Differences#

Act 1#

- After the first cutscene in the start of Act 1, the player is forced to be caught by the Neighbor, before another cutscene plays. In this build however, the player can move after the first cutscene, and the second cutscene is absent, making the act technically start after that only cutscene.

- The Neighbor is more aggressive in Act 1, since Friendly Mode isn't turned on by default for Act 1 in this build.

Act 2#

- A lot of the Decoration is absent from this build.

Act 3#

- The Act 3 minigames in this build are broken, as completing them will not reward the player with the abilities. The way to get around this is by loading a Beta 3 save with the minigames completed. However, this will cause many objects to be misplaced.
