[ Credits / Endgame ]

Added an "endgame" to New Day that'll trigger the credits for the game.

I will not tell you how to access this, as you'll have to do that on your own. However, I'll give you a hint:

Fredling Baby, Zephyr, and a random percentage that gradually rises after a certain action is taken.

[ Confessions Changes ]

The school confession area has been completely overhauled with HD models that look 100x better than the previous ones.

[ Knits' and MemoMart UI REVAMP ]

Both of the menus in Knits' Clothing and MemoMart have been recreated to fit New Day's style better. This also introduces a few changes to how the clothing shop works.

If you've previously bought an accessory in the accessory corner, you can now buy it in Knits' main stock.
