Quartet version 1.4 update is now available for PC with additions of New Game Plus and Nightmare Mode
Something Classic Games has today released a new update for the PC release of Quartet that brings its version up to 1.4. Following a teaser for this update earlier this month, the studio has fulfilled their promise of releasing the update within the month for the PC release.
Some of the highlights in this update are the New Game Plus mode that also includes a harder Nightmare difficulty level. The same update also includes a Dev Commentary mode that lets players read development insights from the team throughout the game when toggled on.
