- rework
Wings of energy
One system of wings for both figures: Cupid's broad, five golden filaments with light flowing along them; Psyche's small, violet to blue, her body a faint rose.
- level
II.2: Pan's meadow
A second diorama after the crag: a gentle way down to the river's high brow where Pan sits (V.25), a plank the lamp shows, a short way for whoever turns twice; a new fragment (II.2b, Pan and Echo).
- docs
README
New title shot (New game, Games), two shots of the new screens (the games, the constellation), the new controls.
- rework
Cupid as light
Cupid is a figure of pure light that breathes, with trails of light for wings (a ripple running along them, quicker in flight); his robe mesh and feathers removed.
- feature
The act as a constellation
In the level select Tab (pad Y) turns the row of pictures into a constellation: a star per level, lit lines where the tale went on, a level's other dioramas as small stars rising from it.
- tooling
Shots of the games
The shots script shows the games list with three saves, the erase question and the title on Continue.
- feature
Five games
Up to five saves side by side ("Games" on the title: continue one, start a new one, erase one); the old save becomes game 1. The title opens on Continue or New game.

A column of warm light and rising embers over the last brazier lit; every lit flame larger.
- feature
Hold to skip
Cutscenes skip when held: a ring fills with rising plucks and the pad shakes; a press with "R twice".
- ui
The brazier's tutorial
Lighting a brazier shows a tutorial card (its sign, the R button pointed at, a tick when she goes back to it).
- ui
Where am I, in pause
The pause names the act, the level and which diorama at the top, the title in the titles' face.
- sound
Act change sound
A pluck when the level select changes act, a step higher for each act.
