Hello everyone, this is Weiran.

First of all, thank you so much for downloading and playing The Grotto Diary Demo yesterday. I’m also truly grateful to everyone who shared feedback and reported issues through comments, DMs, and the QQ group — it helped me a lot.

Since this is still a testing stage and I’m working with very limited manpower, the Demo unfortunately contained some bugs and gameplay issues. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience! I stayed up overnight to fix and improve the game, and a new updated version is now available.


Patch Notes (Bug Fixes / Improvements)

  • Expanded resolution settings to include a full list of available options

  • Fixed issues related to saving settings

  • Fixed a progress-blocking bug when reading the book

  • Fixed an issue with the Settings “Back” button

  • Increased the interaction detection range for the chopsticks, reducing the chance of getting stuck

  • Fixed several model clipping issues

  • Fixed a bug where paper was not removed after the box disappeared

  • Added a “turn on the light” prompt when entering the cave for the first time

  • Added a prompt regarding whether the player can crouch/stand

  • Fixed an issue where shoes appeared incorrectly during the ritual scene


Once again, thank you all for your support and patience.
I will continue improving the Demo based on your feedback, and please feel free to keep sending me bug reports, stuck points, and even your theories about the story.

I hope The Grotto Diary can gradually become better with everyone’s help.
