  Update 1.3: Rock Fix, Light Improvements, and Special Discount!

  Hi everyone!Following an intense technical migration to ensure full compatibility with Windows 11, I am happy to bring you Version 1.3. I’ve listened to your feedback, and this update focuses on polishing the gameplay, improving visual comfort, and rewarding your patience.What’s new in this version:Cleaner, Steadier Camera: I have reduced the head bob (camera movement) by half (50%). Exploration now feels much smoother, more cinematic, and more comfortable for the eyes.Anti-Stuck Security System: We have implemented a definitive fix in the rock zone. Although it only affected 1 in 20 players, the game now detects collision errors and automatically repositions you so that nothing stops your progress.Lighting Improvements:Flashlight Battery: Increased duration by 3 additional minutes per full charge. More vision in the deep dark!Ether Light: The duration of the light when filled has also increased by 3 minutes, giving you a better margin for survival.Technical Optimization: Compiled natively to improve photorealistic performance on modern systems.A personal message from ErickUnreal: Launching a horror game as a solo developer is a massive challenge. I am very close to reaching a vital milestone: the first 10 reviews on Steam.To support this solo developer, please consider leaving a review. It doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative; honest feedback is the most powerful tool I have to help Steam reach more people and to keep improving this project.Grab the Discount!
