Launch-window changes: July 23–25, 2026
The July 23 note fixed a reset-bind problem involving back triggers, lowered loud explosion audio, and made minor boss-fight balance changes. The July 24 note fixed a loop that could trap the player in the Akai fight, allowed binding to controller Y, and repaired a rare return-to-start problem after defeating Kasei the Tyrant.
The July 25 note is brief: a boss balance pass and an ending quick-time-event bug fix. Because the public description is concise, this wiki does not infer which bosses or values changed. Players comparing older footage should expect encounter behavior to differ where balance was adjusted.
What the official demo history records
Earlier official announcements document the road to release. A March 29, 2026 demo update included an optimization pass, blocking from any attack direction, a small environment update, and target lock for mouse and keyboard. A January 30 build added a new intro, floating damage-number toggle, new summons, environment changes, stamina-free running, and cooldown numbers.
A December 2025 patch announced full controller support and camera and optimization fixes. October and November notes mention heal-potion refresh at save interaction, sprint toggle, improved controller support, key-binding cleanup, a mini-boss model update, crash reporting, and additional optimization. Demo behavior is historical context, not a promise that every detail remained unchanged at launch.
How to verify and report a current issue
First confirm the build is updated, then reproduce the issue with a specific binding, location, enemy, and action sequence. Distinguish a control problem from a progression problem: “controller Y cannot be assigned after resetting binds” gives a developer a narrower path than “controls are broken.” For encounter issues, note the boss, phase, camera position, and the action immediately before the failure.
The developer announced an official Discord server in January 2026. Steam announcements and the linked official community remain the safest channels for current instructions. Do not post private account data or unrelated system secrets in public bug reports.
