Ghost Hunter Vena -v1.10a- -vosmug-
The big question looming over the community: Is this a patch, a sequel hook, or a farewell?
The "-v1.10a-" nomenclature suggests minor revision. However, the magnitude of changes suggests a full rebrand.

The patch notes (cryptic as they are) instruct: "When the mug seeks the vos, close your eyes and press F9 three times." This triggers a "blind escape" sequence where you hear Vena’s heartbeat while the ghost’s voice asks you personal questions (scraped from your social media? Possibly).
The most popular theory suggests "Vosmug" is an anagram. Rearranging the letters yields:
