Hello all!

The first patch for The Mimic is here and it brings some minor fixes. Find the patch notes below.

-Fixed a potential way you can lock the Mimic in the vents, on Emergence Level One, preventing the level from being completed.

-Improved Overload Level One. The 'embarking' area has been redesigned to be smoother and the train speed has been reduced. This should give the user more thinking time.

-Improved the story terminal pickup on Overload Level One.
