Quality of Life Updates:

- Players can now use the right and left arrow keys on the keyboard to click on the previous/next arrow buttons seen in events.

- Hitting the return key when the save panel is up now functions the same as having pressed the Save button with the mouse.

- Added new gameplay preference option to automatically sell all trade goods upon arriving at a landmark with an item shop. This includes any transformed party members who have become a trade good.

Mod Support Updates:

- Added in mod / 3rd part content support for most game content, including encounters, afflictions, player transformations, cursed artifacts, instincts kick in, player and party member epilogues, new items, foods, new artwork, and more.

-- By default the mods folder can be found at AppData\LocalLow\Blue Fairy Media LLC\The Exile of Aphrodisia (2023)\mods . The game will create this directory if it does not exist. Paste in folders with mod files to load them into the game.

-- When at least one mod has been added, a button will appear at the top-right of the title page that says "mods". Click on this to see a list of modded-in content and the ability to run validation checks to ensure data is well-structured.

- Move to snow / desert / jungle commands should now load the map correctly

Other:
