My apologies for any inconvenience. Here’s a breakdown of what happened:

Hinterland has 3 endings: Hopeless, Hopeful, and True. There are certain requirements that must be met to achieve the different endings, or else the game defaults to Hopeless.

There are technically two different ways to get the Hopeful ending. One of them was not triggering properly, causing the game to initiate dialogue from the True ending while not actually triggering any of the endings.

This should now be fixed. If you played the game and ended up on the last screen with no way to progress, you likely experienced this glitch and might have to revert to an earlier save. (If this is the case, let me know, and we’ll work out a way to fix it; worst case scenario, you can e-mail me your save file and I should be able to fix it manually.)

Version 1.0.3 contains a few other bug fixes:

-Fixed a fireplace glitch
-Fixed bug that allowed for obtaining multiple copies of Journal 1

And, finally, a reminder: The journals are usable items. Use them from the menu and you’ll be able to read them. You don’t technically have to read any of them except the last one if you get the True ending, but it makes the story more complete if you do.

Thanks so much for your patience, and again, I apologize for any inconveniences.
