Remaster Release Roadmap

🔴 CRITICAL FIXES (Game must work before anything else)

1. Fix dialogue UI

   • Textbox is missing

   • Namebox and dialogue text are appearing in the wrong places

   • This must be fixed before any real testing can continue

2. Fix HUD buttons

   • HUD appears, but buttons don’t respond

   • Phone, inventory, map, etc. need to work again with the new system

🟠 CORE STORY & GAMEPLAY BLOCKERS

1. Fix night-time cabin knock scenes

   • Knocking on doors at night currently doesn’t work

   • These are important for character progression

2. Fix window peeping scene

   • Scene doesn’t trigger correctly

   • Needs proper requirements (sneak + corruption)

   • If attempted too early, Annika should get caught

3. Add refusal scenes

   • If the player tries night-only actions during the day, a refusal scene should play instead of nothing happening

🟡 FEEDBACK & USER EXPERIENCE

1. “Item Added” notification

   • Show a small on-screen message whenever Annika picks up an item

2. Upgrade HUD icons

   • Replace 1K icons with 2K versions

   • Make sure they align properly on the HUD

🟢 STATE & LOGIC BUGS

1. Fix bathroom mirror repeat behavior

   • Mirror sometimes shows Annika nude when she shouldn’t be

2. Fix day-of-week clothing bug

   • Annika changes into the wrong day’s outfit

   • This broke recently and needs to be corrected

3. Test repeat bathroom interactions

• Mirror, toilet, and bathtub across multiple days, outfits, and times
