Hi everyone! Thanks so much for playing The Aster Initiative demo! This update adds a few things you asked for and fixes the issues you've reported.
* The work quota is lighter: 5 reviews instead of 10 and 20 files instead of 35, with calls still at 3. Once your 20 files are sorted, new ones arrive much more slowly, so the afternoon is free to explore.
* New Windowed display mode in Settings > Video, and full screen can now run at 1600x900 or 1280x720 for older PCs.
* Once Net Navigator is unlocked, your Notepad points you to the in-game web.
* You can no longer miss the supervisor's first chat or the passwords document, even in an existing save.
* Objectives you finish early, like signing in to your e-mail, complete right away.
* Stevie no longer waits all day if you ignore him, and lets you know when someone wants to chat.
* Clicking back into the game no longer clicks whatever is under your mouse.
* Resolution options can now be picked at any screen size.
* The full list of sites on Net Navigator's Home page is now easier to find.
* Compliance Review papers now open beside the review instead of covering it.
* Cancelled downloads and incomplete e-mail addresses now get a clear message.
* The desktop audio gets quieter when the supervisor walks in, instead of going silent.
* Fixed subtitles showing over silence and videos falling out of sync at high stress.
* Plus plenty of smaller fixes and polish.
