< Exploration System Overhaul >

The most common feedback was that backtracking during exploration felt tedious, so I have completely overhauled the map and exploration systems.

You can now preview the map during the mission review stage and examine routes in advance based on the positions of objects.

You can also choose an exploration plan that passes through campsites more often for a safer run, or one that passes through more treasure chests to secure additional resources.

The sub-mission system is currently disabled. After reviewing feedback on the new map and exploration structure, I will decide what kind of sub-missions would be the most interesting going forward.

< Added Enemy Detail View >

Many players said that it was difficult to plan strategically without being able to see enemy intent clearly.

I also considered adding a simplified intent indicator above enemies or below the action timeline, but decided against it because many enemies act twice in a single turn.

Instead, I added a detailed view that lets you check each enemy’s skill list, usage conditions, and effects. I expect this to help players assess combat situations more accurately and respond accordingly.

Due to major changes to the quest data and map structure, previous save files can no longer be used to continue playing.

I made efforts to preserve compatibility with existing saves, but was unable to do so in a stable and reliable way.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

To help returning players get back in more quickly, the Prologue Skip feature is available.
