Update Changelog:

Changed the key backtracking and swapped door keys in the final room to be easier and less time-consuming.
Changed the key backtracking and swapped area keys in chapter 3 forest to be easier and less time-consuming.
Added better collision to the second outside map in chapter 4 for more free roam access instead of very limited access.
Updated the chapter 4 portal puzzle to show a counter of how many portals are left and added a new easy way to recognize the portal texture pattern in the puzzle instead of no texture pattern for each right portal.
Fixed a bug where you can unlock the door behind you in the chapter 2 music room chase scene.
Removed the Minimum package of A Dark Place as it is no longer needed (Replaced with Stream/Video Friendly Version).

New Features:

Improved the finale design and made it less like a maze.
Added random key spot generation in the final room.
Replaced bug in chapter 2 music room chase scene with DeathNote secret instead of the recording room bug.
Fixed default special edition window to custom window.
(From First Update): Updated the true ending to feature an actual ending.

Delayed/Cancelled Feature:

Printer access in chapter 4 where it uses your printer to print a message after nightmare chase scene. Reason removed: Broke the standalone build of the game. I may attempt to debug and fix this issue for another game update.

Note that this is only the second update and will still be more improved through further updates on the game. This only fixes the major problems in the game at the moment.

Any update suggestions or fix requests would definitely help me fix the errors and issues within the game. Thank you all for supporting A Dark Place and I hope everyone will have a nice day!
