Update Announcement: Temporary Removal of Hallucinations

We've temporarily removed the hallucinations feature from the game. After receiving feedback from our community, it was brought to our attention that the hallucinations were too random and significantly increased the difficulty of the game. We are taking this feedback seriously and will be reworking this feature to ensure a more balanced and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work to improve the game!
