  Patch 1.8 Improved Video Performance and Reduced Stuttering

  Video playback has been extensively reworked and optimized. Videos now run much more smoothly and cause fewer performance issues.

Memory usage has also been improved, allowing videos to perform better across a wider range of hardware configurations.

  Update 1.7 Lighting and Performance Update

  I have reworked the lighting inside the house. It is now a bit brighter, so players can see more clearly, but it is not too bright and the atmosphere is still preserved. I also fixed and optimized some lights, which should slightly improve performance.

  Church Scene & Credits Video Adjusted

  Patch Notes – Description: With this update, an important change has been made to the scene that starts when you go up to the church. At that point, a credits-style video begins. Some players thought this meant the game was already over. However, that is not the case — the game continues after this scene. To make sure players do not accidentally open the menu or stop playing at that moment, the ESC key has been disabled during this sequence. This way, players will stay in the game afterward and can continue playing the story until the actual ending. I also want to clarify that the music used in this scene is copyright-free and approved for use together with the game. YouTubers, streamers, and content creators are allowed to use this music in gameplay videos, streams, or Let’s Plays of the game. Thank you for your feedback, and have fun continuing the game!
