New & Reworked

  • New Story Quest — Scaevola's story is now open. Follow her journey to find the hope that will revive her homeland, featuring a new coral-tending minigame.
  • Scaevola Ultimate Renamed — "Shell Light of Hope" becomes "Coral Light of Hope," matching her story across all languages.
  • Boss Clear Lines Overhauled — Every character's post-boss remark has been rewritten for all chapters, in all languages.
  • Large-Scale Dialogue Polish — We reviewed over 1,400 dialogue entries across all nine characters, fixing awkward phrasing and lines that didn't match the scene. We also restored missing translations where character-specific lines fell back to generic text — now every character speaks in their own voice in every language.

Improvements

  • Reworked the ending presentation and polished the closing scenes.
  • Narration bands and speech bubbles now widen to fit the text — no more clipping in languages with longer sentences.
  • Final boss battle tips are now character-specific and fully localized.
  • Removed slipping on moving platforms — stationary slippery terrain is unchanged.
  • Tidied the shrine decorations and refined the Chapter 6 boss's weak-point timing.
  • The codex can now be browsed with PageUp/PageDown.
  • Refined Blueberry's full-body illustration.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the golden ornament frame lingering on screen after offering a fragment at the shrine.
  • Fixed guidance text that described controls differently from how they actually work.
  • Corrected situational and factual errors in some dialogue, along with typos.
