Build 12: Goodbye, Astronomer

[Note: as usual android builds always come out sometime later.]

Hey folks. It's time for a Murdoch update. This one's around 11k words, so it's the biggest update I've ever done.  I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. 

Content warning for this update: substance abuse. 

New sprite art from:
-Stauf, who made Holly, Alfred and Dhalia
-Kardamon, who provided some rather spicy ralph edits
-Shtar, who edited cynthia and illustrated gretchen's sprites (not yet implimented in the patreon build)

Backround art by kardamon and photograph illustrations by otterboxed. 
Backgrounds by Kardamon
