That’s how difficult it is. But it’s such a fun stage that you’ll want to keep trying it over and over again. (It was well-received at the event, too.)

Hi, I’m Buri, the developer!

In preparation for the Steam Next Fest, we’ve released two major updates for the demo!

Let me tell you all about them

1. Added a high-difficulty stage with an 8.3% completion rate

I’ve added a new challenge stage.

At the indie game event “Tokyo Game Dungeon 12,” out of 24 attempts, only two players managed to clear it. That’s how difficult it is. But it’s such a fun stage that you’ll want to keep trying it over and over again. (It was well-received at the event, too.)

If you find the regular stages a bit too easy, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

2. Petting Asha ♡

Up until now, whenever you failed a game, you had to pierce Asha’s ear with a needle.

It really breaks your heart and is so painful to see her wince because of something you did, isn’t it...

But with this update, you can now pet Asha on the head!!!

Does this seem like a minor update? No, it brings a major change to the [heart]!

Reassure Asha, who’s afraid of getting her ears pierced, with your own hands, and then go ahead and pierce her ears. Once you’re done, it would be nice to comfort her for putting up with the pain.

Those are the main changes.

If you clear the Challenge Stage, post about it on X and show everyone!

As far as the demo goes, this will likely be the final update, barring any major bug fixes.

From here on out, we’ll be focusing all our efforts on developing the full version!

Buri
