Fixed inventory item thumbnails not displaying correctly when changing languages and launching the game.
The Zippo lighter is an important object in Forbidden Art. You'll often need to pull it out often, so we've added a hotkey to allow you to do so without going through your inventory. (thanks Getter) For Meta Quest, press the grab button while holding down the B or Y key to get the lighter directly in your hand. (This does not work on Vive due to the controller's lack of key assignments).
We added the effect because some puzzles had no feedback and players were getting confused.
Fixed maps not loading properly in certain sections (thanks nanabosho)
