More here, but tldr the beta stops being 'closed' in a couple of weeks, by which point there will also be fewer* enraging softlocks

*it's a crpg, people, it is mathematically impossible for there to be no enraging softlocks
2026.7.f.36 - "LAST TRAIN OUT OF MILAN"
- IMPORTANT - NEXT WEEK'S BUILD ("NIGHT TRAIN TO ANTIBES") WILL INVALIDATE ALL SAVES CREATED EARLIER THAN "LAST TRAIN OUT OF MILAN"
- (honestly, if you've got an old save you should delete it anyway, it'll be full of nonsense)
- you could re-craft something by hitting CRAFT again once you'd COLLECTED. But you can't any more.
- fixed abandoned hold-to-activate button presses firing out of sheer excitement next time
- equipped items now say they're equipped so you don't think you've got a duplicate
- companion assistance tooltip shows negative modifiers as -N, not +-N. I mean there aren't any negative companion modifiers rn, but who knows what Corso will get up to?
- Inventory skill modifier totals correctly show skill + modifier, rather than implying a change to the base skill
- Nice little gradient on skill modifier totals to deal with the fact that all our skill names are mad long
- skill-bar number box autosizes to fit double digits and modifers; also modifiers size the font down a bit. Not interesting? look, try writing this stuff.
- can't start boarding the train, exit out of map, then find you've left the train. YOU GOTS TO STAY ON THE MAP UNTIL YOU GO
- redesigned one-shot text - the little one-off labels that you get when you click things and don't start a full convo
- many many ordering fixes to what Lottie and I call the 'Wall of Miserable Hell With That Fecking Flowers Painting On It, Fecking'
- Spencer no longer climbs trees with helium abandon
- Leon is now visibly DangerLeon, so new players don't innocently run up to him like kittens running up to a grumpy wolf
- Janvier's mirror interaction no longer enables infinite Compassion
- all nostalgia memories now depart, with use, like trains or sunsets
- La plaque de la Rue de Racine a désormais des mots
