Story scenes across all chapters have been rewritten for stronger character moments, challenge mode no longer hangs when offline, and audio defaults are quieter out of the box.
Story & dialogue:
- Chapter 1 Stage 8: Nadeshiko openly questions Erika's decision to follow Drona, adding real friction to the team dynamic.
- Chapter 1 Stage 10: Maria and Nadeshiko now affirm their commitment before the finale, giving the demo's closing beat more room to land.
- Chapter 2 Stage 4: Katyusha notices a deliberately severed maintenance catwalk - the first hard evidence that Drona engineered the team's exposure.
- Chapter 3 Stage 1: Katyusha acknowledges how far the team has strayed from any marked route back, reinforcing the chapter's isolation.
- Japanese and German cutscene translations updated across Chapters 1-5 to match the revised English text.
Bug fixes:
- Challenge mode now falls back to offline mode when the leaderboard server is unreachable, instead of hanging or softlocking.
- Player name modal can no longer get stuck if dismissed without submitting a name.
- Leaderboard client enters offline mode on first network failure instead of retrying indefinitely, preventing session-wide freezes.
- Leaderboard requests now continue to time out correctly even when a modal or pause menu is open over the scene.
Other:
- Lowered default music and SFX volume levels.
- Updated to Godot 4.7.
- Android target updated to API level 36.
