Updated dash so that you can do it a bit more frequently
Moved some Tool Tips to fit better on Steam Deck
Changes how the Regular's story is diplayed in the book - arrows to cycle to the different lines so that the text could be bigger

Bugs and fixes

Fixed the freezer allowing you to put in multiple food mush mixes in to make meals
Small indicator now when there is something in the Freezer
Cloud saving update

We are so very sorry to our players in China. We set up the game to detect the language on the players computer, and this apparently broke everything for our folks in China. We are incredible sorry about this issue and we hope you give us another chance.

If any of these don't seem fixed to you, or you are experiencing other issues, please keep letting us know!

As always, we appreciate you! Axie & Leaf
