About the demo & updates

Hello Inner Earth’s creatures!

We have recently uploaded a new patch to the demo to solve some problems with starting a new game, as well as some optimizations and adjustments. The good news is that we solved it, so those of you struggling to try the demo out for the first time can now descend to the Core. Be prepared!

About the Save Files
With the new update, you might not be able to continue with your old saved game- this is not a bug. With the latest patch, we have made some changes to game items and processes, which unfortunately made them incompatible with old save files.
Please, keep in mind that while this game is still in development, the saved files from old demo versions might lose support in the newer ones.

About Translations
Currently, the English and Japanese translations for the demo version are not yet complete. You may encounter some parts in the game that are not translated, and we sincerely ask for your understanding. We will promptly update and fix these issues once the translations are completed. We assure you that the official release of the game will have full English and Japanese support, and these issues will not occur.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience that this might cause you and hope that you are as excited as us for what’s to come next!

Thank you for your continuous support and excitement!

But who knows if, during your expeditions, you will find the knowledge and technology that one day, hopefully, will let you return to the surface to start a new life.
