Bugs, Just Cards! and…a bit about Chapter 2💬

I've updated the game a little.

Thank you all for playing it and leaving so many nice comments, reporting bugs, and everything else.

Please, if you have any issues or suggestions — write to me! I really do read everything and then work through it.

1.Bug fixes and improvements:

• FixedThe 5 rubles problemI saw a lot of confusion about how 5 rubles appeared in the Inventory. The answer: thanks to a bug! This is now fixed — it's a small quest tied to one of the notes.
• FixedThe card problemI discovered to my horror that during the Blackjack+Tarot stage, it could skip you way ahead in rounds. This is also fixed: you have to win 5 times without lives, and 5 times with them!

• Fixed (I think) the issue with temporarily disappearing objects in the Apartments

• F12 and screenshots! Everything works now — a very annoying engine quirk that it doesn't work out of the box

• Windowed mode can now be enabled in Settings

• Updated some sprites and effects, added shadows under cards and stuff like that

2.Just Cards!

A standalone card mode is now active on the main screen.

The run is simple:

• No lives

• You need to win 33 times

• There's a regular Tarot draft every 5th turn and on turn 32

• It's just cards with no strings attached — people asked for this a lot

• A general overview of active Tarot cards has been added to the Notes right away

• Conceptually it's no different from the card game in Chapter 1

• But I have ideas on how to greatly improve the standalone Just Cards! experience

3.A bit…about Chapter 2

Right now it's in a peculiar state: some things are being designed, while others already have finished scenes. What awaits you?

• A scene inspired by the wonderful Reigns game series. Try to hold your ground in the world of old St. Petersburg

• A scene at the doctor's, which will have (I hope) a very interesting mechanic

• And of course…expanding the boundaries of the card game!

Thanks for playing,
