- Hotfix Update: Flowmodoro Mode! - 18 September 2026
Flowmodoro Mode Is Now Officially Supported!Flowmodoro is a productivity timing method that works a little differently from the traditional Pomodoro Technique.This mode is designed to avoid interrupting your flow state, and is mainly intended for people who dislike having their focus sessions forcibly ended or whose work cycles do not follow a fixed schedule.Unlike the traditional Pomodoro method, which uses a fixed focus duration, the Flowmodoro counts upward as your focus time continues to accumulate.The system will not automatically end your focus session. Instead, you decide when to stop focusing.Once the focus session ends, an appropriate break duration will be calculated proportionally based on how long you stayed focused.In other words, shorter focus sessions give you shorter breaks, while longer focus sessions give you longer breaks.You can also set a total amount of break time…

- Regular Update: Delicious Food Is Here! - 10 September 2026
Adventurers, the wait is over!This regular feature update brings you "More Food" than ever before!Some of you may have wondered why the hunger system seemed to be such a strange restriction on your character's exploration.The original intention was actually to prevent players from acquiring too many items early on and running out of inventory space.But now, "hunger" might become a whole new "opportunity" instead!Introducing this update's main attraction: Tavern Meals!Tavern Meals and Their EffectsOnce you've unlocked additional tavern meal options through Goddess Blessings, you'll be able to browse a wider menu at the tavern!Some menu options change depending on your character's current biome.For example, meals from the icyland can help protect you against freezing, while swamp dishes can provide poison resistance.There are also meals that can help you level up or earn money faster!Food…

- June 2026 Development Log - 13 June 2026
Greetings, adventurers! It is time for our once-every-two-months devlog again! These past two months have mainly been about preparing for the Early Access version. I thought it would be easy to summarize the updates, but when I looked back, I realized that several major systems had been connected during this period. So, let us take a look at what has been added over the past two months! The Grand Codex and Goddess's Blessing First, let us talk about the two most important long-term progression systems from the past two months: The Grand Codex and Goddess's Blessing. Items found during adventures are no longer only for equipping, using, or selling. They can now also be registered in The Grand Codex. After registering items, players can obtain Sands of Time. Sands of Time can then be used to activate Goddess's Blessing. Goddess's Blessing is a long-term enhancement system tied to Chronosh…
- April 2026 Development Log - 1 May 2026
Greetings, adventurers!It’s time for our bimonthly devlog update!Over the past two months, we’ve been hard at work preparing for the upcoming Steam Next Fest. This included numerous quality-of-life adjustments and bug fixes. While there are fewer "brand new" features this time, the ones we have are game-changers. Let’s dive in!Town Portal ScrollsWe’ve all been there: your backpack is overflowing, or your hunger meter is hitting zero in the middle of a dungeon. In the full version, we are introducing Town Portal Scrolls. These allow you to return to the previous town to restock and resupply. Once you’ve healed up and grabbed a meal at the tavern, you can teleport right back to where you left off!Private StorageStorage chests are finally available in towns! While expanding your storage capacity still costs a bit of gold, it’s much more affordable than upgrading your backpack.Best of all,…
- February 2026 Development Log - 10 March 2026
Greetings, fellow adventurers! Thank you all for your incredible support.Here’s a breakdown of our development progress from the last two months:Focus & Task RewardsWe heard your calls for "direct rewards for focusing"!We are adding a "Focus Reward Panel" to the right side of the screen.By reaching specific focus durations and archiving enough tasks, you can claim reward items here.Rumor has it there are even rare "Skill Points" and "Diamond Chests" waiting for you!"Won the Fight but Wasted an Item" OptimizationWe've addressed the frustration of using items unnecessarily after an enemy is already defeated.In future battles, if all enemies are wiped out, subsequent items will no longer trigger.(Of course, if skipping an item would result in your character dying from over-time damage like poison, the item will still be used to save you—so it’s never a waste!)This was technically challengi…
- Devlog: Second Half of 2025 - 2 December 2025
First and foremost, I offer my sincerest apologies to all the players looking forward to the game! This devlog is arriving a bit later than intended.

We already have the melee specialists (Paladin, Berserker) and the ranged attackers (Ranger, Gunner).Now, the base classes for the remaining two archetypes have been designed! They are the magic-based "Wizard" and the stealth-based "Rogue."The Wizard specializes in elemental magic, including Fire, Frost, and Lightning. They can also sum…

- February 2025 Development Log - 24 February 2025
Hello, everyone! After nearly four months of development, we finally have some progress and visuals to share with you! During this period, we focused mainly on designing the logic layer of the battle system, as well as UI design and resource integration for some features. As a result, there isn't much battle footage to showcase just yet. Pomodoro Interface Showcase The Pomodoro feature is now fully developed. In the settings menu, you can adjust the length of focus sessions, short and long breaks, and the interval between long breaks. Additionally, the game will automatically record the accumulated focus time for the current task. You can easily review cumulative focus and idle times through daily, 5-day, or 30-day charts. The task list clearly displays the focus time for each individual task. Only the currently pinned task will be displayed in the game interface, accumulating time acco…
