  • Settings PersistenceFixed variables (scanlines and other options) to ensure they remain persistent after quitting the game.

  • Resolution: Game now starts in Full Screen on 1080p (or multiples); non-1080p scalable monitors default to Windowed Mode.

  • Control Scheme: The control scheme prompt only displays once. - It can be switched at any time via options menu.

  • UI CleanupFixed the "Bob you're still alive" UI exit issue and corrected several name tags, including the "deer basement" tag.

Interaction & Items

  • PromptsFixed the bullet pickup prompt in the dollhouse.
  • EquipmentFixed an issue where the shotgun would disable when moving from Hallway 2 to Hallway 1.

Known Issues (future update):

  • Video Compatibility: Videos require re-encoding to a different codec; they currently do not render on Steam Deck.

  • Equipment: Shotgun does not disable when the player goes to sleep.

  • Death Screen: The load menu should appear upon death instead of the Play/Quit options.

Thanks for all your support, everyone!
