Shelves and Sorcery Update Adds Item Recovery and Controller Fixes

Shelves and Sorcery addresses missing items with a new pause menu recovery tool, improves controller responsiveness, and lowers audio volume in The Merchant's Rest.

The latest patch for Shelves and Sorcery introduces quality-of-life tools to retrieve lost items and refines joystick movement controls.

Controller and Audio Updates

Left joystick movement has been recalibrated to deliver smoother and more responsive navigation by removing previous full-axis movement constraints. Audio mixing has also been adjusted, significantly lowering the ambient water volume in The Merchant's Rest.

Item Recovery and General Fixes

A new Recover Items option has been added to the pause menu to locate, elevate, and highlight items that fall through the floor or become stuck. The update also addresses incorrect level of detail models, collision bugs, and general performance issues across shops.

Why this patch matters

Essential safety nets like the item recovery tool solve frustrating progression bugs while controller tweaks make navigation feel much sharper.
