Versions Differences
- Original Demo executable supported widescreen resolutions, but it just stretches image horizontally and looks unpleasant. Patched demo executable dropped this feature,
- Original demo contained only three videos with higher quality. Patch brought lower quality counterparts of same files, so in settings of patched executable you can choose Movie Quality, which was absent in unpatched executable for obvious reason.
- Lighthing looks a bit broken in original version.
