Fixes & Improvements

• Improved Xbox controller support
  The Start button is now assigned to pause the game and display the control guide, instead of opening the minimap.
  Additionally, the mouse cursor is now always hidden while using the controller and only becomes visible again when a mouse click is detected.

• Fixed an issue where dialogue flags could disappear after loading
  

• Fixed an issue where certain characters would appear in incorrect positions after loading

• Fixed a bug that could cause the game to freeze during loading under specific conditions

• Fixed a bug where Iwao would appear half-naked after loading under certain conditions

• Fixed an issue where enemies defeated with Overdrive would remain standing and frozen

• Fixed an issue where dialogue appeared if the event was skipped before the dialogue began

• Fixed the shadow of a mysterious figure that appeared at the shrine when the outline feature was enabled

• Adjusted the damage calculation formula
  Previously, damage increased multiplicatively per attack. Now, *Melee attacks apply attack count = STR, and *Ranged attacks apply attack count = INT. This prevents the game from breaking even at a 10-hit combo.

• Changed “Open the Sesame” to “Open Sesame”

• Fixed an issue where the outline of nurses was visible even outside of combat

• Fixed an issue where subtitle size settings were not properly saved and restored

• Fixed an issue where dialogue appeared if an event was skipped immediately after it started

Known & Unresolved Issues

• In Visual Novel sections, animations temporarily pause
  This is intentional, but the visual result is not ideal. A breathing-like motion will be implemented.

• Lack of functions in Visual Novel sections other than skip
  Features such as backlog and auto-play are planned.

• Insufficient tutorial content

• Limited controller support
  A help function was added in this update, but UI operability still remains an issue. Further improvements are in progress.

• Machiko’s unarmed melee attack is counted as two attacks
  Because she uses both legs to attack, this issue occurs. It will be fixed in a future update.

• Doctor’s dodge animation is not working
  For now, if you leave the enemy attack range when the blue feather effect is active, you can avoid triggering opportunity attacks. A proper animation will be implemented.

• Parts of the minimap background disappear

• In some cases, it is impossible to climb the step in the church

• No collision detection for allies
  There are pros and cons to this, so we will continue testing before making a decision.

• Items in shops do not restock after loading
  Restarting the game will restock them, but in some playthroughs this may lead to a soft-lock. Since the summer festival has many items, the risk is low. Improvements are planned for the next update.

• Costume names are excessively long

• Initial equipment is not localized and is displayed using the raw game data

• Nurses in the hospital do not attack
  This is currently intentional, but attack behavior will be added in an upcoming update.

• Field items reappear after restarting the game, but do not respawn simply by loading
  This will be improved in a future update.
