changedAlso, there was a journal unlock that was not possible to get if you were playing singleplayer : the isolation event one. Now you can unlock it if the event occurs while you are looking at the dead explorer found on Level 1 (the one next to the Windows exit hint).
addedAlso added some props to Level 188 : room number lettering and a new mysterious picture.
changedAlso some performance improvements, the game now supports DirectX12 , but if you have issues or your card doesn't support it, it should fall back automatically to DirectX11 . Let me know if this causes any issues!
addedHopefully this is the last patch for a while. I already started working on Level 3 and it's coming along nicely, I was able to implement a new procedural generation algorithm that allows me to do a lot of interesting stuff while keeping gameplay constraints in check!
