Graphically, v0.3.1 adds a dynamic shader to the mother character model. Known in the code as Shader_Xray_Mom , it subtly changes the mother’s eye texture based on your in-game "Trust Score."

On the technical side, -v0.3.1- fixes the memory leak that occurred during the "Dinner Table Interrogation" scenes. Previously, the game would stutter when the mother asked, "So, what did you actually do today?" with more than three gray boxes of possible lies open. Now, the engine handles branching lies smoothly.

The developer, known only as "SockDrawerDev," has described this patch as the "Pots and Pans Update"—a reference to the new sound engine that makes the distant clatter of cookware in the kitchen feel like a jumpscare. Here is the breakdown of the major changes landing in this version:
