changedQ1. What will the demo include? The demo will feature half of the game’s storyline, full voice acting for all character vocal cues, rich world exploration, and character dialogues, but it will not include card battles. PvE card battles involve far more design considerations than we initially imagined! We are working hard to create battles that are truly engaging and that reflect each character’s abilities and personality, rather than simple number-based encounters.
changedQ2. Why has the release date changed to “To be announced”? We need more time to refine the card battle system. Therefore, the original year-end release has been postponed to the winter holiday period of January–February next year. Since Steam currently does not allow setting a specific release window for Q1 2026, we have temporarily marked the release as “To be announced.”
addedQ3. What additional content is expected in the full game compared to the demo? The full game will not only present the entire second half of the story but will also further enhance map ambience and sound design, add more visual content to parts of the world exploration, provide the complete card-battle gameplay, and enrich character development—allowing players to uncover deeper secrets and growth of many characters in the latter half of the narrative.
