  • Made improvements to the general story dialogue in levels 1, 2 & 5.

Environmental Updates

  • In Level 1, Ewharia, added a day/night cycle and random weather effects that change dynamically during gameplay. If the game is restarted in Ewharia, the weather could randomly change to a different season.

  • In Level 1, Ewharia, added raindrop & snow effects to the screen. This effect can occur particularly when it's raining or snowing, and the particles hit the camera lens at the right angle.

  • In level 4, Cathuybia, added raindrop effects to the screen. This effect can occur particularly when it's raining, and the particles hit the camera lens at the right angle.

  • Updated the Vribyss Starfish in all levels so that it no longer resembles an "orange spikey ball."Now, it looks like a starfish and has "a bright red glow" to provide consistency with what the "Story" button describes in the menus.

  • In response to player feedback, all excess boxes have been removed from areas where boxes are required to be moved around to progress the game. This update makes pushing boxes in these parts of the game more straightforward.
