  • Completely reworked the machine translation for German to improve its quality.
    The community is now proofreading it.

  • Fixed the interaction system: now, even if you stand very close to an object, interaction should still be available.
  • Fixed an issue in the Secret Ending where Sanity could still be consumed during cutscenes.
  • Fixed Story Progress elements that couldn’t be obtained on Days 12 and 13, related to the story branches of the Keeper, the Deputy, and Captain Drake.
  • Fixed inconsistencies in dialogues with the Boy on Days 9 and 14, as well as in other text elements.
  • Minor improvements to the rules for handling strange ships between Days 6–15.
