🖋️ A Personal Note from Shi:
Warden, none of this would have been possible without your vigilance, your feedback, and your belief in the mission. Your support has strengthened the Agency through every setback and breakthrough. As we approach the final operation, I trust you will stand with us once more — and carry Twilight Wars across the threshold into release. Together, we are unstoppable.

If you haven't yet, be sure to add Twilight Wars to your wishlist and follow the project. Your support increases the Agency’s operational reach.

In the neon-lit, corporate-dominated world of Twilight Wars, it’s up to you to rebuild what was lost. Recruit agents, lead high-stakes missions, and navigate the fragile bonds within your team. Every operation matters!

[h3]🛡️ About Twilight Wars:[/h3]

• Tactical Espionage Combat: Action-packed dungeon crawling with turn-based combat set in a high-stakes cyberpunk world. Features a fresh twist on “permadeath” where agents can fall — but not always forever.
  
• A team with real personalities: Each agent has fears, conflicts, and quirks that can shift the tides of battle. Build trust, manage clashes — or watch your squad fall apart.
  
• Diverse missions, countless strategies: Rescue hostages, launch assaults, gather intel, or strategically retreat. No two campaigns are the same.
  
• A cozy base to call home: Heal your wounded, revive fallen comrades, and develop cutting-edge tech modules. (And don’t forget to feed the cat. 🐾)
  
• Morality in the Machine: Shape the story through your choices and your evolving relationship with Shi, the Agency’s AI. Navigate moral dilemmas that lead to multiple narrative endings.
  
• Cozy Cyberpunk Aesthetic: A unique visual and musical style that fuses gritty neon dystopia with a surprisingly warm, lived-in vibe — welcome to the world of "cozy cyberpunk."

See you at the "Triple-A" base!

Ping! This is Shi, the AI speaking. Since the release of the previous demo, many changes have occurred at the agency, and the reason for them is you — our Wardens, and your invaluable feedback: reviews, forum discussions, and survey results.

These innovations will fully unfold in the release version of the game, which is in active development, but you can already check out our progress by playing the updated Declassified 2.1 demo during the Steam Turn-Based RPG Fest.

Play now! Download the demo from the Twilight Wars game page using the "Download demo" button!

Here's a report so you don't miss anything interesting:

[h3][Tutorial][/h3]

• The tutorial for the missions and the Base has been updated. It now provides clearer and more detailed explanations of the game's core mechanics.
  
• Loading screens with tactical tips have been added to teach you various gameplay intricacies.
  

[h3][Visuals][/h3]

• Improved status effect animations on characters, such as burning, poisoning, stunning, and more.
  
• Added animations on the screen during status effects to enhance the combat dynamics.
  
• Added various color schemes for enemies.
  
• Character death animations have been updated.
  
• The Region Map has been improved.
  

[h3][Interface][/h3]

• Tooltips for abilities and characters have been refined. They are now more informative, with dynamic parameters and concise descriptions.
  
• Improved targeting reticles. Now, when selecting a target, information about the expected damage, status effects, and their effectiveness is displayed.
  
• Due to popular demand, fonts are now LARGER.
  

[h3][Combat System][/h3]

• A detailed combat log has been added, making it easier to follow what's happening during missions. The log includes not only characters' actions and abilities but also key plot dialogues.
  
• A positive effect has been added when agents change positions, depending on their role.
  
• Enemy AI has been improved. They will now push you to adapt to combat situations and think through tactics more carefully.
  
• The Psychoperks system has been implemented — psychological traits of agents that provide penalties, bonuses, or more unusual and ambiguous effects.
  
• A new consumable item, the Neurotonic, has been added. It helps maintain agents' mental health. High morale not only makes them more accurate, agile, and loyal but also increases the chance of gaining a useful psychoperk.
  
• The Injury System has been implemented. When retreating or after completing a mission, agents can now sustain injuries. These come in varying severity, affecting the maximum health pool and can be treated in the updated Infirmary module.
  
• The Worldviews and Relationships system has been implemented, directly impacting the effectiveness of your squad. Agents with friendly relations will go on missions with high morale, while those with conflicting worldviews will suffer. You’ll feel the full pain of clashing worldviews during the first mission with the Kunoichi agent.
  
• Some enemies now have resistances to effects. For example, the gas mask-wearing rat is now resistant to poison.
  

[h3][Balance][/h3]

• Many character abilities and the leveling system have been reworked. We have meticulously balanced the difficulty, and we hope that creating your own squad combinations and battling will be even more exciting!
  
• Adjusted consumable prices, mission rewards, and agent salaries.
  

[h3][ Sound Design ][/h3]

• The combat and base music themes have been changed. Combat music is now more dynamic, while the base music is more relaxing. A variety of original soundtracks have been composed, which we hope will help immerse you in the cozy cyberpunk atmosphere.
  
• Improved battle sounds, such as "pain screams" when agents or enemies get hit. These screams were recorded by our team members, as well as our friends and family.
  
• The Radiostalker text quest has been refined.
  

[h3][Base][/h3]

• You can now dismiss agents who, in your opinion, are not suited for working with "Triple-A." But use this extreme measure with caution — each character has a unique quest and personal dialogues that will become unavailable after dismissal.
  
• A "Biography" tab has been added to the agent profiles, where you can read the backstory of your favorite hero, better understand their personality, and motivations in the fight against corporations. Over time, new details will be added, revealing aspects of the character’s past or their development throughout the story.
  
• News has been added, reflecting the impact of your actions on the world. But don’t think everything revolves around "Triple-A" — the news will also cover events happening around the globe, independent of your involvement.
  
• A Group Chat has been added to the Messenger with agent comments and a detailed mission report, as well as base events such as module construction, changes in agent loyalty and morale, level-ups, psychoperks, and much more — perfect for those who focus more on the tactical aspect.
  
• In the demo, you will now have the opportunity to build a Columbarium — a module that allows you to resurrect a fallen agent using a digitized copy of their personality.
  
• The Relationship system between agents and the Watcher has been implemented. If agents' views differ from yours, they will receive the "Antagonism" psychoperk, and their loyalty to the organization will decrease.
  
• A music player has been added. The collection will grow as you progress through the game, but to gather all the tracks, you'll need to explore the map thoroughly during missions.
  

[h3][Narrative][/h3]

• The demo now includes a new interview and private dialogue with agent Needle, which serves as a request for a personal mission.
  
• A new cutscene has been added and voiced, telling the story of corporate liberation and the rise of "Triple-A" as the sole opposing force.
  
• Text-based character reactions have been added to emphasize their personalities. In combat, they will comment on successful or failed shots, the death of enemies or allies, and more. At the base, they will share their opinions on various events, from module installations to hiring new staff.
  
• The narrative scene in the tutorial mission has been improved.
  

[h3][Miscellaneous][/h3]

• Localization system reworked.
  
• Game graphics settings have been reworked.
  
• Numerous bugs and glitches have been fixed.
  
• Game resources have been optimized for faster load times.
