⚙️ Patch Notes
Added
Hint System. Added instructions for completing quests so you’ll never get stuck.
Combat Tutorial. A short walk‑through that teaches the core combat mechanics before you face the first battle.
Input Guide. Now in the Settings menu, showing you every key/mouse binding.
Cutscene Notification Icon. A subtle overlay that tells you when controls are temporarily disabled.
Early‑Game Tutorial Messages. Introductory tips that explain the basic gameplay loop during the first minutes of playing the game.
Main Menu Displays Game Version. Handy for troubleshooting or support requests.
Show Objects System. Interactive objects glow to indicate they can be used.

Changed
