[p]Dear guests,[/p][p]
I have heard whisperings from the staff that one of our guests, esteemed social influencer Eve, has been requesting a few changes to benefit her stay here. Small fixes, big effects.[/p][p]
What’s changed:[/p]

• [p]Added a new autoplay feature to dialogue windows.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue in the Eve boss fight where certain actions would not trigger.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue in the Eve boss fight where Eve’s armour gauge was not displayed correctly when transitioning to her second form.[/p]

[p]Dear guests,[/p][p]
The hotel has been listening.[/p][p]
Over the past few weeks, some of you stepped beyond the velvet rope, into unfinished corridors, flickering lights, and changes still finding their final form. You explored, experimented, and shared your thoughts with us, helping shape what comes next. For that, we are truly grateful.[/p][p]
With the feedback period now complete, it’s time to quietly close the doors to the Preview branch.[/p][p][/p][h2]What happens next[/h2]

• [p]The Preview branch will be closed later this week.[/p]
• [p]The changes tested there are being refined for release on the main public branch.[/p]
• [p]No further updates will be made to the Preview branch itself.[/p]

[p]This announcement applies only to players currently opted into the Preview branch.[/p][p]If you’re on the standard public version, nothing is changing for you at this time.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]About Save data[/h2][p]As explained in our original Preview Branch announcement, save data modified in the Preview branch will not function as intended back in the main branch.[/p][p]Please note that once we close the Preview branch, you will automatically return to the main branch.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Thank you once again for taking part, for sharing your feedback, and for helping improve the experience for all future guests.[/p][p]
