Patch 1.1 Fix
Fixed the Stalker AI either not moving or not attacking. They SHOULD work properly now. Fixed the Health bar not showing up and the damage from the attack not being applied properly. Fixed the Health value resetting upon level change, save, and reload. Added a recharge delay to the Flashlight to avoid bypassing its charge state, which should reduce its abuse. Added a better Indicator to find the entrance to the City Memory. Fixed a few out of place meshes.Read full article on Community Announcements (FlabberGhast)AnnouncementsOfficial

Unexpected Delay
Unfortunately, due to an oversight on my part, the game's release will be delayed. We are awaiting a final build review from Steam and will release it as soon as possible. We will keep you updated and make an announcement. This delay is due to my inexperience with the Steamworks platform, build configurations, and testing practices. Moving forward, we will ensure that games are in a live build state before announcing a release date so we can avoid this error in the future. We hope that this does not discourage you from playing A Tale of Misery or continuing to support us. We are eager to develop, launch, and support our titles properly and will work relentlessly to improve our development cycle.Read full article on Community Announcements (FlabberGhast)
