"Listening to the Moonlight: A Feedback-Driven Update"

Hello, friends!

First of all, the entire team at the studio wants to extend a massive thank you to everyone who participated in our recent demo or playtest for the Prologue and Chapter 1. We’ve been meticulously reviewing your feedback—from those who loved the atmospheric vibes to those who shared their struggles of getting "stuck".

This update focuses heavily on community-driven refinements. Following our recent playtest, we have prioritized "polishing" the core gameplay experience to ensure that exploration feels fluid and the world of Elixir of Moonglow remains intuitive and immersive for all players.
