Hello, this is the development team.
Thank you for playing "Sofia in Exchange for Lies".
This update introduces the much-requested Advance the Date feature.
We’ve also fixed an issue where certain questions could not be asked when playing in English or Simplified Chinese.
In addition, several other updates have been made to improve overall gameplay.
■ New Feature
A new system has been added to allow players to advance to the next day.
During a second playthrough, entering the keyword "Change date" in the Talk Screen will display the option to proceed to the next day.
■ Adjustments
The following changes have been made to improve playability:
● Added hints to certain blocks in the Keyword Map
● Added some keywords to appear as hints in the Log Screen
● Adjusted hint display in the Question Screen and Keyword Map
● Extended the camera's left-right movement range for better room visibility
● Increased the occurrence rate of some conversations to make specific gifts easier to give
● Adjusted volume for certain voice lines to improve clarity
● Updated the layout of some keywords in the Keyword Map
■ Bug Fixes
The following issues have been fixed:
● Some keywords were not recognized correctly in the English and Simplified Chinese versions
Affected keyword: "Strict"
● Some Keyword Map text differed from the actual dialogue
Examples:
- Incorrect: He even sent a picture. → Correct: He even sent a photo.

● Story scenes could be skipped under certain conditions
● Incorrect events could play under specific conditions
● Some keywords in the Keyword Map could remain locked under certain conditions

■ Known Issues
We have confirmed the following known issues:

Please refer to the following announcement for more information:
● In certain scenes, even when the "Change Date" event plays, the date does not actually change

All of these issues are scheduled to be fixed in the next update.
