⚙️ Optimization
The project has become significantly lighter on system load.
Lighting, shadow calculations, draw distance, texture streaming, and other systems have been reworked.
Performance has increased by 1.5–2× compared to the previous version.
📖 Tutorial

Completion timer.
For speedrunners:
Start and finish points are now fixed — the same for everyone.
You can now compare results fairly.

but those who go all the way may unlock something unexpected.
Though it might raise even more questions.
