CHANGES

  • Plot and Gameplay -

  • 3 main characters instead of just 1. That means 3 points of view of the same day! *

  • New puzzles.

  • New characters and an extended plot.

  • The inventory is now always visible. (YOU WIN OK?)

  • This will only affect the full game. The Demo ONLY covers part of the Delivery Guy Plot. (It's a demo, don't be greedy.) - Graphics and Sound -

  • All backgrounds and character designs have been improved or directly re-drawn.

  • MANY new animations and visual effects. (Who laughs now, Pi*ar.)

  • New menu interfaces (They don't suck anymore!)

  • New tracks and sound effects.

  • Performance and Optimization - And this is the big one.

  • No more random FPS drops. The game is now graphically undemanding and could run on a potato.

  • Loading times reduced from 5-7 seconds to… basically non existent!

  • Videos no longer cause problems with low-spec systems.

  • Demo size reduced from 345mb to 70mb. That's a 20% of the original size. THAT MEANS I DID MY PART.

And I guess that's all. Nah, here's a gif.
