The steam achievements added to the game are dummy one in preparation to a possible future update to the smile game builder engine... The normal in-game achievements will pop up as usual but will not trigger the steams achievement unless a new update with support for them is released for the Smile Game Builder engine! Thank you for the comprehension!

Dear Detective,
The Mirror System had a sudden server failure at 4/20 01:20 (UTC/GMT: +8:00). Some agents are unable to log in or cannot be matched, which is being resolved. We will notify you separately after the server is opened. Please forgive me for the inconvenience caused by the agent simulation training!

-Fixed reappearing sprites after a cutscene has passed
-EX Blood Letting now has a chance to inflict Wounded as well as extend its duration.

Fixed: No UI displayed after return to main menu.
Fixed: The game may crash when get close to any interactive items and full reload current level and get to the same position.

Yes, it's the 3rd update of the day... They were all rare bugs but unpleasant if you had them, so I wanted to fix them ASAP!

This one is all about magic items.

It was possible to lose item's powers when you picked them up, after winning an encounter, leaving you with a magic item that did nothing... Nobody wants that! Fixed!

I also fixed the inventory screen to update properly when you moved magic items about - the whole rightmost pane is now rebuilt every time. (Display bug only)

- Changed newspaper from firing in any random direction to firing only in 8 positions, based on where the majority of the enemies are located.


- Smoothed out the Animation.


Changes:
- AOE damage lowered from 9-11 --> 3-5

Added:
- Pulses to the AOE damage

- Visualization of AOE damage Area and Pulses

- Level 0 Pulse Time: 2.00s
- Level 1 Pulse Time: 1.55s
- Level 2 Pulse Time: 1.25s
- Level 3 Pulse Time: 0.85s
- Level 4 Pulse Time: 0.65s
- Level 5 Pulse Time: 0.25s


- When not moving arrows now fire in the last pressed direction, rather than defaulting to the right.


- Enemies are now all killed at the start of a Boss Fight / Mini-Boss Fight


* Note: Almost all damages in Entomophobia work with a random value between two numbers, so when I type 3-5, that means 3 is the minimum damage and 5 is the max damage.
