Update 1.4.4

This update introduces the new driving feature! Enter your escape van at any point and use it to further develop your strategic choices, with more freedom of approach (and escape!) than ever before. Loot can now be secured in the van, to better balance the Combat vs Stealth difficulty and enhance player agency. I am also introducing an awesome new music track which you can take a sneak-peak at HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBCCEcZOvug

I hope you enjoy the new update!
