Here's the new gameplay update which revolves around masks' mobility.
v0.12 adds an additional attribute to masks called Movement Type which affects some masks mobility possibilities.

Perhaps in future updates, this game mechanics will be given much more attention.
Also, some masks have undergone minor changes.
In addition, a small number of new items have been added to the game.

Additional levels are still in development, but surprises can be expected in the next updates.

Among other things, an official wiki page was created for the game, which, although still in development, already describes in detail the game mechanics and gives recommendations for playthrough.
