Red Room Version 0.36c _verified_ Jun 2026
Previous versions used a clean, white-on-black terminal aesthetic. Version 0.36c replaces this with an analog CRT filter complete with persistent scanlines and a "VHS static" background that crackles when your character’s sanity depletes.

This specific version reflects a developer’s commitment to addressing immediate bugs or balancing issues, ensuring that the user experience remains stable even while in a state of flux.
