Your paths are now always distinct options!

Previously, the game secretly limited the number of picks for certain options (such as only being able to Purge twice) in order to curate the run. This is now no longer hidden information; I overestimated how much complexity this would add to the decision, so it's now in the player's hands when they want to consume limited path choices.

This update also contains many bug fixes, though a lot of these actually made it into the hotfix halfway through the week.

Changelog

v0.6.1 -> v0.6.2

Bug Fixes
