About the Game
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone past that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
We are Expedition 33.

Expeditioners!
Thank you for all of your reports - the details for the fixes in this patch are written out below:
Update On Sirene Crash
After a thorough internal investigation, the crash that occurred after defeating Sirene can no longer be reproduced on our end. If you keep getting this issue, we’d suggest updating your Windows to the latest version. If the issue persists, please submit a report and we’ll continue investigating.
Bug Fixes & Improvements
Photo Mode
Fixed facial hair of characters being blurred in the Photo Mode on the close distance if Shading was set to Epic.
Fixed an issue in Photo mode that prevented the Inner Cone Angle and Outer Cone Angle options from affecting the shape of the preview light source.
Photo Mode's spotlight and point light display has been modified to improve their visibility
Gameplay
Fixed an issue where loading a save while picking up a journal could cause that journal to disappear permanently and become impossible to collect again.
Missing journals are now also restored retroactively when loading affected saves.
Fixed a soft lock that could occur, during the Chromatic Glissando encounter in Sirene’s Dress level, when a dead expeditioner equipped with Shortcut and Second Chance pictos was swallowed.
Fixed an issue on Gestral Beach where using the Rematch option after losing the volleyball minigame could create a blocked save.
Fixed a visual issue where characters affected by Inverted would not have the correct colour effect applied to their eyes.
Environment
Fixed various environment issues (collisions, misplaced assets, missing or incorrect footsteps SFX) across Verso's Drafts, the World Map, and other levels.
Fixed various lighting issues on Steam Deck in Verso’s Drafts, Endless Tower and Stone Wave Cliffs levels.
As always, thanks for your support and for your reports via the official Typeform - We'll continue monitoring the reports coming in and working on future fixes!

Bug Fixes & Improvements
Expeditioners, the 1.5.1 hotfix is now live!
Thanks to your reports, we have worked on a number of fixes listed below:
Gameplay
Fixed Monoco’s weapon “Cannaro” being unobtainable from Chromatic Machinapieds
Players who already defeated the boss will automatically receive the weapon in their inventory, unless they started a NG+(+) after that
Fixed Esquim not applying Mark to all enemies when a skill had 0 hits.
Fixed a targeting issue caused by using a Recoat item followed by ‘Retry Battle’, which resulted in the player being unable to target the middle enemy or character.
Fixed a soft-lock when attempting to load a save without hovering any slot while backup saves were displayed.
Fixed upgrade of the weapons to level 34 when spamming Upgrade weapon and change character buttons
Level 34 weapons have been reverted back to level 33
Fixed character being able to use other characters' weapon when quickly switching weapon tabs after changing weapon
Environment
Nerfed the hardest boss in Verso’s Drafts (red lifebuoy) by moving it slightly to make a quest easier.
Fixed various environment issues (collisions, misplaced assets, missing or incorrect footsteps SFX) across Verso's Drafts, the World Map, and other levels.
Audio & Music
Improved environmental ambiances and spatial audio for better immersion in Verso’s Drafts
Enhanced audio mixes for select characters, combos, and finishers
Multiple audio & music issues were resolved, including:
Missing music after defeating new Endless Tower bosses.
Missing subtitle line for Sciel in one of the new cinematics.
Missing Barbapapa status effect SFX when receiving a second stack.
Missing some SFX for Licorne enemy in Verso’s Drafts.
Missing SFX for Paint Cage explosions in Verso's Drafts.
Music and SFX not pausing when opening pause menu during cinematic sequence with slow motion enabled, resulting in audio desynchronization for the remainder of the cinematic sequence
Localization
Fixed various localization issues, including:
Subtitles in Root Of All Evil cinematics disappearing too fast.
Overlapping text in Pictos & Luminas lists.
Autoplay dialogue options swapped when the title is set to LATAM Spanish.
Incorrect text displayed during Flying Manor side quest when the title is set to Vietnamese.
Verso’s skill Phantom Stars displaying HTML in combat when the title is set to Vietnamese.
Other
We are aware of various issues encountered, particularly the one reported by some of you who are having difficulty launching the title on Windows 11.
One of these issues is caused by Windows Security reporting false positives when launching. This has been fixed as part of the v1.5.1 hotfix as of 17:00 CET.
The other issue causing this problem is related to the Windows Smart App Control feature. Turning it off to fix it is not recommended as this will remove the feature permanently from your system. We are investigating this issue and hope to resolve it as soon as possible so we suggest waiting for the next hotfix!
Until then,
Tomorrow comes!
And as always thanks for your support and for your reports via the official Typeform!
