• 2. "Expansion of response"
  

　This time, in the Early Access version, we provided the entire game only in the so-called "easy mode", which focuses on the wide frontage, but we have prepared a high difficulty mode for customers who want a harder game experience. I will do it. We will also expand the game volume and variations.

• 2．Implementation of high difficulty "hard mode (provisional)" as a trial operation (please let us know your opinion)
  

　We will additionally implement "Hard Mode (Tentative)" as a trial operation in order to realize "Rogue Light-like game characteristics" that are highly requested by users.
　In addition to the conventional "normal mode", we would appreciate it if you could enjoy it and give us your opinions.

　Until now, there was no penalty for death,but in "Hard Mode (Tentative)", various new rules are applied, such as losing all equipment, weapons, items, etc. that you had when you died.
Try the gameplay, which is much more tense.
