This tracker will provide subtle clues to keep players on track without spoiling the fun. Furthermore, the game's engine has been updated to the latest Long-Term Support (LTS) version of Unity, specifically Unity 2023. This update ensures that the game benefits from the latest performance and stability improvements.
