- Lots of work on the look and feel of the map! You can't enjoy this properly yet while there's still only one travel destination, but the experience is more elegant when you do (vignette, Spencer bubble, fun-er button, bigger hitboxes for cities, prettier selection marker)

- halved the default tooltip delay (won't affect existing installs, but you can still reduce tooltip delay in config)

- much harder to select dialogue options by mistake! we wait for a quarter-second after the text completes, and we don't select the first option unless you hit an arrow key, so you can safely hammmer space. Also, down arrow now advances text.

- if you switch from crafting to inventory at a venue, then back, crafting remembers the venue

- walking near puddles should no longer provoke weird behaviour from Spencer

- game will no longer crash if you have the wrong permissions on your save folder

- camera movement tutorial popup

- lots of fiddly highlight bug fixing

- if you've met someone but they have no opinion of you yet, journal will show 'Uncertain' not 'Unmet'

- LOAD GAME button disappears when there are no saves, matching continue button

- bug report character limit of 3000 characters (we're still at [email protected] if you want a more prolix option)

- clarified 'consumed' vs 'exhausted'

- Linou varies her lines when you're doing conjuring tricks.

- the Antibes welcome zone no longer rotates Spencer. Don't look back in anger.

- load/save menu scroll now works the first time you open it

But we wanted to get the text size change out - both because people have been asking for it, and because I suspect it will cause some UI side-effects that we'd like to hear about. 2026.9.m.81 - "YON LION'S ET ALBERT" - added promised TEXT SIZE option! It might well cause some oddities at larger text size! Please send us screens…In-game event2 Sep 2026## 2026.9.m.17 - "CANTILEVERED INTO LIGHT"Until this update, the game had two kinds of skill-modifying items · permanent items you'd equip that would give you bonuses · one-use items you'd equip that would give you bonuses until the first time you succeeded with a skill check that relied on them as the best bonus-giver, at which point they'd get used up, also you could use them whether equipped or not to unlock occult-operation choices…In-game event27 Aug 20262026.8.l.31 - "THE HEART HAD BEEN AN APPLE ONCE"2026.8.l.31 - "THE HEART HAD BEEN AN APPLE ONCE" - there are now three dialogue speeds: CALM, QUICK and CRISP. Try 'em out and see which one works for you. - related: fix for the stuttering effect in dialogue - typewriting in CALM and QUICK is much smoother (CRISP has no typewriting at all) - you can now use a mixture of Experiences rather than all of one type to increase (but not evolve) a Ski…
