## [1.46.0] - 2026-10-31

### Changed
- *The Mountains of Madness* fully rebuilt: from Arkham in 1930 through Boston, Hobart and the Ross Sea to Lake's camp, the city beyond the pass and the tunnel beneath it, and home to Arkham again. Twelve chapters, 130+ scenes, 20+ groups of mutually exclusive choices and 17 endings, all following the novella instead of the old shared case skeleton.
- Evidence, readings of the murals and your standing with Dyer, Lake, Pabodie and Danforth carry through to the final choices and endings.
- Cases can now end a branch in their own authored death (for example staying at Lake's camp, or getting lost on the plateau).
- Difficulty re-estimated for the new case (life: medium, sanity: low), with rest beats along the way so a thorough investigator can still reach an ending.

## [1.45.0] - 2026-10-31

### Changed
- Items, evidence and companion attitudes you pick up now affect later checks: while held, the relevant options show a bonus or penalty tag (e.g. "", ""). Over 450 pickups that previously did nothing now have a use.
- Several bonuses can stack on one check; positive bonuses together are capped at +30%, penalties are not. The more evidence you gather, the better your odds in the final deduction and confrontation.

## [1.44.0] - 2026-10-31

### Changed
- The dice roll is now a single percentile die: its faces read 5, 10 ... 100, and the face it lands on shows the exact 1-100 result. No more five d20s added together, and no more "0" faces.
- The opening investigation chain in twelve cases has been rewritten: every step's prompt, options and success/failure results now refer to that case's own people, places and clues instead of shared generic text.
- Rewrote nearly 2,000 passages that were repeated across cases, word for word or with only the names swapped, across scenes, options, results, escape sequences, deaths and ending summaries. The Kingsport-template cases (The Terrible Old Man, The Tree, The Cats of Ulthar, The Temple) and the underground-delve cases have had their scenes rewritten individually.
- Non-canon characters who shared a name across cases (several Silases, Ezras, Amoses and Josiahs, among others) have been renamed so each name belongs to one case.
- Cut a large amount of filler from the English text ("its own", "whatever it costs you", "For a moment", "Ordinary X, ordinary Y, nothing more" and similar), with matching edits in Chinese and Japanese.
