There is no "Exit" button. In v0.2, you must walk to the back door—the one that leads to the overgrown garden where the beehive used to be. You must open it. On the other side is not the garden.

v0.2 introduces a persistent drip. The drip is not random. It syncs to your real-world system clock. At 3:00 PM, it drips once. At 3:15, twice. At 4:00, four times. By midnight, the drip becomes a flood. The floor of the kitchen becomes a shallow pool, reflecting not the ceiling, but the sky above the house you grew up in. If you look down, you can see yourself at age seven, eating a popsicle on a lawn that no longer exists.
AceStudio has confirmed that v0.3 will include the basement.
