ES2: Launch Hotfix #3

Hey escapers!

We’ve just released a new hotfix update for Escape Simulator 2. This one brings a cozy upgrade to the lobby (cookies, tea, and a working gramophone), expands the Room Editor with new assets, and includes more than 100 fixes and improvements across all rooms! Thank you all for reporting and helping us! One note: Saves in Space 2, Pirate 4 and Dracula 3 might be deleted after this update. We’re super sorry if that happened to you! :(

We already have 96% positive reviews! If you’re enjoying the game so far, a quick Steam review would mean a lot.💖
