**Improvements**

  • Overhauled the entire UI for a more consistent and cohesive art style.

  • Improved visual consistency between patient portraits and their medical documents.

  • Clarified daily rule explanations so it's easier to understand how to evaluate patient health reports.

  • In-game audio settings, background ambience, and game over warnings are coming with the full release.

Thanks to everyone who left reviews and feedback on the demo — this patch addresses many of your suggestions. We will continue to make updates based on your feedback. We're working on more patient dialogue, documentation, and stricter rules to be checked before the full release.
