We are soon reaching the end of the project: Most of the issues have been fixed, and truth be told, there's not much free room on either the disk on in memory for much improvements!

If you have played the game and liked it, it would be very nice to leave a small review: Steam tends to show games that have at least ten reviews, and here unfortunately with only 4 reviews the game is now in the algorithmic catacombs. *sigh*

Here is the detailed list of changes:
- Added a third manual page to explain the new alternative controls
- Added support for one more column in the item selection menu
- Made sure that the prompt indicator displays properly even when the alarm trigger happens
- Renamed the "None" joystick interface to be "arrows+space"
- Modified the selection menu to handle background animations and "hurry up" events
- Added a small "press enter" indicator when some messages are displayed so the player knows they have to press a key instead of waiting.
- Modified the name input to accept the menu selection and actual typing all at the same time
- Updated the copyright on the title page to include 2025
