• Difficulty Adjustment and Fixes for Achievement/Dress-Up Issues - 13 March 2026

  We made the following adjustments and fixes: Adjusted the first boss’s attack power from 14 -> 13. Fixed an issue where the “Deprived” achievement could unlock even when only the 5th/6th crew slots were using “Deprived.” -> It now unlocks only when the captain (1st slot) is “Deprived.” Fixed an issue where selecting “Continue” reflected newly changed dress-up settings from the title screen. -> The dress-up state and stats are now correctly restored from the save point. Fixed an issue where selecting “New Game” did not reflect the latest dress-up settings. This game is designed to deliver a high-difficulty experience that is still smooth and satisfying to play solo. However, the current clear rate for the first boss is below 50%, which indicated the opening difficulty was higher than intended, so we adjusted the early-game balance. We also slightly adjusted the first boss’s attack power…

• Fixed Dress-Up Related Issues - 11 March 2026

  The following issues have been fixed: Fixed an issue where bonus rewards shown with the “Santa” dress-up were not added to the bag when claimed.

• Level 3 Balance Adjustments (Longer Drain Intervals) - 2 March 2026

  In Level 3, we aimed to create gameplay where players feel rewarded for making quick, correct decisions. However, we found that the lack of downtime (such as chances to rest and recover) created too much pressure, so we adjusted several mechanics. Main changes: Auto-drain of Hydration/Hunger now occurs only outside CAMP. Hydration auto-drain interval increased from 2s to 3s. Hunger auto-drain interval increased from 4s to 5s. Mid-boss “Kai Kitsune” HP reduced to 85 (same as Level 2).
