Horror adventure ASYLUM updated for Steam Deck and on the way to being Verified

Senscape continue to tweak their supernatural horror adventure ASYLUM, with a recent update making a few changes to be on the way to getting it Steam Deck Verified. Also, the developer is still working on the Native Linux version.

Back in April the developer noted in a Steam announcement that they fixed a "softlock in the morgue" for players using Proton but it's a "temporary patch while we keep working on the native Linux/Steam Deck version". While work on that continues, they also just released another patch over the weekend to improve it overall on the Steam Deck.

Latest patch notes:

• New: Now fully Playable on Steam Deck! Only a few tweaks left related to font sizes to get the coveted Verified status next.
• New: Full controller support validated! Moving the cursor during close-ups with a gamepad should feel much smoother now.
• Fix: Greatly improved detection of a connected gamepad to properly show tutorials and input tips.
• Fix: Menu settings wouldn't properly detect fullscreen status. Now they do.
• Fix: A non-essential transitional cutscene late in the game was missing following a previous fix. It has been reinstated in all its cutscene-y glory.
• Fix: Also, 2 frames were fixed in the aforementioned cutscene. No idea what this means, I'm going to trust the changelist on this one.
• Fix: That puzzle in the topmost floor still had a few issues involving the timing of certain sound effects. No more.
• Fix: Annoyingly, the head bobbing effect persisted while the menu was opened, making it difficult select stuff. Luckily for you, we are now sparing this annoyance.
• Fix: Increased tab size in notepad, which is specially useful for the Steam Deck. No, it wasn't you and you don't need glasses, the text was indeed too small.
• Fix: Fonts scale better now in lower resolutions, including the menu. Again, another win for Steam Deck!
