Sometimes the AI is having a bit of a meltdown, running around their ship instead of repairing it.

Input System Update - Huge thank you for all the feedback!

Thanks to all the suggestions and comments I received, I could greatly improve the game. I'm pretty excited to share this update with you!

@PrettyFrenchMan5

Just wanted to let you know that the demo of Pale Night is out on GameJolt! And we're looking for feedback! In this difficult platformer you'll have to avoid light at all cost in challenging puzzles based around shadows. https://gamejolt.com/games/Pale-night/609017

@davidchen153

yes... Spiritwell is still being worked on...

@PrettyFrenchMan3

Still working on the full release of the game. I fixed some minor issues thanks to the feedback players sent over Discord. This feedback is so valuable that I decided to spend some time adding a bug report and suggestion system right into the game!
