Hello everyone,

Thank you playing The Use of Life!
We have updated the game to Ver.0.5.07, Here are the bug fixes and changes.

◆ Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused the screen-shaking effect that occurs during events to carry over to the next event if the event was fast-forwarded through.
Fixed a bug in Chapter 3 that caused Elyon to think that you killed his warriors even if you didn't.
Fixed a bug in Chapter 4 that triggered the wrong dialogue choice when Goshe is asked whether he's afraid of death while his flame of strength is relatively high.
Relatedly, fixed a bug in Chapter 4 that triggered the wrong text during the same conversation under the same conditions.
Fixed a bug in Chapter 4 where the stargazing illustration wasn't displayed when Goshe reminisces about his time with Misha while his flame of life is relatively high.
Fixed a bug in the survival route of Chapter 5 where choosing not to fight after triggering the paralyzing bowgun trap would cause the boss' paralysis status ailment to carry over to the next battle.
Fixed a bug in the survival route of Chapter 5 where the list of items received during random ★ item events appeared to have a blank space between the second and third items.

◆ Event Adjustments

Made Goshe more expressive in the dining hall event in Chapter 1.
Changed the sound effect that plays when your barrier is shattered in the sandstorm in Chapter 3.
Edited some of the text in Chapter 3.
Changed the item rewards you can choose from in the burning desert event in Chapter 3. (Frost Orb x3→Barrier Device x1; Calamity Orb x3→Glacial Orb x1)
Added an option to the burning ruins event in Chapter 3 that allows you to nullify the damage caused by collapsing rubble by activating a barrier device.
You now have a lower chance of encountering events that cause damage in the burning ruins event in Chapter 3 if you could successfully hold a conversation with the Kangah-Rooh before entering.
Changed some of Misha's expressions in the event where you walk across the narrow bones in Chapter 4.
When Suu describes the three heroes in Chapter 4, illustrations of each hero are now displayed alongside the descriptions.
If Goshe is not particularly attached to either your clan or Misha in Chapter 4, his flame of life will now decrease by 2.
Removed Misha's portrait from the event in Chapter 4 where Goshe reminisces about his clan.
