Sable can now acquire a full set of clothing and bike parts to go with her Shade of Eccria Mask. Can you find the secret merchant?

Bugfixes
Improved cloth simulation, which should improve the performance across the game.
Fixed an issue where the merchant buy & sell screens would sometimes lose functionality, and another issue that made it possible for Sable to sell more items than she owns.
Fixed an issue where Simoon would fall through the world and disappear if the player tries to call for her from a very large distance. Simoon will no longer heed Sable’s call if she’s too far away, but at least she will stay put - better go back and get her! You can also reset Simoon's position at any time by fast traveling to another location using the Map.
Moved Simoon’s map marker below Sable’s map marker, so you can now see in which direction you’re heading.

The player can now exit the Navigator with Esc as an option to Backspace.
Fixed an issue where the player could not select an unstarted quest with the mouse.

Improved the SFX for when Sable is prompted to sprint repeatedly.
