• Expanded opening: A reworked prologue adds a short, evocative scene establishing the town’s seasonal rhythms and the protagonist’s motive for returning. It improves player orientation without spoiling later reveals.
• Two new locales: A disused boathouse and an overgrown cliff path, each containing environmental clues and collectible journal fragments that flesh out local history.
• Additional NPC dialogue: Existing characters gained new lines that react to discovered evidence and timed events, increasing the sense of an interconnected community.
• Streamlined clue-handling: Inventory and note systems were refined so found clues auto-index into the protagonist’s journal with short summaries and location tags.
• Minor puzzles and branching hints: Three optional micro-puzzles were added (one lockpick, one tide-timed observation, one pattern-matching riddle). Each has an alternate hint path to reduce frustration for players focused on narrative.
• Performance and accessibility tweaks: Reduced memory spikes in midgame scenes, improved text contrast options, and a toggle for auto-skip on repeated dialog.
