Environment update

  • Small wall lights keep illuminating the stone as you move through the galleries.
  • Window ironwork now has masonry sockets, anchored frames, collars, and rivets. Wall lamps have physical brass mounts.
  • Distant hills have more varied tree cover, open glades, and rock outcrops, with less obvious texture repetition.
  • Improved distant foliage and repaired missing climbing and fallen leaves.
  • Existing visits remain compatible. The optional developer guide is available under Escape → Developer guide: ON.

Polish checks

The Mac and Linux walkthroughs each passed 428 checks, with zero failures and zero runtime errors. Coverage includes lighting, fixture attachments, movement, puzzle states, wrong inputs, guide recovery, saved visits, menus, inscriptions, reflections, and the ending. Native screenshots were also inspected. The Linux OpenGL fallback passed a further 34 environment checks.

Windows has not been run on a Windows machine. Please include your Windows version, graphics card, and Player.log when reporting a launch or graphics issue.
