Hey everyone!

After the past two housekeeping update months, we once again finally got some brand new story content for the Beta!

This time, a whole new branch opened up, along with the introduction to the long-awaited Bar Escape Room featuring Maesol, Foris, and Canori.

Aside from that, this update also features a variety of fixes and improvements, which the Demo gets to benefit from as well! Some particular highlights:

• Fixed a critical bug that prevented save files from being loaded!
• Added support for 16:10 screen resolutions!

I pain-stakingly checked every part of the game to make sure everything scales correctly, but let me know if I missed something or broke something for 16:9 resolutions in the process!
