The Roottrees are Dead News

Updates for February 4, 2025

- Camera transitions can now be fully disabled, enabled, or only from/to the room. The default is still from/to the room.
- There is a new control option for zoom sensitivity. This affects the scroll wheel on a mouse or magnify gesture on a trackpad.
- The dates of some periodicals have been adjusted in Roottreemania to be more consistent with timeframes given.
- There's now a description of what a yearbook is in the notebook, since they are not universal!
- Fixes a bug where if you double clicked a note to edit it, then cancelled, it would keep selecting.
- Added a "Save Note" button for when you edit a note to make it more clear how to save it.
- Fixes a bug where a particular Roottree's snipped photo wouldn't appear if you came back to their piece of evidence
- Alt+Q no longer quits the game because that shortcut is used in German/Swiss keyboards for the @ symbol
- Fixes a bug where ã wouldn't show up in your search history
