This update focuses on loading-related freezes and clearer guidance during play.
Bug fixes and stability
- Fixed indefinite waits when room, shop, intro or hand-animation images fail to load.
- Added time limits to data loading and startup operations.
- Improved Windows startup handling and moved save-path work off the window thread.
- Kept interactions progressing when hand rendering fails, with protection against duplicate actions from late image loads.
- Added scene and night context to error logs to help investigate freezes and unexpected exits.
Additions and improvements
- Require a placed offering and an incense count before starting a ritual.
- Added continuous visual reminders for carried offerings, the shop button and incense selection until the required step is completed.
- Reformatted the guide into clearer points and highlighted the time limit and exploration guidance.
- Repositioned the night-three camera magnifier and time-cost notice for better visibility.
