Why does the character keep saying she "trailed off into a daydream"?

That is the developers' deliberate placeholder for the AI backend being unavailable or unstable, not a broken save. V0.9.2.2 added a failover between backends plus a server-status indicator on the Main Menu, in the Atrium ESC menu, and as an in-game banner.

What did the latest patch fix?

V1.0.2 (August 19, 2026) corrected the Anomaly Collection achievement trigger and the Phone Booth unlock, stopped Overseer unlocking too early, and cleaned up a few visual issues across Level 1, Level 2 and the Final Level.
