QOL

• Added full controller support for all controllers
• Added FOV slider.
• You can now toggle Pixelation effect off.
• Added color contrast to crosshair and should now be more visible on brighter backgrounds.

• The game no longer shuts down after completing any of the endings.
• Substantially increased time limit for Chapter 1 and 5
• The game no longer automatically highlights the first dialog option by default, you now need to press the navigation keys first.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed conversation log scrolling not working when NPCs were talking
• Fall damage should now trigger slightly earlier
• Fixed Rygg’s locker so it’s interactible again (not a new feature, it was broken all this time, and it may very well still be kind of broken)
• UI should now break a little bit less when playing at lower resolutions than 1080p (please don’t do it though)
• Fixed a billion other minor bugs and typos (thanks to all that reported them!)
