Repeated intro
Hello! We are developers MJ and SH! It has already been three months since the last development update. During this time, we’ve been working hard on the game. We’ll share what has been worked on, and at the end of this post, we’ll share our schedule as well.
What changed
- Gameplay
- Store
- Balance
- UI and audio
Chapter 2 Mini-Boss - Death Worm
The mini-boss appearing in Chapter 2, Death Worm, is a long and massive worm that performs fast charging attacks. This creature can burrow into the ground, making it difficult for the protagonist to avoid attacks. When its body is severed, it splits into two smaller worms and continues attacking, making the battle increasingly complex.
Chapter 2 Main Boss - Excavator
The Chapter 2 boss, Excavator, is a massive machine equipped with two giant saw blades. It's incredibly powerful and durable, so it cannot be defeated with external attacks alone. The player must infiltrate the machine's interior to destroy it, where an unexpected meeting with a special character awaits.
Hot Air Balloon
When a flare is shot, an NPC safety officer from the village arrives in a hot air balloon and takes the protagonist back to the village. The hot air balloon can be used to quickly return to the village and can also be used for a tour around the village.
Wiring System
A new puzzle element using electrical plugs has been added to the game. Players need to plug and unplug the plugs into outlets to solve puzzles. For example, players can use the plugs to rotate fans or activate certain mechanical devices.
Rail System
A new system has been added where players can ride a minecart along rails to move quickly. This system allows players to safely pass through dangerous areas, like lava fields. Players will need to switch the direction of the rails to solve puzzles and continue their exploration.
Platform and Saw Blade Traps
Platforms and dangerous saw blade traps along the rails have also been added. Players can use platforms to explore deeper parts of the dungeon. The saw blade traps are fast and powerful, so players must be cautious.
Bike Improvements
Lighting has been added to support night riding. Various new night content is also being prepared.
Additional Monsters
Various monsters, including saw blade machines and frogs from Chapter 1’s additional area, have been added. Each monster has its own unique traits, and players will need to use the appropriate strategies to defeat them.
Reactive Water System
A realistic water ripple effect has been added for situations like falling into water, boats passing by, or swimming.
Village
Several new buildings have been added to the village, including a shop selling ingredients and an astrologer's house. New NPCs, such as the shopkeeper, fisherman, astrologer, and safety officer, have enriched the village environment.
Cooking System
A new cooking system has been added, allowing players to prepare various dishes based on recipes. Each dish provides special effects, such as health recovery, poison treatment, or even revival after death. However, if the recipe is wrong, a ruined dish will result, and consuming it may cause food poisoning. As players progress, they will learn more recipes.
Lab Area
A new facility has been added near the boss room, where the boss was studied. This area contains various information and materials about the boss, providing crucial insights into its weaknesses. It’s an important location to explore the game's story and lore, and it’s essential for preparing for the boss fight.

- Korean
- English

The Early Access version will include about 50% of the content, covering 3 chapters. The Early Access release has been delayed by one quarter from the original plan.
