Thank you to everyone that wrote feedback and reported bugs on the forms, we listened to you!Here are the patch notes:

Added Linux support: That also means the game is now playable on SteamDeck without Proton natively! (Unfortunately you wouldn't see any cutscenes at the moment, we're working on a way to fix that)
PlayStation DualSense and DualShock Controller support: This includes accurate button inputs will be displayed in the tutorial and hints. And there is a new graphic in the pause menu telling you all the controls on specifically the PlayStation controllers!
Ultrawide & More Resolutions / Aspect Ratios Support: They worked before, but the UI was scaled wrong and sometimes some buttons weren't visible. We fixed that now so everything works as intended on various resolutions, including but not limited to: 21:9 (Ultrawide) 32:9 (Super Ultrawide), 16:9 (Of course) 16:10 (Looking at you SteamDeck), 4:3 (Does anyone play on this?).

And some in-game fixes such as:

The backyard actually looks good now! (We had to go to this scary place called "outside" to gather references)
If you use the Surface Spill Ability on Tea / Coffee, it will have accurate puddles instead of regular water puddles
The goldfish has a sticker next to her fishbowl now, telling the world her name, Sheen!
Minor bug fixes

Thanks again to everyone that submitted bug reports and feedback. Feel free to join our Discord to give personal feedback and get updates on the game regularly.
