Update to Version 0.2026.01

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I wish you a happy New Year. I haven’t been idle these past few weeks, and I really appreciated all your feedback. It’s time for me to post the first update for my game. Since the initial demo version didn’t have a version number, I’m starting with this update.

Thanks to your feedback, the list of changes is quite long:

• New forest and meadow ambient sounds

• Adjusted 3D sound playback based on the player’s position

• Improved geometry calculations

• Ares now has a light cone in front of him, making dark areas easier to see

• Added a ladder on the inside of the checkpoint to prevent softlocks

• Optimized light sources

• Improved render quality

• Added a note about shader compiling to the loading screen

• Adjusted the options menu (removed “Fullscreen Window”)

• Fixed an issue with changing screen resolution

• Fixed shadow flickering at 720p and 4K resolutions

• Fixed grass texture flickering

• Slightly adjusted vegetation colors

• Optimized materials (vegetation, glass, water, roads, dirt paths)

• Removed AMD FSR until certain visual issues are resolved; in return, the “Render Quality” setting now has more impact

• Reworked the hotel puzzle to make it easier to understand

• Improved Fina’s pathfinding and added new navigation data

• Fixed several issues where Fina refused to walk through doors

• If Fina loses track of the player, she now tends to teleport behind the player rather than blocking the way

• Overhauled the save system, making it more robust

Due to the updated save system, your old save files are no longer compatible. Loading them may cause in‑game errors.

Have a great time and take care!

Until then,
