Update: 07/16/2022

Hello! Our first content update is here, just in time for Steam VR Fest 2022! Now is a great time to pick up (or re-pick-up) The Callisto!

Know what's cool? Seeing all the little secrets people are finding. There's so many tiny details in the world that really require you to investigate. Nearly every locked door can be opened somehow, but figuring out exactly how can be quite a challenge. Believe it or not: there's an achievement for collecting every single collectible lore. And no one has gotten it yet. Do you want to be the first?

FEATURES (The good stuff)

• HTC Vive Support: Hooray! The Callisto now officially supports HTC VIVE. Several controls will change their bindings automatically if the game detects a VIVE Wand.
• New assets and props: new sciencey and technical props have been added to the game, adding to the diversity of environments and improve the visual appeal of a hotel that is obviously a front for criminal activity. Some more personal props have been added to guest rooms as well.
• New Conversations: More conversations between REGAC, the Inspector, and the suspects have been added, expanding the intrigue and web of lies surrounding the hotel's murders.

CHANGES (This is just the start)

• The R.I.T. device and hacking buttons have been switched for player comfort. Pull the trigger to open the R.I.T. screen, and press the right "B" Button to hack (or click right touchpad if on VIVE).
• Some environments have been rearranged, recolored, or otherwise modified visually to help players get lost less often. In addition, labels have been added to many doors. Finally, a map of the upper levels has been added to a reception desk in the cafe.
• The GWEN! song "cosmic_ocean" is now 75% more stuck in my head
• Additional captions have been added for important sounds.
• Voices have been normalized better so they are more audible, particularly during intense music.
• Grabbable objects have had their grab behavior and grab points overhauled to make grabbing and holding objects seem more natural.
• Modified spatialized sounds on several objects.
• Moved the location of some credits and labels for Aesthetics
• F.R.E.D.'s spoken lines are 200% louder.
• Updated some graphics and textures with new text & animations—make sure to check out the screen saver in the coffee shop!

BUG FIXES (We called an exterminator)

• Fixed a bug where the Conference area from the lower south hallway would not load.
• Fixed a problem where teleportation movement would not trigger loading of different sections of the map.
• News recording at the beginning should no longer interrupt the opening puzzle sequence.
• Fixed some collision/validity issues with teleport movement.
• Grounded Check is now more consistent.
• Fixed some light mapping and occlusion issues.
• Grabbable objects should no longer collide with the hand holding them.
• Coffee cup in the Upper Halls should no longer fall through the world.
• Fixed a bug where trying to exit the lift while it was in motion would trap you—which, while definitely a creepy addition, was not intentional.
• Maintenance fire should no longer spontaneously reignite. (We blame Morley)
• Fixed several bugs which prevented specific case missions from advancing.
• Left another dish of food out for Wesley, in hopes that he shows up

TECHNICAL CHANGES (if you're super geeky about this kind of thing)

• GIBPlayerController now recognizes HTC Wand as a valid controller type (ControllerType.Wand)
• Loaded levels list now treated as a HashSet to optimize level loaders

- Nerf Farmer : Chicken bounces 5 -> 4
- Holy circle: Max damage (70 -> 65%)
- Fix Achivement

Sorry for your convenience and we'll do our best to finish this maintenance ASAP.
Also we also trying our best for our user's community.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best Regards
SOF Team

Patch 0.17.0 will launch 07/17/22 for testing purposes before the free-to-play launch. Downtime will begin 7:00pm EST and is expected to be down for 2 hours. This DOES NOT mean the game will be free-to-play until the original planned date of 07/18/22. The exact time is still to be confirmed but we will announce everywhere once it's live.

PLEASE NOTE: The game will be free-to-play on BOTH Steam and EGS. It is not exclusive to EGS only.



With patch 0.17.0 we have completely changed how the economy works in Fault.
We felt that with the previous system, the game did not feel rewarding enough for the average player. This complete rework removes the mark system and replaces it with Cores, these cores can be redeemed for fragments which allow you to unlock many different items found within the store. Below we have taken the time to fully explain this new system to our community.‍



What are Cores?
Cores are a chest that contains high-value rewards and requires a key to unlock their contents.

• Cores can be purchased individually or in bundles with coins and come with their respective keys.
  
• Cores can always be purchased in the in-game store and are also featured on the sales screen at a discount, with a limited number of purchases per player.
  
• Players can select up to 3 fragments to “augment” the value of a Core. This increases the value of the Core’s contents by the value amount of the fragments.‍

Types of Cores
There are two types of Cores in Fault:

• Lesser Cores are mainly granted from high-value in-game achievements and event rewards and contain both cosmetic and hero fragments.
  
• Prime Cores are only purchasable with Coins and mainly contain cosmetic rewards.‍

What are Orbs?
An Orb is a chest that contains low-value rewards and does NOT require a key or matter to unlock its contents.

• Orbs cannot be purchased with coins or Matter.
  
• Orbs are granted as in-game rewards for low-value achievements and event rewards.
  
• If the Orb only obtains a certain type of content, it can be categorized by the content type.
  
• If the Orb only contains fragments related to a hero, it can be considered a Hero Orb ie, Gideon Orb, Murdock Orb, etc.
  
• If the Orb only contains fragments for a monetization category (for example, skins), it can be considered a Skin Orb ie, Skin Orb, Ward Orb, etc.
  
• If the Orb only contains rewards exclusive to a progression/reward system (for example, Paragon/Honor system, coming soon), it can be considered a Paragon Orb ie, Paragon Orb, Event Orb (Halloween, New Years, etc.), etc.‍

Types of Orbs
There are three types of Orbs found within Fault: Lesser, Common, and Prime Orbs. These orbs can contain Matter, Fragments and Keys. Each level of Orb has a higher chance to drop higher tier rewards.

How to Earn Orbs
There are many ways to earn orbs in game to get a chance at some awesome loot, below we have listed how to earn them:

• Playing a Match
  
• Account Progression
  
• Hero Mastery System
  
• First Game of the Day
  
• First Win of the Day
  
• Daily Challenges
  
• Weekly Challenges
  
• Honor System/Level (Coming soon)‍

In Fault, you are able to re-roll fragments from your inventory in order to receive a random new fragment.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍



We have a feature that allows you to consume your fragments (of the same type) to rent out skins or heroes for 24 hours.


Once you have 3 of the same fragment, you can combine them and receive the reward they are tied to permanently, fragments exist for every item within the Fault in-game store.


We have begun working with an outside group named Pocketful of Quarters (https://www.poq.gg) who run events and tournaments for tons of different games. As a PvP game, we are very excited to work with them in the future, as they will be running events with some familiar faces in the Fault community. PoQ has a interoperable game token that players can earn in events and spend in many different games. This currency, named Quarters, can also be used on their website for cool prizes and other in-game goodies from popular titles. Our players will have the ability to link their accounts with PoQ in order to obtain and spend Quarters directly in Fault and everywhere they are accepted. Quarters can not be sold and are simply a way for gamers to have more freedom with their purchases.

Each Fault Coin will translate over to 4 Quarters if you link your account to PoQ.

This system is completely optional and you can continue to purchase Coins like you always have done.

Recently we started work on implementing T4 skin visual effects. The list below is all the currently implemented visual effects for these skins. Going forward with each new hero release, T4 skins will come with their visual effects ready to go. We plan on finishing the rest of the currently unimplemented T4 skins in the coming weeks.‍‍





Full List:

• Magma Scarab Grux
  
• Novaborn Greystone
  
• Undertow Gideon (Not his Q currently)
  
• Rogue Kallari
  
• Rogue Sparrow
  
• Northern Mystic Morigesh
  
• Summertime Twinblast
  
• Heavy Armor Belica
  
• Bad Santa Riktor‍

Name Changing
You can now change your name directly in game by clicking your name/avatar/currency.

• 10,000 Matter
  
• 400 Coins
  
• 1,600 Quarters‍

• Toxic Countess
  
  
  
• Polar Ops Boris
  
  
  
• High Tech Boris
  
  
  
• Epic Astro Gideon (Epic Games Store Exclusive)
  
  
  
• Dark Side Gideon‍‍
  

Today marks two years of Fault's early access period!
We are very grateful for the continued support from our community and we know we could not have made it this far without everyone who has stuck with us all this time. This journey has been amazing and we are very excited to take the next step towards full release with you all.We had planned to hold an anniversary stream to go over our journey with you all. Unfortunately, we have rescheduled the stream and will provide more details to everyone soon. In the meantime, we have made some of our early videos public again for today so that everyone can take a look back at where we started.
