Hi.
Happy New Year everyone!


The release is getting closer and I will report about the recent progress of the game :3
There are some changes I decided and some bugs fixing that I need to finish in past few weeks, therefore I apology for the lateness of the update.

ːreginaːCurrent Progressːreginaː


All finished beside things below:
English Version Beta Testing: 50%
Japanese Version Beta Confirmation (Bugs have been fixed, but need one more time final confirmation)
Voice: 93% (stuff to retake only)

ːjuliːWhat Will Be Changedːjuliː



  • In-game singing movie will be removed.

This is formerly something I planned to add if the crowdfunding was successful. Sadly, it was failed. I was thinking to push myself to keep the in-game additional movie (Myana singing scene like in the previous game), but it takes more workload than what I've imagined. Based on the beta test result, there is nothing weird even if there's no in-game singing movie. Therefore I decided to go on without it.

  • In-game term: Research institute chief > Research institute director.
Some people told me that "chief" is usually only used within military related institute. That's why the term "chief" here will be changed by "director". I believe you might have seen the same word too at the previous games, and they will be fixed as well later.

  • Button sound will only be played when you click the button.
I have already tried to fix the annoying button sounds at HTFALK, but I still got a feedback that it's still bothering when the mouse pointer accidentally hovers a button. Now you will only hear the sound when you click the button.

  • "Continue to the next chapter?" message now will only appear for a moment then automatically forward you to the next chapter.

The message now will not ask you to choose, but after showing the current stat, it will forward to the next chapters automatically and won't bother your auto mode.

ːliliaːNew Demoːliliaː


So, as the result of the beta test, there will be a slight change in the demo, like the line breaks, and some new term. A new demo will be ready in a few days. Although, there will be no difference in the story. Just a slight change to make the flows better. Also, extras menu will be updated with locked images or music that will be unlocked later in the full version.

ːkingjuliːA Week and Few Days Before the Releaseːkingjuliː


Are you ready?
To be honest I'm very nervous at this moment.
There is no major bug as far, and I hope it would be smooth until the release ><
It still takes a while, but I'll do my best!
And last...


Wait... what is this place? 😗😗😗
Be sure to find more about it within the game~❤

Hi again ːbluestarː
This time I want to talk more about the next route, the "Teamwork Route" within the game.

ːreginaːCurrent Progressːreginaː


All finished beside things below:
Japanese Beta Test: 50%
In-game Movie: 0%
English Version Programming: 30%
Voice: 90% (stuff to retake only)

ːliliaːTeamwork Routeːliliaː


The Teamwork route is the other route within the game, which is a bit longer than the other one.
The route is started with the disappearance of the black cat, which force Myana to solve her problems with the help from the other characters.
The relationship between Myana and Ludovic will develop eventually while she tries to find out the secret of the research institute.

ːleeaːPrincess Annaːleeaː


Myana will meet Princess Anna more within this route.
As someone who belongs to the research institute, she might hide something which is related to the luccretias.

ːjuliːThe Research Centerːjuliː


Myana will visit the research center for the first time within this route.
Sadly, the documents and research here are way too complicated, that might be hard to understand for people who have no relation with the research.
