Malcom,
We hope you enjoyed your little vacation, but now it's time to get back to work. Look, we know things have been a little "odd" in the factory. We've been getting reports that the giant mannequin moves??? Darn pranksters. Anyways, we just ignored that and fixed some things that were not as outlandish as that. You can find them below
Fixed a bug where the player would teleport outside the map
Fixed a bug where the light switch by the yellow machine would be invisible
Fixed a bug where the box would be invisible
Fixed a bug where the mannequin wouldn't move when you moved??? (Huh?)
Fixed a bug where the player would run faster if you held more than one directional key
Fixed a bug where the pallet couldn't be picked up
Removed metal posts to create questionable structural integrity, but also to clear pathways
We're not monsters so we also decided to install glow in the dark liquid to our light switches as well.
Known issues: some scenes have a blue background, items won't go to incremental slots when picking loadout
If you find any more weird things, please report them in the discord below.
A new beta is available for testers. The final update will change the game where you will have to look towards things you want to interact with (like most games do) rather than just being in proximity. It will be a process but light switches in quickplay now have this change. To

Added a new task where you have to find and feed a stray cat that has somehow wandered into the factory.
Added a new sound effect for when players successfully complete a task: a round of applause from the mannequin.
Added a new mini-game where you have to play "Simon Says" with the mannequin. It's harder than it sounds.
The flashlight now has a disco mode, which makes it flash different colors and play funky music.
The mannequin will occasionally wear a party hat and blow a kazoo, just to celebrate your progress.
Added a new "Jumpscare" difficulty mode for players who want an extra challenge.
Introducing a new enemy - a giant sentient broom that will chase you down and clean you out of the factory.
Added a new power-up that gives you temporary invincibility to the mannequin's stare.
Added a new collectible - a rubber chicken - for players to find throughout the factory.
Added a new task: "Fix the Unfixable" where players must repair broken objects with random items found in the factory. Good luck!
Added a new game mode: "Mannequin's Revenge" where players play as the mannequin and must catch Malcom before he completes his tasks.
Added a new item: "Pizza Cutter" which can be used as a weapon against the mannequin. Please note that the mannequin is not affected by pizza.
Added a new easter egg: "The Abandoned Easter Basket" where players can find hidden Easter eggs scattered throughout the factory.
Changes
The mannequin will now occasionally break into song and dance routines, because why not?
The mannequin's eyes will now follow your mouse cursor around the screen, just to keep you on your toes.
The mannequin will occasionally wear a party hat and blow a kazoo, just to celebrate your progress.
Replaced the mannequin's haunting gaze with a cute puppy-dog look to make it less scary.
Reduced the number of tasks each night to two, because even maintenance workers need a break.
Added a 10% chance for any task to be a dance-off with the mannequin, because who doesn't love a good dance-off?
Replaced the creepy music with 80s synth-pop to lighten the mood.
The game will now take place in space because I accidentally deleted the factory asset and can't get it back
Fixes
Fixed a bug where players were unable to order a pepperoni pizza, even though they clearly specified it in the task.
Fixed a bug where the pallets in the factory were actually just giant marshmallows in disguise. Sorry for the confusion!
Fixed a bug where players were able to glitch through walls and discover a secret disco room. That's for the sequel!
Fixed an issue where the mannequin would sometimes break the fourth wall and offer players life advice.
Fixed an issue where Malcom would sometimes turn into a giant pizza after being caught by the mannequin.
Fixed an issue where players would sometimes get stuck in a never-ending loop of ordering pizza.
Fixed an issue where the factory's backstory would randomly change every time the game was played.
Fixed an issue where the mannequin would occasionally start singing showtunes instead of chasing Malcom.
Fixed an issue where the game would crash if players tried to use the "Pizza Cutter" on the mannequin (turns out the mannequin is immune to pizza-related weapons).
