The Roottrees are Dead News

Update Notes for Mar 31, 2025

Fixes a bug with "Search all Periodicals" where if you changed your keyword the links would stop working.
A non-English search term was only working with a tilde. If you typed it instead of copying and pasting and omitted that accent it didn't work. Now it does!
Added a note to the credits to clarify that no generative AI artwork is used in the Steam version of the game.
Fixed an issue where having a controller plugged in with a particular config option could crash the game
Fixes minimal typos
