Hey book lovers, In this patch, I updated and improved several parts of the game: Reworked parts of the lighting, models, and UI in the main menu to make it look cleaner and more atmospheric. Switching between old and new floors should now feel much smoother, without the strange
Hey everyone, this is a small technical update for the game. With this patch, the project has been updated to Unity 6.5 to keep the game engine version up to date and make use of the latest improvements, fixes, and optimizations that come with it. There are no major content chang
Hey book lovers, In this patch, I removed all the AI voices previously used in the game and replaced them with real voice actors. A huge thank you to Seamus and Madison Bishop for their fantastic work! I started my game development journey as a hobby with no budget. It’s still a
Hey Bookfriends, this update contains a small performance and optimization patch. I removed unnecessary elements from the scene, made some graphical optimizations, and reduced the size of large textures that were used on small or mostly hidden objects. Have a great week! Struggle
Hey Book Lovers, In this small patch, I continued working on the game's performance, this time by optimising the light and shadow calculations. Previously, around 1,500 shadows were calculated at once, but the trouble was that many of these shadows weren't even possible due to wa
Hey everyone, In this patch, I made a lot of performance optimizations! On my PC, the FPS increased by around 30–40 frames. What changed? One big improvement is that there used to be a lot of individual 3D assets, for example, every single book on a shelf was a separate object. N
Hey everyone, With the last update, I made some optimizations to how things are loaded more asynchronously during floor changes. However, for some anomalies, for example: "The fast-ticking clock" this caused a bug where the anomaly logic wasn’t applied correctly. I had missed a d

Hey book lovers, With this small update, I’ve improved the game’s performance a bit. There are still some lags here and there, but they should be much less noticeable now. I changed how things are loaded during floor transitions. Previously, the game tried to load and remove ever

Hey! I’ve reworked the lighting and graphics to enhance the atmosphere and shift the tone away from bright and cheerful. I’ve adjusted the overall lighting and visual style to create a gloomier look, which better reflecting the setting of a mysterious, repetitive dream. I’ve also
Hey everyone, With this update, we fixed a bug that caused Korean, Japanese, and Chinese characters to display incorrectly. Additionally, we’ve added the option to manually change the language in the settings. By default, the language will still match your system's settings. We’v
Hi everyone, I just realized that the fonts for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese have been broken for a while. I'm really sorry it took me so long to notice. Instead of showing proper characters, the game was displaying rectangles or random glyphs. I'm working on a fix. Thanks so mu
