Hey there, I tried the game again (on itch.io, if these are different versions), and from what I can tell, there are still tons of special characters in the last two recipes. In "Pan-Asian Lunch", the Friturier "wipes away a single tear" once, which consists of pure special characters, and the patissier says "yum?" once, with a question mark. I haven't been able to progress much in the last recipe, but from what I can tell, it's similarly filled to the brim with special characters.
Also, I no longer get the music in Chrome, but that problem may be on my end (or due to a browser extension or something).
Anyway, I've had my fill of the game, and I understand if you want to move on to other projects. Just wanted to let you know.
