-Fixed missing saxophone sound in second Countess encounter.
-Fixed some music issues.
-Resolved dictation machine screen showing all hotspots.
-Fixed inventory item stuck issues.
-Fixed F5/F7 issues.
-Now "Shutterbug" achievement unlocks in-game photos on the main menu.

Sorry for patching this so often, but these came up, and I can't let the game be in a lesser state. Hopefully we won't find more or require to fix more, most of the issue here also caused soft locks.

Sorry but we had further fixes!

- Resolved issue allowing players to glitch through doors with "Ghost"-Lauren.

- Added missing period at the end of certain sentences.
- Fixed missing speech for "Nevermind" response.

- UI and Interaction Fixes:
- Adjusted text box position to prevent text from being cut off or misplaced.
- Resolved issue preventing the clickable note from being selected after the first interaction.
- Disabled notebook access during the final scene when Lauren is being strangled.

- Menu and Pause Behavior:

- Resolved unusually loud music issue in the "other world" scene with Isaac Brown.

-Inventory Access Restriction: Inventory can no longer be accessed outside of active gameplay, preventing potential softlocks.
-Text Skipping Fix: The CTRL+P skip function now works correctly during the opening sequence when Lauren is speaking.
-Walkable Area Correction: Fixed unintended walkable area on the boots.
-Menu Interaction Blocked: Hotspots and interactions are now disabled across all menus (main, save, load, quit, help) to prevent softlocks.
-Inventory Drag Issue Fixed: Resolved issue where switching to Joey with an item selected would disable inventory dragging upon returning to Lauren.
-Inventory Interaction Restriction: Opening options, notebook, or case list while dragging an item now automatically resets to the default cursor.
-Saxophone Sound Bug Fixed: Fixed missing saxophone sound after the Countess disappears at Roosevelt Island Promenade.
-Dialogue Sync: Fixed discrepancies between speech and on-screen text.
-Music Restart Fixes: Music no longer restarts when leaving the close-up saxophone screen or after saying goodbye to Cecil.
Fixed background music restarting when exiting the case list from any screen.
-Inventory Text Bug: Right-clicking on an item now clears the descriptive text when Lauren finishes speaking.

Special thanks to Andi for reporting all these!

Basically we've added the ability to change from skipping speech automatically and with keypresses to only when you keypress if u press "CTRL+P", that state is global, and persists between your savegames.

Thanks to mefjak, for bringing up two issues to our attention.
1) Inventory not properly updating
2) Savegame UI.

Hi,

We're upgrading the game to 3.6 version of AGS, which basically means better rendering, better support for resolutions and better support for keyboard and mice!

The savegames have been tested and should work, and shouldn't break.
If for any reason there's an issue, feel free to report and opt in to beta oldversion, by using the password "oldversionold"

Took us a while, but thankfully, Blackwell Unbound, a personal favorite, is now available for the Steamdeck!
