[Improvements]

  • Chapter 3 "The Peak": Completely renewed! It is practically a brand new chapter.

  • Chapter 5 "The Celestial Gates": Improved gameplay flow by removing the AD Reversal gimmick in the early section.

  • Chapter Balance & Sync: Improved monster sync and timing in Chapter 4, E1, and E2. Also improved the start timing sync of all in-game BGMs.

  • Gameplay Mechanics: The PERFECT judgment timing window has been tightened for better accuracy, and the score calculation logic has been slightly adjusted.

  • Stage Scene Controls: Added full keyboard control. You can now select chapters using the Up/Down arrows (and W/S), and press the Right arrow (or D), Enter, or Space to Ready/Start.

  • Help Menu Update: Along with the key guide, we added instructions to the Help menu clarifying that you can click the Prayer Beads to navigate between Acts.

  • Quick Restart: Press the 'Space' bar on the Game Over or Chapter Clear screen to return to the Stage Scene, or press 'F5' for an instant restart without opening the ESC menu.

  • New Animations: Added a returning animation for the AD Reversal gimmick and an attacked sprite for Dark Spirits in E2.

  • Improved Resolutions: Improved the resolution of the Game Logo, Prayer Beads, and Prologue images.

  • Modified Assets: Modified the background in the E1 "Winter Celebration" event stage and the moving hand images in Chapter 7.

  • SFX Update: Added a first-hit sound effect for Knockback monsters, along with various other SFX. A new toy has been added to the Stage Scene!

  • Text UI: Language-specific text UI improvements have been made, including better line breaks, nameplates, and the UI text that appears when entering a new Act for both the Stage Scene and in-game.

[Bug Fixes]

  • Gameplay: Fixed an issue where inputting a key before the countdown finishes would incorrectly trigger a "Miss".

  • WASD Sorting: Fixed an issue where WASD Dark Spirits were not properly sorted by direction.

  • Shadow Wraiths: Fixed a bug where Shadow Wraiths would instantly die and trigger a sound effect upon entering the Game Scene.

  • Stage Scene Death Bug: Fixed a bug where mashing WASD after returning to the Stage Scene from the Game Scene would cause the player to die.

  • UI/Visuals: Fixed an issue where the Practice Mode checkbox would appear when clicking a locked chapter. Fixed a bug where the game's color saturation would drop significantly upon restarting.

  • Text Rendering: Fixed an issue where Chinese characters would appear broken on the Game Over screen when playing in Korean.

  • Prayer Beads Zoom Animation (Windowed Mode): Fixed an issue where clicking the Prayer Beads caused the camera to zoom into an incorrect location.
