We received a ton of great feedback last time, and we’ve tackled the most critical issues you flagged (don’t worry—we’re working on the rest too! 🙂). We’ve also completely overhauled the Lumographs (the echoes from the past) with a new visual style and method for triggering them, and recorded new character voiceovers with a new script. This is a big shift in direction, and we’re excited to hear what you think!
