Update 1.1.0: New Content and Features

The first major content update for Robot Hospice arrives, bringing new stories and deeper interactions with the robots under your care. This patch expands the core narrative experience.

1. New Robot: The Archivist

   A new robot has arrived at the hospice. The Archivist is a quiet, bookish unit that once served as a librarian. Interact with it to unlock a new, multi-part story about the books it used to read to children.

2. Expanded Garden Area

   The Garden has been expanded with a new section: the "Memory Grove." Here, you can plant virtual seeds that grow into flowers representing the memories of robots you have already said goodbye to.

3. New Achievements

   Five new Steam achievements have been added, focusing on exploration and deep interaction with the new content. Check the achievements guide for details on how to unlock them.

This update also includes a balance pass on the game's emotional pacing, ensuring that each farewell feels appropriately weighted. The developers have also hinted at future updates focusing on replayability.

How to Check Your Game Version

Knowing which version of Robot Hospice you are running is essential for troubleshooting and understanding which patch notes apply to you.

1. Launch Robot Hospice from your Steam library.
2. On the main menu screen, look at the bottom-left corner.
