Visual and Environmental Improvements

A major visual pass has been done across the game, including:

Relighting Improvements
Redesigned “Game Over” Screen
Added Foliage
Updated Color Grading
Environmental Tweaks and spacial changes
Reduced unnecessary empty space to lower player confusion

The game should now feel darker, compact, immersive, and more atmospheric overall. 4. Major Bug Fixes

These are the improvements suggested by you guys who were having problems with gameplay progression as there were some gamebreaking elements so we did something about it:

Fixed the Master Key issue, and added description to each key and its function in the Tab Menu
Various smaller fixes and improvements
Documents can now be read in plain text for improved readability
Fixed the softlocking issue in the game, we hope this issue has been fixed for good ;-;
We added a few more bugs to fix later ;)

Parting Words

From the beginning, the game was intended to be a short and free experience for players rather than a long-term live-service project with DLCs or large expansions. With most major game-breaking issues now resolved, our team will gradually begin moving toward future projects that aim to deliver even more polished and ambitious experiences.

That said, this does not mean support for the game is ending entirely. We will continue to monitor feedback and fix any major game-breaking issues players may encounter.

Thank you to everyone who played the game, shared feedback, reported bugs, and supported the project so far <3
