Gameplay bug: when February is outside the world line and gains stamina past her usual maximum, the excess stamina doesn't decay.
Gameplay bug: The player can grab and then start dialogue while grabbing.
Gameplay bug: Stamina doesn't regenerate when the player is looking around using the dedicated keybind.
Visual bug: HUD doesn't resize correctly when the resolution changes and is bigger than 1920x1080px, resulting in text that is too small.

Visual bug: During the tutorial, when the the keybind for looking around is shown, it incorrectly shows the wrong keybind (only on xbox controllers).
