[h3]New Features:[/h3]

• Full Controller Support: Maneuver through the mansion with your trusty gamepad, complete with fancy XBOX glyphs!
  
• Zoom-tastic: Get the perfect view while traversing the mansion, hold down the new zoom button (middle mouse button, or RS/RT on gamepad) to get a closer look.
  

[h3]Bug Fixes:[/h3]

• Sensitivity Fix: Fixed a bug where setting the ‘Mouse Look Sensitivity’ above 1 would reset all the settings under the ‘Game’ setting tab when opening the pause menu again.
  
• Winter Garden Table Fix: Fixed a bug where it was possible to get stuck in the dining table in the Winter Garden if standing in a specific location on top of the table when the secret hatch opened.
  
• Library Check-Out Fix: Fixed issue when leaving the library carrying an item. The character would not “drop” the item properly before deleting it causing visual discrepancies.
  
• Magnet Mishap Solved: The mischievous wine crate lid can no longer trap your magnet (or other small items). The crate lid can now be picked up.
  
• Stop the Spins: Fixed a visual bug where interacting with lock tumblers in quick succession could make the lock unlock but the tumbler would keep spinning to the next number/letter/position.
  

[h3]Miscellaneous:[/h3]

• Seed Bag Blues Begone: Tired of juggling seeds back to their specific bags? Toss them in any bag, or even swap them for dirt! Added more ways of getting rid of a seed after picking it up with the small shovel in the Winter Garden.
  
• Changed the Toggle Crouch setting’s default to True.
