What's new
- The Windows download is 4 times smaller. OpenScreamer.exe is now 21 MB instead of 110 MB (the zip 9 MB instead of 39 MB). It runs on a Godot build with only what the game uses: 2D, OpenGL and GDScript, without 3D, physics, Vulkan or Direct3D 12.
- Text is laid out a little more simply on Windows: no kerning, and the help screen's Japanese lines break at spaces.
- Nothing changes in the game itself; your saves and settings carry over.
If the Windows version doesn't start on your PC (very old graphics drivers without OpenGL 3.3), please report it; 0.1.2 still works there.

You still need your own disk image of the PC-9801 version of THE SCREAMER (.fdd, .fdi, .hdm, .d88, or a zip of one): OpenScreamer contains nothing from the original game.
The Linux and macOS builds still haven't been tried on a real machine; reports are welcome. macOS: the app isn't signed by Apple, so the first time, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
