The launch during Steam Next Fest has gone really well so far.

From a technical standpoint, things have been quite stable — no major blockers were found, and most players have been able to play without issues.

Of course there are still bugs since this is a demo and an early version, but so far they’ve been minor and non-blocking — mostly small quality-of-life or UX improvements.

I’ve also been going through your feedback and starting to apply improvements where possible.

Patch Notes (Small Update)

  • Main Menu Fix Fixed an issue affecting a small number of players (around ~10) that could prevent them from playing. The main menu has been simplified to ensure everyone can access the game properly.

  • Quest Clarity Improvement Improved the objective clarity for a quest some players found confusing (commonly referred to as the “ring quest”).

Known Issues

  • AZERTY Keyboard Layout Key remapping is not implemented yet, which may cause issues for AZERTY users. A temporary workaround is to switch your Windows keyboard layout to QWERTY while playing. Full key remapping is planned for Early Access.

  • Startup Crashes (Rare)

    I’ve detected a very small number of crashes (around 2–3) likely related to outdated GPU drivers.

    If you experienced a crash when launching the game, please make sure your drivers are up to date and that the latest patch has been applied.

I’m really happy with how things are going so far, and I want to make sure everyone can play without getting blocked — that’s the priority right now.

If you’re enjoying the demo, don’t forget to wishlist and follow the game — it really helps support the project. And if you’d like to help shape the game:

  • Join the Discord to share feedback and report issues

  • Or use the Steam Community discussions — I’m actively reading everything

I’m also planning to do some livestreams with Q&A soon, but feel free to leave your questions here as well.

Thanks again for playing, and see you in Notmads!
