Just played through the update and all the changes seem good!

I managed to get to the end on my second attempt, first run died to the voyeur after I didn't spot it quickly enough.
It definitely feels better while still being stressful to do deal with.

Outside of that, some things that I came across/ thought about:

- Sometimes, the yellow highlight on interactable items stays and you can see it across the map. It disappears when you interact with it again.
Not sure about the cause, but both times it happened was when I stopped what I was doing and quickly left.

- After 3am, the angel completely disappeared and the cyclops only appeared once. Not sure if I was just lucky or if something wasn't working correctly?

- What do the upgrades do exactly? I got all of them through the run but it still felt pretty rng as to which area would need repair next.
I had an area with an upgrade active that I had to go to multiple times in a row while others were fine.

- The lore mentions things happening the longer the machinery stays off, haven't tested myself but is it a gameplay mechanic or flavour text?
Could be interesting to have some environmental obstacles like that appear around later during the night.

I'm so glad you enjoyed and got to the ending! 

About the stuff you point out:

- I've notice that once during all the playtest o-o I could not replicate it, so I don't really know. I'll check what you said.

- I think you were really lucky! There's a chance that every time a machine breaks one of the two (If able) will spawn.  But there is a small chance of neither appearing! I think that's what happened.

- The upgrades reduce the amount of "punishment" for keeping a machine in a broken state. They reduce the rate at wich the clock advances towards the bad ending. 

- And yeah, it's flavor text and lore. In Shaft-10 (The free game I launched with DtS) there are some more lore pieces and even some references to the eyes, for example. But yeah, mainly flavor text in there. In upcoming games within this lore might not be tho... :)
