Date: 30/12/2019
Changes:
1. Added a mission system that will give you random missions when you enter a level, these will be shown on the whiteboard of the Truck. For now there are only 3 missions whilst I test it out.

3. Added a reward and failure screen to the main menu when you exit a level.
4. Added a Phone on the desk in the Truck which will exit the level after 5 seconds once you click it. The model is temporary so at the moment it just changes colour to indicate that you've clicked it. All players must be in the Truck to leave the level.

Known issues
1. The Asylum level won't let you move the camera properly.
2. You can't open the Journal with VR (please play PC only for now)
3. The Ghost doesn't make any noise
