Bug fixes and improvements:

• In the Portal room, when entering the Shadow World, the pad for the code is now more visible.
  
• In the Portal room, the note has been slightly modified as it could have been misunderstood.
  
• In the machine puzzle, the switches were not loaded properly after the covers were removed.
  
• A sequence in the cage room was not loaded correctly.
  
• Trophies were not activated correctly in the [In Game Desktop].
• A one-time tutorial for loading in the gallery now appears when entering the desktop screen via the [Esc] menu, or when restarting the game if a save file already exists.
• The tutorial in the school has been revised to make the Mouse Eye and save function more visible.
• An icon now appears in the top-right corner when the game is saved.
• Some enemies in the first area have been adjusted to deal less damage.
• Some players misunderstood the intentionally ‚trash‘ start. It is meant to show how the shadows take over your PC and improvise. To clarify any confusion, I’ve added a conversation where the shadows address the state of things.
• The machine puzzle has been expanded with a new button. This moves the rows completely down, so it no longer takes forever to reach the desired point.
• Additionally, small visual hints have been added to the machine puzzle.
• Revising the grammar of the text, except for the beginning of the game, because the shadows also messed up the grammar in their "program".
• Redesigning the intro so that it’s not so long, or adding an optional feature.
• The [Esc] menu, which becomes available after entering the Grasslands, now includes a tab for “Options”, where you can adjust the volume, and an "Exit" button to quit the game more quickly.
• The intro has been completely removed and will be made optionally accessible at a later point. The game now starts directly before the house sequence.
• Several cuts were made during the classroom and soul sequence to reduce the time it takes to reach the Shadow Realm.
• A bug with the second campfire has been fixed, so you are now sent to sleep immediately without saving.
• A bug with the second campfire when talking to the Mask has been fixed, where an empty field was displayed that served no purpose.
• For the first boss, the Mushroom King, a feature has been added where a checkpoint will be unlocked if you die more than five times in the second or third phase.
• The enemies in the first two maps of the Grasslands have been made slightly weaker and now have less health, as it was found that with a level 1 Shadow, you couldn't achieve much.
• Some hidden items, like Shadow Cookies and Shadow Coffee, have been placed along the way to the Cave of Souls. Finding these will make the early game up to level 2 a little easier.
• The school and soul sequences, as well as the conversation with the Mask, have been significantly shortened.
• A bug with the glass has been fixed, when the Shadow was pulled out of the ground.
• In the machine puzzle, visual numbers have been added to the switches for better understanding, indicating which number they are assigned to.
• The campfire has been revised. You can now choose whether to rest or just save. This way, you don’t have to watch the entire sleeping scene again.
• The Mushroom King has also been revised. If you die for the first time, the mask transformation part will be skipped, and the fight will start immediately.
• The code puzzle at the beginning has received an additional hint to provide more clarity.
• An extra hint has also been added to the machine puzzle.

• A bug in the second phase of the Mushroom King has been fixed, which caused a display error after being crushed, as well as an input error.
• If you die for the first time in the second phase of the Mushroom King, the intro sequence will be shortened.
