Previously, it was possible to jump from the second floor to the first through the staircase by moving towards the door. • Resolved collision issues in a location with overturned furniture, where sitting in the bathroom could get you stuck under the tub. • Corrected collisions in 15 locations of multi-story buildings. • Made changes to the landscape and lighting in the courtyard location. • Fixed a bug with a bench in the first location, which allowed players to fly beyond the map using the bench and swing. Physics on the bench is now disabled. • Increased overall game optimization, resulting in a 40% performance boost. • Fixed a game closure bug on the first level, where a random crash occurred when looking at a faceless character behind the main hero due to trigger location violations. • Optimized models and transitioned to using nanite technology. • Addressed widget shaking related to non-standard display resolutions. • Fixed a bug related to material index offset on maps, causing the location to look unnatural. • Fixed a bug allowing movement in pause mode. • Fixed a bug in the Department location causing loud office sounds. • Addressed localization errors in multiple languages (work on localization is ongoing, bug reports are accepted). • Optimized models and transitioned to nanite technology. • Optimized textures, reducing the load of distant textures on the player's field of view. • Improved overall game optimization, increasing performance by 30%. Additionally, numerous minor bugs not affecting gameplay were fixed. • Added several points of interest in unexpected locations. • Introduced 6 easter eggs. • Added saving at the beginning of a location with stairs. Lack of saving previously led to loading the previous location upon death, disrupting puzzle sequence progression. • Added in-game hints for puzzle-solving, simplifying challenging moments for the majority of players. • Added additional music.
