  • Added the Scanner, accessible with right-click or Y/Triangle by default on controller. The Scanner reveals all interactable objects when triggered.
  • The Pause Menu has a new visual overhaul, as well as the new Bonds menu that updates and fills out as you progress through the demo and talk to each character.
    • The "Save and Quit to Title" option has been moved to the System menu.
  • Added the new song "Nyanus, Your Overseer" to the gym cutscene.
  • After idling for 7.5 seconds, an input guide for basic actions will appear. It will disappear after moving or pressing a button.

  • Art for Skill Cards has been updated with new art.
  • The Combo Timer and Influence gauge are now paused for the entire duration of the immediate effects of Skill Cards.
  • Skill Cards are now shuffled into the top half of the deck to make them more accessible and allow for strategies to become more consistent.
