- v1.0.8 Minor Fixes - 23 May 2026
Redesigned input detection and execution on blue pipes in Chapter 5.3 to be more responsive to player expectations. Recolored the damage vines in Chapter 5 to have better contrast and improve readability. Fixed issue where words at the end of a line in cinematic dialogue boxes would jump to the next line midway through spelling them out. Fixed "skip cutscene" logic when meeting Yupa at the shrine in Chapter 2-3. Went from "playable" to officially "verified" on Steam Deck (specifically from making text larger in the overworld).
- v1.0.7 Minor Fixes - 13 May 2026
Fixed issues in chapter 3-2 and chapter 4-3 where subsection red atropa counts in the overworld were incorrectly referencing the wrong atropa IDs. In addition to the interact button, "up" can now also be used to interact with NPCs and doors, including up on the left controller analog stick. Objects that spawn instances (e.g. chapter 2 toxic plumes, chapter 5 lava fish, chapter 7 lasers, etc.) now reset their timers if the player dies, allowing for consistent level starting states. Moving objects such as platforms and jellyfish continue to reset their position as well. Fixed issue where bounce shrooms on walls created inconsistent trajectories. Fixed rare wall clipping issue in Shellwood city hall. Increased the text size of "Section 1", "Section 2", etc. in the overworld view such that it is greater than 12px in height on Steam Deck. Fixed rare issue in Shellwood causing a cutscene to r…

- v1.0.6 Minor Fixes - 9 May 2026

Fixed bug where deaths were counted incorrectly in Steam achievements. Refined how completion percent is calculated ( 50% Story, 40% Atropas, 10% Foyal pages). Small QOL changes to the way the player marker behaves in the overworld.
- v1.0.5 - Minor Fixes - 8 May 2026
Changed NPC interaction input to be consistent with door interaction input. (Defaults: Y on Switch, top Gamepad button on PC controller input, E on keyboard). Can be re-binded on Steam version. Fixed bug where Red Atropa was not collected if still trailing the player at a room transition. Fixed visual auto-tiling issue in two Atropa rooms in chapter 3. Added extra Azae to secret Foyal page room in chapter 2 to allow for easier return to main path. Visual improvement of Foyal's journal page collection animation. Fixed visible hitboxes showing in Chapter 3-2 spirit room. Refined chapter 4-2 spirit room level layout. Fixed rare occurrences where NPC cutscenes repeated themselves. Changed bao's color to match chapter 6 Azae colors when queued. Fixed small visual bugs in chapter 5 cutscenes. Corrected mistranslations of Portuguese words in the title menu.
