Hey Parasiitti, really glad you're enjoying the game so far.
Adressing point 1, we got some new assets for the next build, including the hotel exterior, so that background is getting replaced. Thank you for pointing it out because it's a good reminder to go over the script for the previous builds and replace all instances of the image, hahaa.
For point 2, the lead and gold armbands are a callback to the myth of Apollo and Daphne, at least Ovid's version of it (pay attention when 0.5 is released because we'll be calling back to it again). I hate to say "a wizard did it", but let's roll with it being magic lead (which it technically is, to be fair) and its prolonged use is not harmful to the main character.
As for an estimated release of 0.5, we'll be making a devlog soon with a progress report for April. We had another really productive month and we're estimating June or July.
