This update still ends at the same spot as the previous release. Still, there are new scenes to discover, but they are placed between the existing story.

With that out of the way, we can come to the more personal part of this release note. How are you guys? Hope you're doing well and aren't fighting something stupid like food poisoning. Me neither, at least not anymore.

Sorry. I wanted to release this update a little sooner, but when I was right about to finish, I was knocked out for a few days. That's done now. I'm full of energy and can't wait to work on the next release (Which will feature a little more story).

Oh no, I said it. This update is just something for in-between releases that had to be done to set up a few things for the second half of Episode 3. Mainly two conversations between Amber and Tracy. Still, two exchanges wouldn't take too long to add, but when going over my old work, I can't help but try to fix a few things.

It's all connected to a broader effort of me trying to become a better writer so the story won't crumble within the next few updates. In the end, it's time good invested, even if it doesn't look that way now, seeing how long it took me to bring out Episode 2.6. Hold back your judgment for one or two releases. You'll find that the story will feel very natural.

So, what was added in this version? This is a spoiler, so don't read this if you want to play the game and find the new details yourself.

You have been warned. There is a new Intro that's more fitting for the type of game I'm creating. The MC's past has been fleshed out a lot more in multiple shorter scenes during the first night. The cop that shot Aurora now has another scene showing his internal struggles. Amber's language theory has been cut out from the game because it's not coherent with its internal logic. I fleshed out the backstories of each character behind the scenes, and her answer no longer made any sense. Then, there is a slight change when the girls discuss if they want to rely on MC's help. And lastly, there are the two conversations between Amber and Tracy that I've already mentioned. This sums it up quite nicely. There are one or two more minor changes, like added lines that display the thoughts of certain characters, but they are too small to all be mentioned here.
