MINOR UPDATE FEATURES
GAME HINT MODE
This option offers newer players frost waypoints to guide the player in the proper direction.
Not recommended for survival fans. [This needs to be turned on]
NEW BASIC DOORS
[NON PHYSICAL INTERACTION] + DOOR ICONS. SHELVES AND DRAWERS ADDED [NO ICONS]
The new doors are much simpler to use. This was based on your feedback. thank you
CAMPFIRES REVAMPED
Fires now gradually warm you up when on and when turned off lose all heat.
Fires now consistently ignite and extinguish the flame FX.
The original campfires required you to examine what was missing from the fires in order to start it. Most users avoided the tutorial and found this to be a bug. So we simplified the Fires to simply use any source of flammable fuel.
CONSUMABLE INTERACTIVE FEATURE [ANIMATE CONSUMABLES]
1-Click Consumable Drinks, Bandage, and Canned Food.
Removed the need to hold down the left mouse button until the food consume animation is complete in order to consume items.

Health, Stamina, Temperature, Food, and Hunger Meters reductions have been tweaked for a more enjoyable experience. Temperature reduction is not affected by walking and sprinting anymore.
INFORMATION NOTICES REVAMPED
The information Indicators now have shadows and outlines to contrast against the background for better reading visibility. It is much easier to read tasks and important information.
FROST HUD NOW ADJUSTS TO TEMPERATURE DEGREES
NEW SLEEPING BAG
This replaces the Tent found in the original demo, and it puts you to sleep to end the demo.
[The Sleeping system will come in Resort Update along with the TOD]
