Dear Fireflies!

Thank you very much for all the valuable suggestions given during testing. Based on the most common suggestions, we have made changes and optimizations to the game's next version.
It will be the last total data wipe this time.
The official version is expected to be launched on the same day. You need to re-download and re-install the game to fully experience it. Thank you for your continued support of Lost Light and valuable feedback. We look forward to seeing you in the new season!
