PLAYTEST

As always, thank you for your patience and support. I had intended to release the PLAYTEST during this summer, but it simply wasn't possible. In this version of the game, I want you to be able to test all the new systems and mechanics that will be included in beta version 0.5. (Note: Many events have been removed to streamline the testing process, as this test focuses only on mechanics.) I hope…

"The Mine" is the map that will replace "The Cave" and serve as the main HUD for the other stages. Although the cave is still mentioned in a lot of the dialogue, I wasn't able to edit those lines anymore. The new dynamic lighting system has been added, which improves immersion and looks awesome. For now, this new area will also feature 5 secret sections with upgrades and secrets for the charact…

Thanks to all my Patreons for everything. Without your support and patience, this project could not continue. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much. Now this will be the main map that will serve as a hub linking all the events and other scenarios.

There haven't been any updates this year because I'm preparing the game to transition from Alpha to Beta, which will bring many changes. For now, I'll publish this ROADMAP with a simp…

Early Update

Well this is an update for Patreons, it's a little taste of day 4 in-game. It is an advance since there are still many new elements that I am preparing or that are still half-finished and I preferred not to include them for this reason. One of them and the most notorious is the option to look at the CG of the game from the initial menu. (I forgot to deactivate this menu that is not ready yet, l…

I had originally intended it as a standalone event, but the theme and connection to the story of day 4 made me include it. It could be said that it is an advance.
