What's New in Hollowfield Institute
1.0.5
October 2, 2026
Every photograph you file now carries the Institute's filing slug: the file number, where it was taken, and the date. Shared photographs are documents again rather than anonymous pictures. Creatures added to the catalogue since you installed now open with files already on record, instead of an empty archive. Groundwork for a body plan the guide has never needed before. You will see what it is for in November.
