· A redesigned tutorial

· A difficulty system (one Easy mode and multiple Challenge modes), with the default difficulty slightly lowered

· An optimized combat system, where some enemies can now be defeated

· Redesigned music and fully optimized sound effects

· A character color-changing feature and new character interactions

· Optimized rule layout, along with random rule fragments to be discovered

· A new level selection interface and a feature to restart the game

The game will be showcased with this demo at the NextFest in June, while the full version is currently in development and expected to launch by the end of the year. The demo version will remain playable until the official release. If you enjoy the game, please don’t forget to add it to your wishlist!
