🛠️ UPDATE LOG: v1.0.0.13 🛠️

🏠 A HOME NO LONGER QUIET Chapter 1 now features deep narrative loading screens. Read the protagonist's personal thoughts as he discovers strange toys and notes left by someone calling him "Daddy." The story starts before you even step foot inside. 🧸🤫

🔦 REVOLUTIONARY LIGHTING (LUMEN HIT LIGHTING) We fixed the "disappearing light" bug! By implementing Hit Lighting, the basement and hallways are now realistically illuminated even from a distance.

  • No more black walls popping in. 🚫🌑

  • Fixed exposure settings for consistent cinematic horror. 👁️✅

⚡ SURVIVAL LOGIC & TIPS Never get lost in the dark again! We’ve added Contextual Help Tips. If a door or path is blocked, your character will now clearly note: "I need to turn off the power first." 💡🔌

🤫 THE ART OF THE SCARE We’ve removed several early-game jumpscares to focus on building dread. Don't worry—those scares are being moved to much more "special" locations later in the story where you won't see them coming! 😈🚫😱

🛠️ TECHNICAL PATCH NOTES:

  • Fixed: Shadow culling at long distances. 📏

  • Fixed: Lumen "firefly" sparkles in dark corners. ✨

  • Updated: Chapter 1-2 Loading Screen to match the "Clinical Subject" lore. 🏥

  • Cleaned: Optimized build size for faster performance. 📂🚀
