[p]Hello, dear players![/p][p]Thank you so much for all your active comments and for being willing to join our community for deeper discussions with us. We’ve read and recorded all of your feedback carefully. Your input has been a huge help and encouragement in identifying issues and improving the overall experience![/p][p]Since launch, we’ve already fixed and optimized some problems. If you have any additional suggestions or impressions from your playtime, feel free to share them with us. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on the game and work on further improvements.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Can you add an in-run save feature? A: We completely understand the desire and need for an in-run save system. This feature is currently in development.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Chapter 3 runs very poorly and feels laggy. A: We are optimizing Chapter 3 as well as other situations that may cause performance issues. These improvements will be rolled out in future updates.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Can the Powdercask Knight be revived at the Altar of Absolution? A: Yes, they can be revived. After revival, the Powdercask Knight will not stay at the original location where the player first met them. Instead, they will leave behind a note and continue on their journey.
Additionally, we’ve improved the interaction prompts for the Altar of Absolution, so you no longer need to worry about losing track of revived followers.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: How do Seed Bombs work? A: After placing a Seed Bomb, it needs to be connected to any other card, similar to lighting a fuse. The countdown starts at 3. Each additional card you connect reduces the countdown by 1. When the third card is connected, the explosion is triggered, destroying all nearby cards centered on that card.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Sometimes I can see corpses talking. A: We’ve identified an issue where certain sequences could break during non-standard play orders, causing visual or narrative glitches. These are being fixed one by one, and soon the corpses will properly stay silent.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Can you add a prompt to indicate when a chapter ends? A: We’ve added new prompts at the end of each chapter. You can now explore the map with greater peace of mind.[/p]
