UNDERWARD changes
※ You cannot match with players using a different version. Please update to the latest version (v1.1.0.2 shown in the bottom left of the title screen) before playing.
Update Details for v1.1.0.2
■ SUBJECT Library Feature Added
You can now access detailed information, flavor text, retrieval count, and retrieval rate for collected «TEST-SUBJECT» from the title screen after this update.
With this addition, the names and point values of undiscovered (unregistered) «TEST-SUBJECT» are now hidden. This provides a new thrill of uncertainty—whether you’ve collected enough points—and the joy of discovering the unknown.
※ Whether a SUBJECT’s details are hidden depends on the viewer’s own encyclopedia progress.
■ Outfit: Aura Equipment Feature Added
A new “Aura” customization slot has been added for investigators. Separate from the uniform design, players can now equip visual effects that surround the body. Some auras unlock based on player rank, while others are available through the new DLC described below.
