removedThe original classroom setup was inspired by '90s JRPGs, but Critical Chaos has more systems than those games and the front-loading was hurting the opening experience. The tutorials are still there for players who want them. They're just no longer standing between you and the game.
fixedAlso fixed a bug in the Mindscape that some players may have encountered. Should be running clean now.

If you've already played the demo, it's worth another run. If you haven't, now's a good time.
