Hey Beekeepers! This is mostly an update to clean up a bunch of stuff and get everything ready for the Steam Playtest tomorrow - it's also the last update in terms of content and story and has an actual ending so... that's exciting! And sad. But mostly exciting! With this update you'll now be able to travel to that mysterious 5th Gate location, where you'll find... well you'll see for yourself! I also fixed a LOT of gamepad mode so if you've been waiting for that now is finally the time to be able to test it properly. If you are a content creator/streamer we'd ask that any streams you do are tagged with spoilers, and that you don't stream anything from the 5th Gate location onwards so we can keep things spoiler free for everyone else <3 (For Mod Creators, I didn't add too much in this version I'm afraid as the Playtest was the priority but there'll be some new stuff soon for the custom slot logic / click / rendering I promise!)

Changes
