The ENDLESS BACKGATE - THE FINAL DEMO (v0.2.0a) Update

First, we apologize for not being able to release the game by last December. Ahead of the official launch, we have updated the final demo. This version is the closest to the release build and is playable up to Day 3.

▶ Remnants

• The official term for anomalies is now"Remnant".

• All anomalies will be referred to as Remnants moving forward.

• Improved readability of the Manual.

• Important parts are now emphasized with underlines.

• The Manual UI has been updated.

• The ID for the"Entity"list in the Manual has been changed from'G'to'E'.

• During the Training Day, Remnants will only appear from 3 doors.

• After the Training Day, your Scanner will appear, and Remnants will start appearing from all 5 doors.

• Effects for certain Remnants have been adjusted.

▶ Items

• "Data Fragment"(which gave 7 coins) has been removed.

• It was removed because its appearance felt too disconnected from the concept of a "coin".

• It has been replaced by the"Blue Coin,"which grants 3 coins upon acquisition.

• Item icons have been updated.

• The existing item"Encroached Terror"is now upgradeable.

• When upgraded, its effect is: "Immediately remove the appeared Remnant and duplicate this item".

• The effect of"Liquid Oxygen"has been changed.

• "Adds 30% oxygen to everyone upon use".

• When upgraded: "Adds 50% oxygen to everyone upon use".

• The effect of"Longing"has been changed.

• "Obtain one random item upon recovering a missing poster".

• 7 new items have been added.

• Item orbs can no longer be purchased from the Node Collector.

▶ Scanner V.E.I.L.

• A Scanner Item Slot has been added.

• If you acquire an item while your inventory is full, it will move to the Partner Item Slot.

• If your main inventory is empty, you will automatically equip the item from the Partner Item Slot.

• Items in the Partner Item Slot cannot be used or upgraded.

• V.E.I.L. can store up to 2 items.

• When an item is used from the player slot, the item in the Scanner's slot will automatically move to the player slot.

• If the Scanner perishes, all items in its slots will disappear.

• The Partner's scan path is now fixed.

• Instead of moving randomly, if the center door is 3, it will follow the sequence: 3 -> 2 -> 4 -> 5 -> 1.

• If the player attempts to open a door before it is scanned, V.E.I.L. will skip that door and move to the next one.

• The Command List UI has been updated.

• Instead of pressing Ctrl, the menu now activates when the cursor is hovered over the UI.

▶ UI

• The cursor icon has been updated.

• The Settings UI has been updated.

• A"Return to Main Menu"button has been added to the Lobby.

• You can now return to the main menu directly from the lobby.

• A Global Ranking system has been added. It displays the top 10 players based on the highest scores achieved at the end of a day.

• When replacing an oxygen tank, it now indicates whose tank is being replaced.

▶ Miscellaneous

• Background music (BGM) for the main game has been added.

• The Training Day has been added.

• This is a tutorial day where you learn about doors, Remnants, and missing posters; you must collect 5 posters to clear it.

• The save path for total statistics has changed.

• As a result, all previous statistics will be reset. We ask for your kind understanding.

• Developer features have been added.

• Press F1 to check FPS and F2 to toggle the UI on/off.
