Great update, the game is much improved now! Regarding the lack of music, I still think it needs "something", but it's up to you how you want it to be. Atleast now it's consistent since the game no longer has a battle theme.
The only thing I still have a problem with is combat. What is the evasion rate on the Wretches and hit chance for your attacks? Because the main character now seems to miss more often than actually hitting.
Btw. how do you get the second ending?
