On behalf of eXiin and Modus Games, thanks for your continued support of Ary and the Secret of Seasons! We hope you are enjoying your time in Valdi so far, and for everyone else, we cannot wait for you to master the seasons and become the hero of your own story. Ary was a very ambitious project for both of our teams, and we will be continuously monitoring your feedback to address any issues, bugs, or general problems along the way to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. We have already identified a few issues which we are working on resolving right away.

Known issues:

• In rare instances, using fast travel to exit a temple after retrieving the boss key prevents completion of some temples.
  
• In rare instances, death causes Ary to become invisible, requiring a reload of the game.
  
• Ice golems in Winter Temple may spawn invisible. They are visible on reload, but progress is still possible by defeating them while invisible.
  
• English strings displayed for some NPC chatter instead of translated strings if playing in other languages.
  
• World / terrain disappears in several areas at specific player viewpoints.
  
• Collision is missing from some objects like barrels in Ostara City.
  
• Some NPC quest indicators do not disappear after talking to the NPC in some cases.
  

If you see a bug not reported above, please let us know in the comments or through our Discord. We will continue to monitor feedback and bug reports and keep you, the community, up-to-date with the progress.
