After looking at countless videos and streams of Forlorn, as well as reading feedback on the community forums, it became clear that the game was a bit too difficult and the exploration too lackluster. Update 0.10014 is bringing more structure to the exploration and a more streamlined experience towards actually completing the game.

Changes:

• Added hints to the map indicating the rough area where journal pages could be found
• Map updates when a journal page is found (Adventure mode only)
• Added a compass to help with navigation (Adventure mode only)
• Daytime extended from 12 to 14 minutes in both modes
• Campfires burn out after 5 minutes unless wood is added. Fire also damages the player now.
• Ongoing tasks are now displayed on the HUD
• Rock textures are now a little lighter to make them easier to spot in the grass
• Minor changes to the journal texts

Thanks as always to everyone who has given us feedback so far. We hope to hear back from you regarding these most recent changes.
