.

In addition, a "Ver. 3.0" update will be scheduled for early 2023 (January or February).
Ver. 3.0" will be an update mainly aimed at adjusting the Switch version.


In order to run the Switch version at 60FPS, we plan to reduce the size of the stages for the Switch version only.
Therefore, please note that from "Ver. 3.0" onward, the content of the stages will differ between the Steam version and the Switch version.
We also hope to adjust the stages in the Steam version accordingly.
In addition, we plan to enhance various stages and functional aspects of the game.


Current update schedule.
Mainly, we are planning to update the stages of the Switch version.
Event stills will be added to some stories.
A feature that will allow users to skip the "OP video at startup", "story settings", "action settings", etc. in the "Option Mode".
A function to change "Story Settings" and "Action Settings" in "Option Mode".

We have received reports of a problem with the screen size returning to its original size when the screen size is set to full window, but we hope you understand that this is probably due to a bug in the production tools and that it is difficult to fix. This game is recommended to be played in windowed mode.


If you have any other reports of bugs or features you would like to see added, please contact us via the official discord, etc. (http://discord.gg/dzBc6aQVfJ)
