Very small patch regarding some map deadends and unity version problems.

------

------

How often do you intend to update the Early Access version?
As often as possible, but it will be weeks, maybe even months since we're only a two-man team.

Does the game work on OSX?
Absolutely!

And Linux?
Oh yes!

Consoles? Mobile?
Nope. Maybe in the future consoles might be interesting but we need some serious sales figures before this is realistic.

I found a bug or I got suggestions!
Let us know on the steam forums!

What about multiplayer?
We'd love to do a co-op multiplayer, but it's not really viable right now. Help us out by helping Hexters to get some wind under it's wings and it becomes more realistic :)
