I like the changes. Security cameras especially seem like something that could ramp up difficulty as the game progresses, like not having them at first then more and more get installed every week.
suggestion:
I think tutorializing the curfew would be good? like for the very first curfew you could do something like find the closest window spawn point to the player and force spawn it? then come up with a little dialog saying to go there for the chance at a high-value picture or whatever. Otherwise people might not know you can wander around at night and find the windows
bugs:
- Spoke to one npc and was unable to turn in his photo, then spoke to another and turned his in. After that, I couldn't go into the apartment because it kept coming up with the first npc's dialog. Went to the camera shop and it had the same issue once, but then I hit E again and it worked? Not sure what that was about
- Still having instant fails on some mazes, know you've not worked on that yet though
- I could never go into the clothing store, but I only tried after buying all the upgrades from the camera shop. Once I tried going into the clothing store it was curfew and while the shop icon disappeared, nothing else happened, so I assumed it was the curfew's fault. But then the next day it didn't work either, or any time after that
- Game froze loading the next morning once, not sure why. I force closed it, then opened it again and I no longer had the vignette upgrade. but the upgrade was also not purchasable. so I was permanently stuck with a bad camera. loaded the game again and I could buy the no vignette upgrade. probably has to do with how the game saves
- note I'm running on linux via proton, and I clicked the reset progress button to make a new game for this version. don't think those should make a difference though
