Yes. The law you are referring to is the First Law of Thermodynamics. When Greta mentions "thermodynamics" she is referring to it and to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, relating to the entropy of system where energy can be created spontaneously from nothing.

technically, physics is an umbrella term which covers thermodynamics. they are interchangeable and both correct for this case

Developer(+1)

They are both correct, but Greta was alluding to something more specific than "laws of physics" in general.

Someone like her, who very openly and wholeheartedly cares about scientific research and the advancement of mankind, would be very specifically fixated on the potential of the hotel to break the laws of thermodynamics. I don't want to spell everything out but the use of "thermodynamics" was very purposeful at that point. Think like an engineer and ask yourself what you'd do if you had access to this space where you can break the laws of thermodynamics, and you just established that both matter and information can be sent to and from it.

yes, i caught up on that. writing is deliberate, the use of a more specific term like thermodynamics is indictative that the accuracy of the phrasing is important, even if physics would do just fine. my intention here was to tell the op that they are not wrong, but they are not right. no one likes being corrected, so i figured to deliberately write a response that doesn't dismiss what they thought as improper.

Will there be a new feature in future versions where I can decide my own staff's costumes? I can only decide Asterion's costume in the current version, so I'm asking if there will be a new feature for other tavern staff to decide their costumes in the future version?

Developer(+1)

We have plans for some characters to change costumes if some specific things are achieved. For example, at a later date we plan on Luke changing costume for players who reach a specific point in his story — beyond changing his pants and shirt, he'll put on a very stylish and personally meaningful jacket.

But it's not going to be like what players can do for Asterion, no. With Asterion you really can pick what he wears, but with the rest of the staff the clothes they wear is tied to what happens in your playthrough.

It always felt like in chapter 17, triggering Khenbish to tell the protagonist that he could cook for a character to permanently increase their attributes. But I picked Asterion to add the Memento value felt a bit full of malice. Because the players all in order to get along well with Asterion is not going to send him to the valley. So the meaning of this attribute added is really unclear, new version consider to add Contract or Tech instead? I think Asterion is still better suited to go to R&D.
