The demo just got an update. Most of this comes straight from your feedback over the past week — thank you.
Text size — new slider in Settings, default 130%, up to 150%. Scales text only, the board stays put.
2K / 4K — the game now fills high-resolution screens instead of sitting small in the middle; F11 toggles fullscreen.
Live score preview — while placing cards, the panel shows this hand's estimated total (chips × mult = score). Rearrange and watch it move. Can be turned off in Settings.
Mute in background — music mutes when you switch to another window and comes back when you return. Can be turned off.
Tutorial — no more fixed order. Do the five things once (home cell, Generation, Counter, discard, fill the board) and the hints stop. Fixed the tutorial locking up after a reload.
Main menu — new two-column layout; difficulty, sect and mandate open in place.
Fixed the shop showing the wrong card after pinning one; fixed Simplified Chinese font fallback; the "running install script" hang on launch is gone — WebView2 now installs only if your Windows lacks it.
Still a Next Fest preview build — keep telling us what breaks on the forums or in Discord.
