New Features
feat/refactor - Ghosts are no longer pre-spawning on the dream map. Instead, dark pustules colonize the patient's dream. The pustules burst when getting close, and cause ghosts to spawn. Thyria is locked in a special battle mode until vanquishing all of them. It is possible to inspect the pustules and the ghosts that will spawn beforehand.
