addedNew featuresAs you enjoy your time underworld you will encounter a BRAND NEW NPC! It flies chaotically, dislikes the light and stalks you from the ceiling. Will you guess what it is?

addedNew featuresThe journal text is now written in magical ink, that glows in the dark and stays dark if you light it up and yes, you can now use your magical light while reading. so you can sort of switch between light and dark theme.

changedNew featuresAuto Alignment was only used when you first picked an object, if you wanted to place vase you usually needed to rotate it, so it didn’t fell off. Now you can do so with simple press of a button!

changedNew featuresCharacter names and colors, also you can set it to auto skip after voice line passed.
