New & Reworked

  • 8 New Achievements — perfect-run challenges for the minigames and new collection goals have been added. Check them as pearl medals in the achievements list on the stats screen.
  • 3-Hit Combos Expanded — Patsyae, Strawberry, and Scaevola now fight with their own 3-hit combos. Patsyae finishes with a diagonal smash, Strawberry with a double-claw thrust, and Scaevola with a shield push, each with hit effects in their own colors.
  • Boss Empowerment Display — you can now see the moment a boss powers up. ⚔ and 🛡 icons appear above its head, with a tip at the bottom of the screen showing the stage and numbers.
  • Final Battle of the Abyss Reworked — damage now only lands while the boss bares its core. The chip damage against a closed core is gone, but an open core takes full punishment — the rhythm of surviving a pattern and seizing the counterattack window is sharper than ever.

Improvements

  • The sea on the left side of Sora Village now follows the sky — dawn, midday, sunset, and night each tint the water to match, with a gentle transition as time shifts.
  • The language settings now show all languages at once in two columns, no scrolling needed — move between columns with the left/right keys.
  • Story dialogue paging was tidied across all characters — about 50 short page breaks now flow together naturally, while pauses meant for silence or lingering moments were kept as they were.
  • The fragment list at the shrine now sits closer to the sealing stone, so your eyes wander less while choosing a fragment.
  • Aura's name in dialogue now carries a thin outline, keeping it crisp against bright backgrounds.
  • The game icon has been refreshed with new art.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the character being launched into the air in the Origin Abyss when standing on an enemy spawn point as it emerged — enemies now appear clear of the character.
