Greetings Travelers,
The Week 4 update has been applied today!

This update adds new random events that you'll encounter while exploring The Rapids, along with new Memories and Essences. Once again, we've implemented many of your feedback shared through Discord and Steam into the game.

Today marks the end of our four-week intensive update period. However, this isn't the end of updates for the Prologue! We'll continue to provide updates, bug fixes, and content additions irregularly. So please keep sharing your feedback and help us make the game even better!




By the way, Traveler,

Do you feel someone watching you?


At the end of the year, she will visit you.

Hello Travelers, thank you for your patience!

The Week 2 update has been applied today!

Along with the Lucid Dream system that allows you to freely change the rules of The Rapids, 1 unlockable Lucid Dream has been added to the game. Frustrated that stun and knockback skills were useless in boss fights? Try playing the game with the new Lucid Dream activated and share your thoughts. Based on user feedback, this Lucid Dream may be incorporated into the base rules of the game!

Many gameplay suggestions have been implemented along with fixes for bugs reported by you all. In particular, to address the lack of upgrade materials, we experimentally added the Reverie system. Let us know what you think about the current system and other changes. We will continue to actively accept feedback from Travelers!
