Early Access 0.1564.3: Redemption Spiral Path Additions

Hiya, cakes!

Just like that another month has passed. So it's well past time that I deliver the next release of Penlight!

I fell just short of my main goal this month, which was to complete the new Redemption storyline path "Spiral". I've written a complete script right up to the penultimate scene, it gets a little crazy towards the end and I think it's a pretty tough read overall, in keeping with the theme of the route, so I'm anxious to hear what people make of it.

Nozomi's Trance story path also saw a little love, with the new CG looking really pretty and facilitating a minor rewrite of the scene it's in that will make another CG possible. It's a nice feeling to be able to finally get that part of the game illustrated at last~

Anyway, I really hope you all enjoy this one! Next month I'll be polishing up the Spiral path and seeing what else I can jump to. We should also be seeing another illustration or two for the new scenes at the very least.

Hope to see you all in February!

EDIT: Updated this release to include Spanish translation of the latest script, the addition of the Redamption Spiral CG variant to the CG gallery and a few other little tweaks
