This is the actual final major update for this game. Fixed a bunch of stuff (mainly maze in Chapter 5, NewGame+ error at endings). Made some QoL addendum. And added Achievements (37) and Codexes.
This update breaks the saves (sorry, I forgot to add the Achievement variable last April), so please restart the game completely - or you'll get an error.
If I don't get any bug report during this summer, I'll move the game to Released and Complete. :)
Also, if you want/can, consider sharing the original promo post! and maybe leave a rating/comment? Thanks!
NEW:
Fonts: 2 Serif + 2 monospace for main text, monospace for journal entries
Themes: Added 2 extra contrasting themes: Night Glitter and Extra Bleached
Achievement: 37 collectable achievements (100% through NewGame+)
Codex: added new entries (Chapter 5, Chapter 6)
Codex: added Achievement List on last page
Interface: added tiny scroll when new text is added to the page
Map: Toggable X marks your position
Map: Auto-scroll so current room is visible when opening popup (smaller window)

My dearest friend,
Such good fortune has befallen me, that I scarcely dare write you in case it is merely some joke played on me by fate. Lord knows that Fortuna has not been kind to me in this life. Yet fortune is fickle, and it seems the Lady has finally deigned to smile on me.
It had been years since you last saw Edward Harcourt last. Along with this sudden wish to reconnect, Edward promptly invites you to join him in his new abode of Castle Gairbuie, on the North-Western coast of Scotland, and to reward your loyal friendship.
You do not believe this vague letter is all there is to this mystery...
