the last checkpoint Visual effect for the last scene of Episode 2 with Mia can, in rare occasions, be missing a texture In some resolutions the cursor in the Main Menu doesn't scale down correctly. It is fully functional though Mac OSX only: In rare cases during Episode 1 playing with Mia in the Water treatment area, the character can walk slightly out of the delimited area and that affects the rendering of the character Mac OSX only: In some specific hardware configurations the game can have some sporadic fps lags but this doesn't prevent playing IMPORTANT NOTE: Switching between mouse and controller is not seamless. For a better playing experience we recommend to only play the game with one input method to avoid undesired side-effects Buttons for interactions are assigned on the fly upon camera changes The amount of interactions that appear on screen is limited to 7 so in places with lots of interactions in a small area it's necessary to move around to be able to interact with them all Unfortunately playing with a controller is not officially supported on OSX for now. To our knowledge, the nVidia shield controller is not compatible with Apple hardware, the Steam controller currently has issues and the Xbox360 controller doesn't have native support for OSX and this is unfortunately outside of our control, so we cannot provide official controller support for OSX.
