Some of the additions:
Doors now have UI titles for easier navigation around the school
The 'janky' shadows the original had are all fixed
Cleaner animations on some GameObjects
Death screen with restart prompt more simplified and clean

Simplified colliders to 'catch' less when walking by GameObjects
Debug notifications in the console decreased substantially (this file could get large in the original)
Some of the bug fixes:
Fixed issues with some connections between lights and light switches
Fixed Mesh Rendering issue on some lights
Fixed LOD issues on some GameObjects
Fixed missing wall collider in "Morning Shift"
Fixed Occlusion Culling issue on some carpets

Harthorn: Patch 03
The new patch fixes several bugs that have been noticed by players:
Fixed movement issues with metal shelf mesh colliders
Fixed the chance of freezing on being tackled by the Antagonist in the North Wing
Fixed issues with triggering "Examine" on the bomb puzzle note
The patch also moves/adds several story events that I feel better explain events around Harthorn:
Fixed missing important story dialog in the South Wing by doing objectives in the wrong order
Moved important dialog from Condemned East Wing to Condemned West Wing to not having repeating dialog on death
Some minor adjustments but will enhance gameplay (in particularly: not getting caught on shelves, missing important story moments, and rehearing the same dialog on dying).
