Rovi's Diary Demo Update!!!

In this update, Rovi's story takes a major step forward. Thank you all for your continued support. In this version, we focused primarily on story, level feel, and musical atmosphere. If you have already completed Chapter 1, we recommend starting a new session, opening the diary, and experiencing the full rhythm from Chapter 2 onward.

1. Brand New Chapter 2: The Town in Ruins – Reunion with the "Cosmic Eye"

Chapter 2 returns you to the aftermath of Glowworm Town:

• New story levels and cutscenes – from the smoldering streets and spatial anomalies to the Cosmic Eye's return, and the confrontation and choices between Starlight, Rovi, and others. The narrative is tighter and more oppressive than Chapter 1.

• Key characters and turning points – memories of Rovi and her mother, the revelation of the Starlight Princess identity, the transformation and bestowal of power – key moments now have fuller framing and dialogue pacing.

• Boss battle spectacle upgrades – the Cosmic Eye's entrance, sweeping beams, phase changes – enhanced with dedicated visuals and sound design.

• Side content and easter eggs – including a new EX level and hidden scenes.

1. Difficulty and Level Selection Optimization

Diary-based level selection is clearer: the tutorial now includes movement, level entry, page turning, and using the cancel key to close the diary. Keybinds automatically display based on your settings. Overall level difficulty has been lowered.

1. Story Presentation Enhanced

New version features richer cutscenes:

• Camera and fade-outs – key transformations, close-ups on Rovi, the Cosmic Eye's appearance, and Starry Night scenes now have hidden UI, camera pushes, and adjusted timing.

• Dialogue and character portraits – fixed issues where portraits were incorrectly hidden or dialogue didn't match. Dialogue at the end of Chapter 1 and the transition to Chapter 2 has been polished.

• Sound effects and BGM transitions – for example, the background music now fades before the Cosmic Eye appears, letting SFX and the next track take over.

If you're a story-driven player, don't miss this.

1. Background Music Overhaul

The entire chapter's score has been reworked:

• Chapter 1 finale – key decision and pre-battle music replaced with more "resolute" tracks that better match the emotion.

• Throughout Chapter 2 – crisis, Starry Night, wind, travel – different scenes now use more fitting BGM, with crossfades and timing adjustments to reduce abruptness or overlap.

• Room and level select – everyday areas like Rovi's room and the diary now have more appropriate music, distinct from the tension of the levels.

• Character themes – three new character themes added:

  • Rovi – Starlight and the Unfinished Poem (used in 1-Boss)

  • Faye – Ethereal Fantasy (used in 1-3 latter half, 1-4, and 1-EX latter half)

  • Starry Night – Tirano Elegy (used in 2-1)

Final Note

Chapter 2 is the true beginning of the main story – and its timeline takes place before Chapter 1 (Wait, what? The events of Chapter 2 happen before Chapter 1??). Rovi's adventure will begin here.
