February 9th was the Unhappy Birthday of the Limb-Severing Devil🔪🎂 Since today is also Valentine's Day, I celebrated with a chocolate cake🍫 On January 28th, Steam wishlist registrations also surpassed 【7777】. This became a wonderful birthday present for him from all the victims. Thank you so much! On Steam, if a game accumulates a large number of wishlist entries, it can be featured as a Hot Game right before release. Just thinking that even a game catering to such a niche fetish might join those ranks gives me hope... I still need some time before completion, but I'll continue doing our utmost to ensure your wishlist registrations aren't wasted! If you haven't registered yet, adding it to your wishlist would be a huge encouragement.

Your support through follows and shares would be a huge help as it directly impacts my future motivation! I'm really counting on it...! 📢Follow New 𝕏: https://x.com/KessonShitsuai Full-Voice Demo Version Now Available…

- Unity Vulnerability Fix Update for Demo Version - 11 October 2025
Thank you to all the victims of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case” who are enjoying the full voice demo version! I have implemented fixes for bugs, including security vulnerability countermeasures for the game engine “Unity” used in this title. I rebuilt using a version of Unity where the vulnerability has been fixed. Fixed an issue in the panorama exploration part where background coordinates would shift if an event triggered while holding down a click during drag operations. Fixed a rare issue where progress would become impossible immediately after entering a name in a scene. Improved the feel of scrolling when looping in the 360-degree panorama background. (While there's no scene in the demo version where this operation is possible, I wanted to mention it because I was happy to have resolved this concern.) Fixed other minor bugs and typos. I also plan to release a patch update addressin…

- Wish list has over 5000 registrations and 20 reviews of the demo version! - 9 August 2025
【Thank you for 5000 wishlist registrations!】 I reached 5,000 wish list registrations on July 19 and 20 reviews of the demo version on August 4! This is the first time I have received so many registrations, almost double the previous record high. Although the rest of the world is too disturbing to be honestly happy about it, such as the search-ban on my X (Twitter) account and the restrictions on expression that are often talked about around here, I am able to aim a little higher on Steam. At the same time, it has been about 5 months since the opening of the Steam Store page, and the speed of time is very frightening...but there has been progress besides this trial version update! The Live2D in the YouTube commemorative video is a new model that seamlessly turns right side out. I am also currently working on a profile Live2D model of the main character. Once this is completed, developmen…
- Bug fix update for demo version - 3 August 2025
Thank you to all the victims of the “Limb-Severing Devil Case” who are enjoying the full voice demo version! I have fixed a bug that caused the game to become inaccessible in some countries. If you could not play the game properly, please try updating the game. Fixed a bug that caused the background of the panorama search part to go completely dark in some countries, such as Europe and Russia, making progress impossible. Specifically, this bug applies to "regions where decimal points are denoted with commas". When simplified or traditional Chinese characters are selected in the language setting, the “小红书(RED)” button is now displayed in the chapter select link. The number of situations where the skip is forced to be canceled has been reduced to ensure smooth skipping. Normally, skipping is forced to be canceled for choices and the panorama exploration part. It is possible to change the…
