Hello players,

Apologies: in our haste to deliver you the update in time for the weekend, we missed a bug in the chapter select.

Several of you reported issues accessing later chapters after selecting a previous chapter. We have isolated the cause of this, and pushed this hotfix.

Anyone affected should try to select latest available level via chapter select, exit to menu and check chapter select again: all levels should be available once more.

We are sorry this has happened, and moved as fast as we could to rectify. We hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment of REPLACED too much.

Thank you, and apologies again.

P.S. If you know any affected Xbox players, we will push a fix for that next week.

Hello everyone.

We continue to be overwhelmed by the positive response to REPLACED. We’ve been working around the clock since launch to address issues and feedback, and today we are adding some of the most-requested new features.

While we built REPLACED from the ground up as a 21:9 cinematic experience, we appreciate that it can feel like wasted screen space - particularly for Steam Deck players. You can now remove the black bars with a toggle in the graphics menu.

We also experimented with superwide support, but the reframing created a lot of visual issues. Our scenes are built like movie sets, so outside of the frame, there’s often nothing there. 16:9 also presented issues with enemies and hacking terminals being offscreen, making the play experience worse. Sorry.

This is enabled by default now. Inevitably, skipping to the end of a dialogue also means you skip to the end of any character and camera motion for that dialogue. We’re working on a fix for the most jarring examples, but hopefully you find this useful in the meantime.

We heard you loud and clear on this one. You can now revisit any chapters you’ve completed scene by scene, and we also track the collectables for that section. This will help you in your efforts to 100% the game. This feature will also unblock the last few remaining issues where a save file was blocked by a glitch: you can go back and replay that section with the progression issue solved.

We appreciate your feedback, and thank you for the positive reviews. They make a huge difference to an indie studio like us.

Thanks again, 

Sad Cat Studios
