Today’s update and notice were a little later than usual because there were many issues to fix. Thank you for waiting, and we are continuing to review and address the issues reported by players.

Changes and additions in this update:

  • Implemented the game over system.

  • Game over will now occur under the following conditions:

    • Censorship risk reaches 0.

    • Censorship risk reaches 100.

    • There are no reporters available for reporting.

    • Trust reaches 0.

  • Reporter stress events will now occur when a reporter’s stress reaches the threshold.

  • Adjusted the difficulty of morning reporting.

  • Added difficulty display for morning reporting.

  • Fixed several issues related to scenario files.

Remaining or still-under-review known issues:

  • After Day 10, some reporter options may not appear in the morning reporting selection screen.

  • A report was received that keywords may not appear at all during article writing on Day 13. It appears to be fixed, but we are continuing to monitor it because we have not been able to reproduce it internally.

  • The pipe minigame on the afternoon of Day 24 may be cleared immediately upon entering.

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

  • After the first trial, two character images may appear during the conversation scene at the newspaper office.

  • Reporter stress balance still needs adjustment.

  • The newspaper office may not expand according to subscriber count.

  • The overall difficulty and reward balance of dice games needs adjustment.

  • Some untranslated text may still remain when switching to English.

Some of these issues are difficult to reproduce internally. If you encounter them, sharing the in-game day and your progress situation would be very helpful for fixing them.

We will continue fixing the remaining issues in future updates, prioritizing progression-blocking bugs and major system issues.

Thank you for continuing to play the demo and send us your feedback. We will keep updating the game to provide a better experience.
