Added low memory overhead option.
This new setting will enable the main hub map, Westminster to be streamed in over 12 seconds. I noticed a huge memory spike when transitioning to Westminster that could occasionally lead to an out of memory crash on systems with less RAM or VRAM.

The map is the same, it's just been chopped up into small chunks that are loaded in sequentially, memory is flushed between each chunk to ensure the loading system isn't getting overwhelmed when clearing old and loading new data in for gameplay.

I recommend leaving this off if you can, it will cause a 12 second load screen every time you enter Westminster, but it will help if you ever get hard crashes due to running out of system memory. It also lessens the impact of page file transfer, which can lead to massive slowdown for a minute or so on level loads.

• Fixed mannequins waking too early in the Theatre.
  
• Added drop prompt to inventory when using KB&M.
  
• Lots of memory optimisations throughout the game.

I'll be checking the boards over the next few days to be sure I didn't introduce new bugs with my changes, so please report if you find anything!

Thank you!

We just released the soundtrack for purchase, 100% of revenue from music sales go directly to Jamie, so if you like the music, and appreciate a good score, please consider picking it up. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for the amazing reception to the game and some lovely comments that have been coming through for the music!

The Hanwell game’s hold a special place in my heart, given the original was my first ever credited game Soundtrack. So to have the opportunity to come back to this world and compose for a sequel was a fun challenge. Particular highlights include working with an incredible Vocalist Shila Vikström, recording a unique electro-acoustic Horror instrument ‘The Esoteric Machine’ and finding interesting and creepy ways to bring back themes and melodies from the original.

The OST is now released to coincide with 1.0 launch, with 18 tracks and several options for however you prefer to listen to your music; via Steam or direct from my Artist page on Bandcamp for downloads. Or otherwise all of the major Streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon etc) so you can add to your Playlists.

All profits will go straight to me, the Composer and I’m so grateful for your support and passion for this game.

Keep it spooky! 🖤
