Demo Version Notice and Known Issues

First of all, we sincerely apologize for misunderstanding the Steam Next Fest schedule, which left us with insufficient time to fully prepare the demo. As a result, this demo version will be released while still having many incomplete areas.

We are truly sorry that we are unable to show a more polished version to everyone who has been waiting. During play, some features may be disabled, and certain UI or progression-related issues may occur.

The main known issues are as follows:

• If you fail the pipe game, progression may become blocked, and on the following day you may be unable to obtain the keyword required for the feature article.

  • If this issue occurs, please press [c]Ctrl + Shift + F1[/c] to return to the previous day, then play the pipe game again.

• In the interview minigame, pressing the skip button may sometimes make the game appear to stop progressing. In this case, pressing the skip button once more will allow it to continue.

• Story or text shown before minigames or reporting sequences may be skipped in large amounts.

• Some pop-ups may occasionally fail to disappear properly.

• Clicking may still be possible during loading screens, which can cause unintended inputs.

• The dice-rolling UI or the dice itself may disappear in certain situations.

• The background may suddenly change on the TRPG screen.

• Interview backgrounds may keep changing depending on the current speaker.

• The skip button UI may appear in either English or Korean depending on the situation.

• Difficulty level may not be displayed correctly.

• Stress-related features are currently disabled.

• Reporter stress values may not appear on the reporter management screen.

• Reporter EXP and level features are currently disabled.

• Occupations may not appear in reader reactions for feature articles.

• Many lines remain untranslated when switching to English.

After the demo release, we plan to prioritize updates for the following areas:

• Feature articles will be displayed separately on the news report screen.

• The result screen shown after publishing a news report will be improved.

• Currently, results mainly show subscriber increases, but future updates will also display changes in trust and censorship.

• The balance between feature articles and news reports will be adjusted, including rewards, difficulty, pacing, and the value of choices.

• The top UI shown while writing feature articles will be renewed so that changing values and result-related stats are clearer.

• A feature to delete already-read mail will be added.

• Reporter EXP and level features will be reintroduced after their balance and display method are revised.

• Stress features will also be reintroduced after we refine how they are shown in the UI and how they affect gameplay.

• Missing localization, including untranslated English text, will continue to be fixed.

This demo is still not as complete as we would like, and you may experience inconvenience while playing. Once again, we sincerely apologize.

However, after release, we will continue fixing confirmed bugs and improving the areas that are still lacking. We will also keep improving the game’s content and systems through ongoing updates.

Thank you sincerely to everyone who has waited for and shown interest in the game.
