Multiplayer Mode has been released. Although we tried our best to test the online features and fix all the bugs. But due to our lack of staff, we cannot guarantee the game is bug-free. So please leave comments here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/747200/discussions/0/2520275467409534854/ and let us know if there is any bug that you come across in the game, we will try to fix them as soon as possible.

Due to the workload and the language barriers, we can’t reply to all of your messages one by one, but we can guarantee that all your messages will be seen. Thank you for all of your understandings and supports!!

New Contents:
