A year after its release on PS4, PS5 and PC via Epic Games, here is Bye, a creation from studio Awaceb inspired by New Caledonian culture, is arriving on Steam. For the occasion, the game has received an occasional update which will soon be available on all versions of the game. It is unique in that, rather than expanding the universe, it focuses above all on diversifying the gameplay.
So, updating Bye is accompanied by eight new melodies that the heroine can play on her ukulele to benefit from new powers. Whether it’s throwing fireballs, being able to perform acrobatics or summoning her boat, she will have a wider range of options to explore the environment and launch into battle. adventure. Added to this are new clothes that will allow him to attract specific types of animals. If the effect seems more anecdotal, they offer an extra bit of magic to this world.
Of course, such updates affecting the game system are commonplace in the era of early access, in which features are trickled into the hands of players. However, changes of this nature come a year after the official release of Bye is a little more surprising. At this stage, we would expect either marginal fixes to make the experience smoother or eradicate some persistent bugs, or the release of an extension (probably paid) expanding the map and offering new quests.
We also suspect that such changes cannot be improvised and that the Awaceb team must have been working on them for a while. Obviously, this raises the question: were these ideas that the studio had during the development of the game but had not had time to implement to meet its schedule, or was it a response to certain criticisms made during game ? Indeed, if it obtained almost unanimous praise for the charm of its universe and its representation of New Caledonian culture, some reservations had been expressed regarding the lack of originality of the scenario and the repetitiveness of the gameplay.
In all cases, the functionalities which have just been implemented should bring a burst of dynamism and variety to the adventures of Byeenough to give it a little momentum at the time of its release on Steam but also the announcement of its upcoming arrival on Switch.
