| DLC has been canceled due to technical challenges, and the future plans. | 2025-03-27 | It has been 2 months since the game's release. I’m sorry to bring you this news, but it’s not entirely bad—please read through to the end. Overview of the Situation: After release, I promised to develop and update free DLC. Over these two months, I’ve worked hard for this goal, facing many difficulties. During this time, I fell ill and still suffer from tinnitus due to stress and exhaustion. Breaking promises and complaining to gain sympathy are terrible behaviors, so despite the hardships, I kept pushing forward. Even yesterday, I was still working on the DLC, hoping to fulfill my commitment. However, due to health issues and, most important |
| 【Japanese fixed】Thanks to the help of Hiroaki Yukinofu！A free DLC coming! | 2025-02-04 | I would like to sincerely thank Hiroaki Yukinofu for his selfless help! He kindly revised all the Japanese translations in my game for free. And he also helped correct a lot of language issues. Thanks to him, the in-game text is now completely accurate and aligns with Japanese language conventions. Without his assistance, this would not have been possible. Previously, even though I used AI to translate sentence by sentence, the Japanese parts were still poorly done. Some say that translation is the industry most easily replaced by AI, but at this point, I believe that is impossible. This is because, for someone who doesn’t understand the lang |
| 【1.5 Japanese Optimization】The Japanese version has been Fixed line by line!!! | 2025-01-27 | What completely took me by surprise was that the Japanese version of the translation was extremely, extremely poor. The original translation quality was bad, but since I don’t understand Japanese, I didn’t notice the issues. As a result, I received some negative reviews in Japanese, and I am very concerned about this. The poor translation quality was not intentional on my part. It’s just that I set up 10 languages for the game and had to handle all the translation work alone. So the workload was disastrously huge, far beyond what one person could handle. I thought that even if machine translation results were a bit odd, they would still be un |
| 【Gameplay Optimization】After revival, No need to walk through a long corridor. | 2025-01-27 | The respawn location has been updated. Now, after revival, the player will respawn near the Gacha machine and the black cat instead of at the beginning of the train car. No more walking through long train cars. Failing a challenge is already frustrating, and the combination of slow movement and long train car passages could make the experience tedious. Thanks to player feedback, we have optimized this part of the experience. |
| 【1.4version】Add a black screen detection mechanism \ Achievement [never give up] | 2025-01-27 | 1.【Black Screen】 The issue still occurs. Since I cannot fully reproduce this bug, it is difficult to address it specifically. Yesterday, it seemed like the problem was fixed, but after the Chinese version no longer experienced the black screen, the English version started having it. Later, the 1.31 update brought the bug back to the Chinese version. The mechanism behind the bug is clear: When starting a new game, the system detects the player's language and begins the game accordingly. However, if the player starts a new game without switching the language first, the system fails to detect the language and enters a pseudo-crash state. A new d |
| Version 1.3 is here with a brand-new tutorial level!!! | 2025-01-26 | We’ve received a lot of feedback from players saying that the game’s guidance is lacking. After entering the game, players often don’t know what to do, and the interactions are unintuitive and easy to overlook. As the developer, I had a preconceived understanding of the game during development, which made it hard for me to notice these issues since there’s a huge gap between my understanding and that of a new player. That’s why I worked overtime to create this brand-new tutorial level. Now, when starting a New Game, players can enter the tutorial level to learn the controls, objectives, and interactions. This will help players understand how |
| Version 1.2 Update: Bug fixed | 2025-01-25 | In my testing, the game was able to be completed without issues, but unfortunately, the launch version encountered various problems that I did not detect during my own testing. I have since implemented two fixes, which should resolve the black screen issue, as well as the problem with new train cars not spawning and the progression not being smooth. Thank you for your understanding and patience. As an indie developer, it's incredibly difficult to catch every bug during testing, and I did not intentionally overlook these. I sincerely apologize. If you encounter any other bugs, please send an email to delicatefingers@foxmail.com. All emails wil |
| 【Black screen solution!!!】If you meet a black screen while start the game | 2025-01-25 | A bug has been discovered in the current version of the game. If you start a new game directly after launching the game, the screen will go black and the game won’t run. Solution: As a temporary workaround, please exit to the title screen and switch to any other language. Start a new game from there. Then, press ESC to return to the title screen, switch back to English, and start a new game again. The game should now run properly. |
