• New Affection Level 2 Events for Seha and Jaewon // Improved Event Conditions:
  Several Affection Level 2 events have been added for Seha (and Jaewon). We have also made it easier for you to find Seha and engage with him by reducing the requirements for many events.
  
  
• Less Requirements for Various Events:
  The requirements for events such as Junho's protest and Seha's evening escort were rather steep. We've made it easier to find them.

[h2]Other Improvements[/h2]

• Added a CG Gallery:
  You can now revisit collected CGs in the game. Please note that CGs discovered before this update will not be unlocked, so you will need to replay the game from the beginning to view them again.
  
  
  
  
• Added Affection Indicators:
  Now you can directly check the current affection level when you talk to each character. We have also added the affection indicator dialogues to supporting characters. You can now visually confirm the progression of your relationships more easily. We have also added various quality-of-life changes.
  

[h2]Fixed Bugs[/h2]

• Fixed the issue where your improved affection with Junho was not properly reflected.
  
• Corrected several typos and issues for Chinese and English.
  
• Fixed various minor bugs in basic conversations and other events.
  

[h2]Upcoming Update Preview[/h2]

• Dating: Characters like Seha and Taemin will be available to date from Affection Level 2 onwards, which will be released soon. With the addition of the dating feature, you will have more fun and romantic interactions with the cast of Salty Hounds.
  
  
• Affection Content Release: Up until now, due to bug fixes and stabilization efforts, only early-stage events for Affection Level 1 out of a total of 5 levels, on top of some supporting character events and main story events have been available to you. However, we plan to unlock several times more content through continuous updates.
  

We apologize for the delay in the major update that was announced and prepared last April due to some significant issues. Please look forward to the upcoming addition of the dating feature.

Thank you.

Dear players,
our sincere apologies for the introduction of new bugs in the last update.

The bug reports alerted us about freezing bugs which didn't occur during testing for some unknown reason.

We have tracked down the source of known issues and fixed them all.
However, If similar freezing issues occur again, please let us know.

Since this was an urgent hotfix update, we haven't prepared a patch note yet. We will add it later.
