— In a distant future, the world has perished under war and pollution.
To preserve themselves, humans built the “Ark” and created artificial beings—near-human in form, yet inevitably flawed in emotion.
Among them is Yuu, a gentle maid who serves the “King of Jin.” Though incapable of sorrow, she is loved by many for her warmth and dedication. Her greatest wish is to see her king smile.
But when humanity’s cruelty sends her to the perilous world beyond the Ark to gather resources, the King of Jin must make a fateful decision.

Uncover the untold chapter of the Ark.

Very small hotfix, primarily to address a persistent issue where artillery isn’t listening to orders. Larger patch coming out at the end of the week.

- More fixes to artillery, specifically artillery getting stuck and becoming unresponsive to new commands

- More widescreen support added, improved the sides of the screen with a floral pattern and silver UI vertical bars
- UI improvements to text in popup windows, sometimes text would spill out of the panel

- UI improvements to elements moving based on screen resolution, such as the upgrade chevron moving outside of the window.

- More localization improvements, and localized the credits screen
