- Two months, one boss, and the work that's left - 3 July 2026
The final boss is roughly done. Two months, and it was hard.Since it's the final boss, the thought would sometimes surface — how few people will actually reach it. But then I'd remember that the people who do are exactly the ones worth making this for, and I'd put my head back down and keep going.Now I'm moving into full assembly. Replacing the placeholders with final versions, shoring up the gameplay where it needs it, finishing the story, renewing the dialogue to match, and getting the voice acting properly recorded. A lot left to do, but the end is in sight.Thank you for following along — it's what keeps this going.

Demo updates and boss work are both ongoing. Demo changes below:Various boss-related bug and glitch fixesMinor early-game UX adjustmentsWall run controls revised After a long round of feedback-driven iteration on wall run, I've come almost full circle back to where I started. Tap the direction key once after touching the wall to begin running.Scan controls revised In addition to the existing Tab hold, you can now toggle scan with Caps Lock, similar to the gamepad setup.Boss work continues — one of the last two is nearly done. Below is a mood trailer. I tried something a little different with this one.Thanks.

- Demo Major Update - UI Renewal and Many Improvements - 17 August 2025
There have been countless fixes since the demo release, and this time I’ve made another major round of updates.I ran an event where players could get a key by sharing gameplay footage, and many people joined in. Among them, Lori completely redesigned the UI, which turned out so much better than the original that I rebuilt everything over three weeks. Lori also kept giving feedback during the process. I’ve already thanked him several times, but I’d like to take this chance to thank him again.Thanks to all the feedback, I was able to fix many unexpected bugs and improve the flow of progression. Especially in the early game, a lot has changed to account for playstyles I hadn’t anticipated.I also moved the boss hall further back, replacing the old spot with a new hall focused on story content and wall jump practice. The wall jump itself has been greatly improved as well.It’s the first time…

- Demo Major Update – New Trailer Out - 4 May 2025
Since the demo launch on April 1st, I've made major changes based on community feedback. Here's what’s new: Unlocked Traversal Freedom Acrobatic movement is now available much earlier, with location restrictions removed entirely. This opens up the world after the initial tutorial, giving players more freedom to explore and experiment with movement-based mechanics. Quest progression was also adjusted to allow for more open-ended exploration, and several areas were reworked to support freer traversal. Lightweight Dialogue System You no longer need to open the dialogue window every time—conversations now appear as compact messages on the right side of the screen. Keyboard users can adjust the display speed of these messages on the fly, and all players can do so via Settings > Game Settings > Dialog Display Speed. Boss Fight Improvements I've addressed frustrating elements in the boss fight…
