Hello Death Relives players,
Since the full release of our game, we've been closely following your feedback. Due to certain issues that prevented some players from progressing, we wanted to share this first patch with you earlier than planned.
This is not a major update. However, since some of the technical issues directly affected gameplay, we wanted to deliver these fixes without delay.
Our goal is to quickly resolve the problems faced by new players—especially those encountered in the early stages—and ensure everyone can enjoy the atmosphere of the game without interruption.
With this first patch:
Progress-blocking bugs have been fixed,
Stability and performance have been improved,
Minor gameplay adjustments have been made based on your feedback.
This is only the beginning. With the upcoming patches, we’ll address remaining technical issues and bring new improvements to enrich your experience even further.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who played the game, reported bugs, shared ideas, and supported us.
