Notes

- All previous save files and persistent data are incompatible with this version. They will be automatically removed at startup if players have previously played the game. This will prevent game crashes and future problems with compatibility. A popup note will appear on screen when this happens.

Known Bugs

- Some side images and sprites were added to some scenes to fill the blanks and will be replaced in the future as we get more sprites made.
- Sometimes loading a save will cause an audio pop.

Changelog a.10

- Added more to the story. Partially wrapped up prologue work, now dedicating more time to continuing the storyline.

Update a.08
-----------

- Added new backgrounds to the waterfall bad ending scene, the standard elevator scenes and a vandalized version of the master suite.
- Added a close-up of the duffel bag during the gym scene.
- Added new music: ambiences for the beginning forest scene, as well as the cliff and waterfall cave scenes. Volume control using the music volume slider bar in the Options screen.
- Added ambience sfx: general raven noises in the background. Volume control using the sound volume slider bar in the Options screen.
- Added trusted tester names to the credits screen, changed the text layout to accomodate.
- Finalized Brymror's design, thus swapped his sketch sprite with the colored version. Will work on making actual sprites of him in the following updates.

- Automated sfx playback -> ambience sfx (e.g. raven noises) can now play at random intervals and in a random order (when more than one sound is provided)
- Known issues with automated sfx playback: going back through the story using the 'Back' button can sometimes cause sfx to keep playing despite them not supposed to. To fix, simply continue the story normally until they stop again.
- Replaced quotes everywhere with double apostrophes, because these actually look like proper quotes with the font we're using.
- Minor tweaks and adjustments to the story and dialogue.
