A clumsy black cat
This game is a story of choices and destiny that I couldn't tell my late mother.

I wasn't a good daughter, so I couldn't say the words. To embrace the memories of those choices I couldn't make, I challenged myself to develop this game.


In this update, we have implemented fundamental fixes for scene transition instability and technical conflicts during character switching, which were the primary causes of progression loss (soft locks). We sincerely apologize from the bottom of our hearts for any disruption to your immersion in the story.

Sorry Deep Sorry

Sincerely,

Apologies.

In this patch, we have completely fixed a critical freezing issue that occurred during scene transitions and character switching in order to maintain immersion in the story.

Patch Details

1. Stabilization of Scene Transitions & Saves

Implementation of Auto-Save Between Chapters

Mandatory auto-saves now trigger at the beginning and transition of every chapter (from Prologue to Chapter 4). This ensures that even in the event of an unexpected freeze or interruption, you can resume immediately from the start of the most recent chapter.

2. Fix for Chapter 2.5 → 3 Transition Blackouts

We have thoroughly reinforced the resetting of internal flags (such as isTransitioning) at the start of the scene. This resolves the issue where the screen would remain black and unresponsive.

3. Prevention of Freezes During Character Switching

Enhanced Cleanup Processing

We have eliminated the duplication of DOM elements (UI components) that occurred when switching between characters like "Kagari" and "Homura." This prevents memory leaks and input conflicts.

4. Improved Save Slot Visibility

Save data now displays identification badges: "🔥 Kagari" or "🔥 Ember."
You can now identify which character's route is saved at a single glance.

5. Localization Fixes

Multilingual Support for Route Closure Notifications

The "A Path of Fate Has Closed" notification, which appears upon failing certain choices, has been corrected to display properly according to your language settings.

💌 To Our Players

As a 56-year-old indie developer, I have been building the world of "KAGARIBI" one step at a time. While I may at times be clumsy in my technical execution and cause you inconvenience, I am committed to facing every error with sincerity to deliver the ultimate narrative experience.

Thank you for your continued support of "KAGARIBI: Kagari & Homura."
