We're still cooking on a few more larger-scale crash-fixes (such as the persistent issues with inventory-rearrangement and French Cuisine), but for the moment, here's a smaller, but no-less significant update. This update fixes the evolutions for the "Arts" type of move, stopping

Another day, another update! We're beginning to catch up. This one is intended to address the major softlocks found in the Field of Forget-Me-Nots "Down the Drain" map, and the maze-like map in the Complex Apartments. If these two maps should still easily softlock your game, plea
