While the game may present the illusion of total freedom, indie games of this nature often guide players toward specific "routes" or "endings" (Good, Bad, or Neutral). The v1.145 update likely refined these triggers to smooth the player experience, reducing "soft locks" where players cannot progress due to missed stats. Being a Wife -v1.145- By baap
