At this stage, all core content is complete and locked. The remaining time before release is allocated for minor dialogue refinement and final consistency checks. No new scenes, systems, or features are being added.

Chapter 1 is neither a preview nor a prototype. It is designed as a complete entry point into the world of Special Request, with long-term narrative consequences already established.

There will be no countdown posts or launch hype. Any additional dev logs before release will be limited to practical notes, if necessary.

Thank you to everyone who has followed or wishlisted the project. Your interest made it possible to take the time needed to release this chapter properly.
