This update has been tested pretty thoroughly, but things always slip through. Please report any bugs here!:

Director's Cut Part 1?
The changes to the latter half of the game have become much more ambitious than originally planned. So I'll be releasing an additional update that will include these changes, plus some level design changes and kinda superfluous bonus stuff.
This update is prettttyyy huge still, so I hope this is enough to tide you over for now! The second part of the update is well under way and I'm hoping to get it out by August.
The second half of the game still has edits and cuts, but they're much more subdued than what's being worked on behind the scenes.
Sorry for the wait and thank you for your patience!

These changes aren't really for the people who hated it or the people who loved it. They are mostly to satisfy my self-indulgent perfectionist urges.
Things like the map are being thrown in because of feedback, but at the end of the day I hope to please myself and add what I couldn't have added on time here.
Please look at these updates as a means of self-reflection from myself and as an acknowledgement of this games beautiful, annoying and bizarre flaws.
