We’ve been listening closely to your feedback and watching how you play. This update focuses on improving progression flow, refining the hint system, and smoothing out some rough edges (especially in the Lighthouse scene).

💻 Steam Deck & Mac: We know many of you want a more complete Steam Deck experience and a macOS version. Both are actively in development, and we’ll share updates as soon as we have solid news.
