Three weeks after the outcry, Mutt & Chutney Games released Update 1.4.2, colloquially known as “The Adventurous Couple Version Tacos Part 9b Patched.” The patch notes were a masterclass in transparency:
“We heard you. We saw the ghost tortillas. We felt the salsa loop in our nightmares. Version 9b was not the experience you deserved. This patch rebuilds the taco logic from the ground up. No more invisible carbs. No more fake fights. Part 9 is now what we always intended: a messy, joyful, cooperative mess—intentionally, not by bug.”
Key changes in the patched version:
The patch even added a hidden Easter egg: if you execute a perfect taco sequence without speaking a word (nonverbal cooperation only), the abuela reveals a fourth taco—the “9b Special”—a burnt tortilla wrapped around a single gummy bear.

Players loved the chaos. Speedrunners exploited it. Then, the developers did the unthinkable: they patched it.

Developers Marrow & Ash have remained cryptically silent. Their last tweet, posted three days after the patch, was a single image: a frozen margarita with a sticky note reading “9c is not tacos.”
Theories abound. Some say Part 9c will be about burritos. Others believe the “Version Tacos” state was never truly removed—just hidden behind a new, more obscure exploit involving the game’s audio log files. A dataminer recently found a string of code labeled TACOS_PHANTOM_FLAG that reads: “If you see this, the loop is not broken. It is just sleeping.” “We heard you
