Staffer Retro : A Supernatural Mystery Quest

Team Tetrapod has released a minor patch for Staffer Retro: A Supernatural Mystery Quest, published the day after the game's July 23 launch. The announcement title and body carry a slight version discrepancy — the title reads 1.1.1, the body reads 1.1.2 — but the contents describe the same set of fixes.

What changed

  • Fixed typos reported on release day
  • Improved the readability of Emilia's name display
  • Adjusted placement of some UI graphic resources
  • Fixed several text errors
  • Fixed a dialogue-order reversal in the Act 1 opening that affected certain languages
  • Resolved a settings screen flicker occurring during OBS streaming sessions

The team also flagged a known compatibility issue: Windows' Smart App Control feature, introduced in recent Windows updates, may prevent the game from launching immediately after an update. No fix is mentioned — Team Tetrapod asks for understanding while the situation persists.

Looking ahead, the studio notes it is discussing further improvements requested by players, with patches planned once specifics are confirmed. Separately, Team Tetrapod has committed to working with its translation partner to improve the Simplified Chinese localization, citing player feedback that the current version does not fully capture the intended tone. The studio cautions that the process will take time.

For players who encountered broken dialogue order or OBS interference on day one, this patch resolves the most immediately disruptive issues.
