Aeterna Lucis Demo Patch Adds Interact Remapping and Quality-of-Life Fixes

The first post-launch update for the Aeterna Lucis demo brings requested controls remapping, controller cursor fixes, and gameplay tweaks.

The first patch for the Aeterna Lucis demo is live now. Developer feedback shaped this update, which addresses control pain points, menu behavior, and gameplay exploits.

Controls and Interface

Players can remap the Interact action directly within the Controls menu. The mouse cursor hides automatically during controller play and reappears the moment the mouse moves. A new Menu Brightness setting is available under Graphics options, and abilities menu localizations are fixed.

Gameplay and Combat Adjustments

Fast travel is disabled during combat encounters, and the Queen cannot take damage while traveling. The Queen's movement no longer includes sliding when running. Skipped dialogue lines wait for a manual button press rather than advancing automatically.

Bug Fixes

Light Dash remapped controls apply properly while inside the light. An issue where the Queen fell from a platform after dying to a trap while holding down is resolved.

Why this patch matters

This quick patch resolves quality-of-life complaints from the community, making the demo smoother to play on controllers and keyboards alike.
