New resolution options (and persistence between sessions)
New dialogue options
Expanded vocabulary
Light Mode - dark text on light backgrounds, for those that find reading easier
Improved UX and key information delivery
Various fixes and improvements
To those that have yet to play the game, there's no better time. But that's not to say there's not still work to do! Please continue to reach out with your thoughts and feedback, and your comments will be channelled into the ongoing development of the full game.
Until next time,
Jamin
