Confirmed T1 — Steam patch notes (Aug 20): Crypt entrance could be blocked; date story cutscenes, Mastersoup, Bat Form Nooks, and the Museum afterparty wedding skip could soft-lock; Mermaid's Wish shells now count in House Storage — plus dozens of other major/minor fixes.

Confirmed T1 — Steam patch notes (Aug 21): decorations that could no longer be picked up (incl. Herb Garden and Cauldron) are fixed; duplicate Nokturna card copies are now recognized in the collection overview and deckbuilder.
