- Updated the Official version 1.0.2 and the demo version 0.2.6. - 14 May 2025
We have updated the official version v1.0.2 and the demo version v0.2.6.

This adjustment is intended to help players more fully experience the emotional and relational complexities that underpin the story. Rather than focusing on whether there is a “correct” answer, we hope this addition conveys the emotional and logical weight of choosing to confront someone. - Added new lines to Chapters 4 and 5 to further explore Yokai impersonation and its implications. - We have adjusted several lines in the English translation where overly liberal translations made it difficult to convey the subtle nuances of the original Japanese script and…
