  We've hit 100,000 wishlists!

  It's been exactly one week since the demo launched, and today we officially passed 100,000 wishlists! We're blown away by your support—this is far beyond anything our team expected, and it's only strengthened our commitment to making this game the best it can be!Here's what we've fixed over the past week (full details in the Steam announcement):Added a character reset option to prevent characters from disappearing from the screenAdded an option to turn off the counterAdded frame rate options to reduce the load on your PCFixed a bug where the install prompt would still pop up even after uninstallingWe've also rolled out translation improvements today, so the game should feel a lot smoother. Huge thanks to the talented folks who helped with translation and proofreading—you're the best!We know there are still issues out there—black screens, installation failures, character display glitches—that are genuinely getting in the way of your experience. We're working hard on fixes, so please hang in there with us a little longer.We've seen an incredible amount of feedback across every platform. With our small team, we unfortunately can't reply to every single thoughtful message, and we're truly sorry for that. But please know that we've read every single one of them. Thank you!Just a week ago, we were anxious about wishlists. This is our first game, we had zero experience publishing indie titles, and our biggest marketing expense was hiring a studio to produce the trailer. To everyone who helped spread the word—friends, players, and gaming media alike—thank you from the bottom of our hearts.We know we've still got a long way to go, so going forward we'll be focusing our energy on development, and we're doing our best to bring you the "Custom Upload" feature in October's demo update. We may still fall behind on replying to feedback, and we hope you'll bear with us.Of course, the demo will keep getting updates, and we're fixing your reported issues as fast as we can. Stay tuned...

  New "Disable Counter" Feature & Related Notes

  Feature UpdateWe've added a \ feature. You can now turn off the keyboard/mouse counter in the settings.You can re-enable it at any time after disabling.When disabled, your character will no longer sync with your keystrokes.We want to emphasize: whether enabled or disabled, in every version, we never record what you type — the counter simply increments by 1. The demo version also has no network activity beyond Steam and the official Unity SDK.We've improved the onboarding flow: the counter feature will only be enabled after you explicitly agree to start counting.Regarding the "Uninstall Prompt After Uninstalling" IssueWe released an update and fixed this issue yesterday at 7 AM Pacific Time (UTC-7). If you uninstalled the game before then, the installation prompt may still appear after uninstalling. In this case, the only workarounds are to reinstall the game once, or manually remove the startup entry. We know this is inconvenient, but there's nothing we can do to fix it on our end once the game has been uninstalled. This was our technical mistake, and we sincerely apologize to everyone affected — especially those who have already uninstalled the game.If possible, we'd also appreciate it if players who are aware of this issue could help pass the message along to others experiencing it. Thank you so much!Our announcement yesterday mentioned the workaround for uninstalled players, but the image on Steam wasn't very clear, so we'll mention it again: open Task Manager, find the cmd.exe startup entry, and disable it (if there are multiple entries with the same name, you can identify the correct one by its command line, as shown in the image).Regarding Claims That Counting Continues After Closing the GameWe've received reports from players that the counter still counts after the game is closed, but despite repeated testing and investigation on our end, we haven't been able to reproduce it. Special thanks to player 『Ｔｏｍｏｋｕｓｈ』 for reporting this and pointing out that it migh...
