Update


Merry Christmas! For your present, I've updated Erstwhile.

I've lamented an issue in Erstwhile before that got brought up in multiple critiques, and I have tried my best to fix it for the first time...

Vague spoilers Clues that can't be linked are now more obvious, as Mort/the game will not let you select them, and will suggest you move them to the "set aside" section.

The other big visible change I made is that clicking a clue on the Clues page will open up a dialog rather than a new page you have to back out of.

I've done a few tweaks of language (mostly of the game hints and non-Mort-flavored text) and formatting as well, but I've tried my damndest not to actually fix any language or writing of the game itself, no matter how much I want to.

On the back end I've done some major refactoring of code, so if you encounter any bugs or typos, please let me know in the comments!

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the update!
