(I just wanted to make the game description more clean and more informative about the plot because it was just about the fact that there's a plot and noodles and good music. Also, there's a trivia part, so I can put random info in it.)
(Update first 2 issues as HW depth has been enabled by default for a while now. Add an additional issue to address the black box in the top left.)
