Hello everyone,
I have just released a small update for the Unknown Presence demo, below are the changes.

Fixed an issue where certain texts would get stuck on your screen when triggered.
Fixed an issue where the ending of the demo wouldn't properly trigger.
Fixed an issue that was causing some notes in the game to have the incorrect UI.
Fixed an issue that was causing objects that spawn at night to spawn during the day.
Fixed and issue where some of the cinematic cameras would loop their animations.
Fixed multiple sounds in the game that were glitching/being called when they weren't supposed to be.
Altered the crouch script so that when you un-crouch you don't pop up so high.
I would also like to mention that I am still working on optimising the house scene at the start of the game, as of right now it appears to be the shadows that is causing the low fps, so if you wish you can turn the shadows down in the mean time to help fix that.
Please submit any and all bugs you encounter to me so that I know what I need to fix!
Thank you,
