Hey Legends,
A major update is coming to Fading Echo Demo, focused on one thing: clarity.
Clearer status effects. Clearer enemy tells. Clearer UI. Better feel.
Also. We heard you. No more movement lock in dialogue. Keep moving. Keep flowing.
🔥 TL;DR
Burning is less punishing
Fights are easier to read: updated attack signs + improved combat HUD
Jump + Push attacks reworked to better match One’s height
Exploration upgrades: chest counters in the Bastion + improved portal visuals
Tutorial is cleaner + slightly easier (less blah blah, more flow)

🐛 Known issues
Localization
A few words/sentences are not translated yet
Combat
If you kick an entity before its attack animation, you can push it very far (too far, honestly)
Difficulty
When creating a new game, difficulty can display the last chosen setting even though the game is actually set to Campaign difficulty
Save
Using “Load Last Checkpoint” during loading can cause save file issues
Cutscenes
The 2nd cutscene can be out of sync with the voice over (the audio is early. the visuals are… catching up).
We’ve got more updates on the way, and we’ll keep shipping them as they’re ready!
