Version 0.15 - Bjørn update!

Dawn Chorus
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Finally after a long time, I'm coming back to you with new content for Bjørn. I planned for this update to include content for another character too, but as I was working on it, the scope grew immensely and the update ended up having around 10K words of new content for Bjørn only. I initially wanted to end the update before the dinner scene; in the end the new scenes go much beyond that point, and in addition to new content for Bjørn's route there's also a new optional meeting with Mikko. 

Other than the new scenes, there's also an illustration for Bjørn by Bakemonoy, a new instant photo by hq, and a tiny extra thing you might notice between a few scenes on Bjørn's route. I spent more time on the animations, so the new content looks a bit livelier. There are also a few new renders and backgrounds, though some of them are only placeholders, unfortunately (Roborak just got more RAM and the new, nicer backgrounds should be here soon).

One more thing - even if you didn't watch the film with Bjørn at the end of Day 1, the game will act as if you did. I cut out that branch to avoid unnecessary complexity and removed the choice from that scene.
