Demo Version 2 is now available.

We previously announced that the updated demo would return around mid-September. However, validation and debugging—including checks around save-data carryover—took longer than expected. We apologize to everyone who had been waiting for an earlier release in mid-September, and for keeping you waiting until September 19.

Version 2 adds character animation such as blinking and lip-sync, alongside improvements to the underlying systems. We have also refined the smaller details so that it is easier to settle into the story.

## Important: Save-Data Carryover

Due to these underlying system changes, the following save data cannot be carried over:

- **Demo Version 1 → Demo Version 2:** Save data cannot be carried over. If you have already played Version 1, please begin again from the start in Version 2.
- **Current Full Version 1 → the full release planned for the future:** Save data cannot be carried over.

We apologize for the inconvenience; these changes are necessary for this update and the future full release.

We hope you enjoy the updated demo. If you have thoughts to share or encounter anything that concerns you, please let us know through the Steam Community.

Thank you for continuing to follow *Tokioriki*.
