Silhouette: Chapter One - New Mission Gameplay
I restarted the game in early 2023 to make it more possible for me to finish the development in a reasonable amount of time. One of the key changes was the removal of most of the secondary characters (from Chapter One) and the addition of a new ally in the form of your new compan

I've updated the game and demo to include some suggestions made by the community, and to fix some minor issues with the game.

Added functionality for the cursor to turn green when you are aiming at an item that you can interact with to help players figure out which items are potential clues, and which are just background.
Fixed the Field of View slider in the Options so that you can now adjust the Field of View to your liking. Note, that you need to have started the game for the change to take effect.
Adjusted the Journal entry headlines so they don't overlap with the associated content, and adjusted the spacing of the content so that it doesn't fall off the edge of the page.
Various tweaks and adjustments to game code that isn't really obvious when you're playing, but none the less had to be adjusted so that the above fixes could work.

New Graphics updates for version 0.2
While I've been overhauling the mechanics of the game, I also thought it might be a good time to play around with updating the quality of the character models. I wanted to make them look a bit more realistic while still maintaining the original design. After playing around for a
