Demo Ver. Bug Fix 0.23

1. The clock has been removed and replaced with scissors.

We felt the clock mechanic did not fit the progression of the game, so it has been replaced with scissors.

The wrong-answer penalty has also been adjusted.

Previously, each wrong answer would immediately send the player to "Limbo." Now, players will only fall into Limbo after 3 wrong answers.

2. Revisited dreams now contain small changes.

When replaying a dream you've already experienced, some dialogue and artwork may appear differently.

In dreams with lengthy conversations before choices appear, certain sections can now be skipped.

Future dreams will also be designed in a similar direction.

3. Additional event effects and scene improvements have been added.

4. The early-game structure has been reorganized.

Like the original demo version, the game now encourages progression in the following order:

Penguin Story → Prologue → Spaceship → Exploration

Additional dialogue has also been added when certain locations become available, in order to make the intended progression feel more natural.

5. The Mountain Giant battle flow has been adjusted.

Escaping from the early Mountain Giant battle will no longer result in a game over.

Instead, another giant battle will begin afterward.

Planned Features for the Next Patch

  1. Item vending machine on the spaceship will become usable (Consumes Dream Bugs)

  2. Improving the exploration section to make it more engaging and polished

Thank you sincerely to everyone who left reviews and warm support.

As always, thank you so much!
