Thank you for downloading and using the Keepsake Community Project, join our Discord for the indepth walkthrough with explination on how the puzzles work in detail, or just chatting with others who played the game.

Installation is now cut into 3 individual steps to save space, the first and the third one being optional.

STEP 1 - Higher Details + Crash fix (Steam Version only)
----------------------------------------------
The Steam version introduces some changes which allows visual improvement of the 3D Models, for installation copy the "res" folder from "Step 1" into the games root folder and overwrite all files.

This version also relly likes to crash in certain scenes, first reported in 2018 by odirjmm "3 Instances where the game crashes". Crash 3 was already fixed a long time ago with this patch, 1 and 2 on the other hand interconnected, pointing in a wrong direction and was in need of a real reverse engineer. Just put the ddraw.dll in the games root folder, source code is available here: https://github.com/nathan-baggs/kyanite

To access the root folder go to your Steam library rightclick the game, Manage, Browse local files

STEP 2 - Main Patch
--------------------
To install the main patch, go to the "Step 2" folder and then select your language, because most changes are language specific. Then copy the "res" folder to the games root folder like described in STEP 1.

STEP 3 - Fast Travel (Steam Version only)
------------------------------------------
Same as "Step 2" but not recommended for the first play through, due to A LOT of missable conversations between Lydia and Zak

STEP 4 - Special Additions
----------------------------
To patch the next files, you'll need some more skills, because files inside zip-files need to be updated. Go to "step 3" and select your language, if your language is missing there are no additional updates available for you.

Currently these additions only include an update for the tapestry needed for the telescope puzzle, fixing the translation which missed key information to be able to solve the puzzle without a walkthrough.

In the German folder, you'll also find a version for AI upscaled mod which may be released in the near future.

First copy the "interface" folder from the archive into the games "res" folder and overwrite the file.

Second follow the path from "scenes" all along until reaching the image files. Copy the files from the patch into the zip-files folder with the same name and overwrite all files.

STEP 4 - ENJOY!
-----------------
