Update Details for 1.0.3.0

Major Feature Additions

Reconnection Feature (Experimental)


- Players who unexpectedly leave the game can now reconnect from the title screen.
→ Due to strong demand, we have implemented this feature quickly, but since some instability remains, it is currently an experimental function. We appreciate your understanding.
→ If the host disconnects, the room will be disbanded, making reconnection impossible. If possible, please ensure that the host is in a stable network and performance environment.

Start Floor Selection Added


- Hosts can now select specific start floors in the lobby.
→ After this update, reaching certain floors will unlock this feature. (Selectable floors include the standard floors 1-5 and floors after clearing 6, 12, and 18.)
→ Items will not be carried over or supplied when starting from a middle floor.

Clear Time Display in Results


- Allows for casual time-attack play.
→ Time is measured from when the elevator doors open until SUCCESS is displayed.

More Detailed Graphics Settings


- Individual settings for various graphical elements have been added (Quality presets are still available for batch changes).

Motion Blur ON/OFF Setting Added


- Motion blur can now be disabled to prevent motion sickness.

Level Design Adjustments

Floors Beyond 13 Become "Sealed Areas"


- Difficulty has significantly increased for floors beyond 13 to provide a greater challenge for dedicated players.
→ Enemies appearing in these floors are significantly stronger, with more random placements and spawning patterns.
→ Floor obstacles are also now randomized.
→ The difficulty of starting from floor 13 is extremely high.

*With this update, the floors are categorized as follows:*
- Floors 1-6: "Standard Area"
- Floors 7-12: "Dangerous Area"

Known Issues

- Game fails to launch, showing memory shortage errors
→ Please check that your PC meets the minimum specifications listed on the store page.
