addedArcade Mode added: New player hiding mechanics. Arcade Mode added: New mechanic for finding hidden objects with the candle. Textures and lighting optimized and improved. Shadows and volumetrics are now softer and have better resolution (for higher specs). Nanite meshes removed for most assets, I’m sticking with the typical LOD setup. DLSS and FSR added (still needs work for better functionality). Camera position adjusted to avoid common clipping issues. New and replaced assets with better optimization. Loading times reduced for certain areas of the story map.
