Sorry for not being able to update the notice! A lot of things happened while I was issuing this notice.

  1. Developer pregnancy and childbirth This is the main cause! I was in the middle of development towards my release goal, but work stopped due to poor health due to morning sickness. It took more than half a year to restart, and after giving birth, it was very difficult to take care of the child. As soon as the trial version update is completed, I will return to writing the game scenario.

  2. Additional implementation of Tips function Knight Case Files has a very elaborate worldview, and there are over 10 characters, including some who only have names. We implemented this to allow players to immerse themselves in the story. This required development funds...

There are other big announcements, but we will let you know as soon as they are available. Please wait for the update!
