  Demo Ver. Bug Fix 0.231. The clock has been removed and replaced with scissors.We felt the clock mechanic did not fit the progression of the game, so it has been replaced with scissors.The wrong-answer penalty has also been adjusted.Previously, each wrong answer would immediately send the player to "Limbo." Now, players will only fall into Limbo after 3 wrong answers.2. Revisited dreams now contain small changes.When replaying a dream you've already experienced, some dialogue and artwork may appear differently.In dreams with lengthy conversations before choices appear, certain sections can now be skipped.Future dreams will also be designed in a similar direction.3.

The early-game structure has been reorganized.Like the original demo version, the game now encourages progression in the following order:Penguin Story → Prologue → Spaceship → ExplorationAdditional dialogue has also been added when certain locations become available, in order to make the intended progression feel more natural.5.
