This mode was already included in the freeware version, which preceded the Steam version, and was widely anticipated in the Steam edition, but it has finally been incorporated in the beta version. Users who own the same work can play “Adventure Mode” by right-clicking it in their Steam library, then choosing “Properties” → “Beta” and “beta – Public beta branch”.
