We’re here to quickly share our third devlog for Stage 3.*This devlog includes content related to Stage 3, which is currently in development.

Hello!We are SnakeEagle, a team currently developing a game. We hope you all had a great May! Today, we’d like to share our May devlog, which includes updates on Stage 3. In this devlog, we talk about things such as the main mechanic of the stage.*This devlog contains information about Stage 3, which is currently in development. As the content is still in development, it may be subject to change.We have done our best to avoid spoilers, but if you would like to experience the stage completely fresh, please keep this in mind before reading. Please feel free to leave any questions you may have!Stage Main Mechanic We want to keep the actions of the protagonist, Yonah, simple and straightforward all the way to the end.

SummaryBalance Adjustment*Patch notes up to version 1.4e are summarized on the page below.Hello! This is the SnakeEagle team :) While we continue working hard on Stage 3, we are also always listening to your feedback and carefully considering how to improve the game balance. Hard-Lunatic difficulties are for players who want a challenging experience, while Easy-Normal difficulties are for players who want to enjoy the game with relatively less pressure. We want to keep this distinction more clearly in mind as we continue adjusting the balance. Of course, the difficulty of the game is also part of the experience, so we will continue making careful adjustments without harming that experience. As always, we would be grateful if you continue sharing your thoughts with us. Thank you, always!!Stage 2Reduced the HP of the “Transformed Angel Bug” in Phase 3 of the Nana boss fight on Easy-Normal…

- 2026.03 DevLog - 1 April 2026

For those of you who are waiting for the game’s completion, we would like to share a short development log at the end of each month. (If possible, it will be posted at the end of the month, though it may occasionally be delayed until the beginning of the following month.) In this development log, we would like to talk about a brief overview of the past month’s progress and our plans going forward.\Most of March was spent implementing the feedback we received.

- Early Access v1.3b Update - 10 March 2026
SummaryImproved various non-intuitive elementsAdded a 3-second delayed pause featureOverall balance adjustments and other improvementsHello! This is the SnakeEagle team. Most of the difficulties caused by non-intuitive elements have been addressed in this update. In addition, we have added preparation frames to enemy attack animations, made overall balance adjustments, and fixed various minor and major bugs. Additionally, the pause feature that many players requested has been added, activating after a 3-second delay.We do not want to create a game that is simply harsh or punishing. However, as I became very accustomed to the game during development, I believe my own standard for difficulty had become quite high.Because of that, we see the current stage as a process of aligning the intended design with the actual player experience. This is also one of the main reasons why we chose to rel…
- Early Access v1.2c Update - 26 February 2026
SummaryImproved control-related difficultyFine-tuned pattern intensity for each difficultyRefined unintuitive elements beyond the original design intent, and moreHello! We’re the SnakeEagle team.We carefully review all of your reviews, feedback, and videos, and continuously reflect them in our updates.With the 1.2 update, we have maintained the original direction of the game while significantly refining areas that may have felt rough beyond our intended design.Looking at achievement data, the clear rate for “Stage 1 – Yozoh” is close to 60%, whereas only 13.4% of players have cleared “Nana,” even on Easy difficulty. We would truly appreciate it if you could give it another try in the current version.We do want to offer a challenge—but not one that feels frustrating for the wrong reasons. Our goal is to create a difficulty that is fair, rewarding, and ultimately worth overcoming.Every pi…
- Early Access v1.1a Update - 20 February 2026
Hello, This is SnakeEagle.The main goals of this update are as follows: 1. Improved Player ControlsThe action design of KILL THE WITCH is intentionally simple, with a limited number of moves that behave consistently. However, each action carries a certain level of risk—using the wrong move in the wrong situation can result in penalties.This was designed so that, as players become more familiar with the game, they naturally learn to choose more appropriate actions, which in turn lowers the perceived difficulty over time.That said, we also strongly agree that some actions leave room for adjustment.Without compromising the core framework of the game, we will continue to carefully observe and refine the controls to create a more responsive and satisfying feel. 2. Clearer Distinction Between Easy / Normal / Hard / LunaticWe aimed to more clearly differentiate each difficulty level so that ea…
- Upcoming Update and a Message from the Developer - 19 February 2026
Hello,I’m ASO (Yuseok Oh), the developer.Along with some upcoming update plans, I’d like to share my honest thoughts about the game. Upcoming Update Plans First, the upcoming update will primarily focus on adjusting the Easy and Normal difficulties of Stage 2. We are aiming to roll out the first round of changes by at least Thursday (February 20 KST / February 19 UTC). Lower difficulty modes are intended to serve as practice for overcoming the higher difficulties. However, we recognize that more players than intended are currently finding Easy and Normal more challenging than expected. If any of you have felt that the difficulty was harsher than intended, I sincerely apologize. Stage 1 and Yozoh also went through a similar process of refinement, gradually being sharpened over time, so I would greatly appreciate your patience as we continue to improve things. At the same time, for those…

- Updated Demo v0.6 ! - 7 September 2025
Hello! At last, we were able to update many of the things that had been pointed out in your feedback :) When we first released the demo, our mindset was simply, “As long as it runs, it’s OK.” We focused on just getting something out, even if it felt lacking. But now, we’ve reached the stage where we can—and must—aim for true “release and completion.” That’s why we’ve decided it’s time to properly upgrade the game. There are tough times in making this game, but we’re grateful that we’ve been able to keep pushing forward. And it’s all thanks to you. We’ll do our best to finish it to the end! Thank you, always.Stage - Adjusted the difficulty of certain stages on Easy Boss Battles - Reduced boss HP on Easy - Added a new defeat cutscene for Stage 1 boss YozohMisc - Sound effects now stop immediately when a new one plays (prevents excessive volume buildup) - Jump height is now consistent rega…
