🛠️ Changes

• Added full un-bind support for the "Controls" menu. Pressing "Escape" while re-binding will un-bind the selected key.

• Added the ability to have an "interactive" crosshair.

  • This option allows for the crosshair to only appear when hovering/performing an interaction, rather then the existing always/never options.

• Using the jump key while crouched now causes the player to stand up.

• Several additions and improvements to all levels, backported from their full game versions.

• Major save system improvements -- Settings and Gameplay data are now separate save files.

• Improved localization support.

• Updated audio, subtitle, and upscaling integrations.

• Added initial support for non-16:9 aspect ratios to account for ultrawide monitors.

  • Certain areas of the game may have visual issues. Please report these issues through the appropriate channels as well as what resolution/window mode settings you were using at the time.

  • A new setting in the Graphics tab has also been added to allow configuring whether to constrain to horizontal or vertical field of view.
