Fixed a bug which would create instances of entities in previous maps into the next map when you transited, these entities were spawn/teleport points.

The Chapter Title show off only displays the first character in the title string.
Some of the subtitles doesn't show up for every voice over.
The future
It is over a year ago since TFO got on Steam, it received harsh critics mainly because it had PewDiePie references and it was rather hard.
I intended to add more stuff in this update, time is not on my side unfortunately.
The next version of TFO will most likely include the sequel, stay tuned for more.
