JUICE! and a juicer. Literally, just juice that you can drink... but it has those good good effects.
Running... after a small amount of time when running a meter appears that slowly fills, if you stop running before the meter is filled it goes back down and you can start running whenever again. However, if it actually fills all the way up you can no longer run at all and are drastically slowed down until it is back to empty.

Animals now use the new AI system.
The Steam store and library art has been updated. Known Issues:
When reloading a save file the maps that you have already discovered are re-revealed when you open the map for the first time that session.
