Handy task log

Hi, I'd like to share an update on the development of Red October.

One of the features I've been working on is a handy in-game quest log. In it, the main character writes down his thoughts, current tasks, important details, and anything else that might be useful in the investigation. (see screenshot). It's not just a to-do list, but a real diary that helps you dive deeper into the story and the world of the game.

Also, taking into account the feedback and wishes of players on my previous projects, I have implemented a full-fledged save system. Now you will be able to save your progress at any time and not waste time on replaying already passed stages. I hope it will make the gameplay even more comfortable.
