0.92.1 Update - Fixed a bug where the screen would freeze when returning to the main menu

We've added a new system that triggers random events based on the day count, affecting the entire dungeon!

Events are categorized as good events and bad events
Higher difficulty increases the probability of bad events occurring
Random events are determined at the start of each new game and their order will not change with save & load

Events will not occur on days 20/30
Events will not occur during your first playthrough

Currently implemented events: Events that apply immediately upon activation
Upcoming events:
Events that last for a certain period after activation
Neutral events and more

Feature in development: The random event system is currently under development, and the presentation and system mechanics may be modified in the future.

Fixed incorrect dialogue with Utori
Fixed a bug where previous traits remained after evolution and loading
Modified so that duplicate traits cannot be obtained
Limited the maximum number of traits to 10 (may be readjusted later)

Notice

After the 0.91 update, save files from version 0.91 and below will be automatically deleted to prevent bugs. This update is due to improvements in the internal structure, so we ask for your understanding. (No data other than save files will be deleted)
