Release 1.1 "Groundhog Day" The community has spoken! I received tons of feedback about this game - thank you very much! Without you guys, this game wouldn't be what it is right now ♥ This patch fixes numerous bugs and brings a lot of QoL changes that significantly improve the survival experience of our squirrels.

New content:
- Mike now responds to groundhog day date.

- The conversation with Daddy Squirrel now no longer breaks off if you don't give him any supplies.
- Daddy Squirrel will not accept any more supplies if he has enough to survive the winter.
- At the end of each day there is a choice whether to use the EXP received directly. After that the game is saved.
