Demo v2.0.3
[p]As the release of the full game gets closer and closer, it's time to start wrapping up the core features and fixing some long-standing bugs. We're almost there![/p][p]This release adds the long-awaited and much-requested hint system for the Spirit Report, but be warned - it'll cost ya. There's also improvements to graphics and sound, and on-screen keyboard support on Steam Deck.[/p][p]
[/p]
