New Meta Progression
There is now the beginnings of meta progression! The goal here is to focus on convenience and aesthetic upgrades permanently. Utilitarian upgrades will remain as they are now, found during each run.
First person mode! Complete any run, win or lose, and you can play in first person! Choose first or third person in options once unlocked.
Permanent lanyard! Win or lose any run, after attaining the lanyard, and keep it forever! Remember, the lanyard not only frees up a hand, but also automates Roger picking up the key for you.
