After updating to Secrets of Gloomrot the console does not open.
I followed the instruction below:
Enable the Console via the main menu Options > General > Interface > Console Enabled but when I press the ' key on the keyboard located below the escape key, nothing happens, the console does not open.
I'm using it in a private game and it doesn't work

I have tried verifying game files and restarting my PC, but I still get the same issue.

I don’t know what helped: either the console worked after installing the beta version 0.5.43954_hotfix13 and returning to the regular version. Or I'm just a fool and forgot to switch the keyboard layout to English.

Problem solved! I changed the keyboard layout to US and it worked. Thank you very much!

Non-US-Keyboard-Layout WORKAROUND:

Press SHIFT + ´ and then hit W and the console should open up.

Do the same to close the console again.
