This update focuses on improving the early-game experience, expanding the world, and making some of SELINI's hidden story elements available much earlier in the journey.

New Story & Lore

• Added a new Comic Pages menu tab that can be unlocked through exploration. Collect comic pages scattered throughout SELINI to uncover more of the world's hidden story.

Visuals & Audio
