Early access has been launched! ːsteamhappyː
First of all, thank you so much to everyone who participated in three closed betas and visitors came all the way to game shows to cheer us up. Also all the kind words you guys sent us via email is what drove us to come to today.
Notes for those who played the demo
Existing play files may conflict with the current build.
Be sure to play with 'New Game'!
Introducing the Early Access Version
In this early access version, we include 3 main regions out of 6 regions(Jungle, Moon Forest, Desert) and a few other areas to explore.
Main Region (Main questline areas where you obtain the Sigils)
- Jungle
- Moon Forest
- Desert
- Jungle Outskirt
- Northern Central Forest

Difference To Demo Build
You can find a lot of contents added to the early access build unlike the demo version.
1. Adventure Journal
Through ‘Adventure Journal’, you can see the progress of your gameplay and also see the collected items such as hats, cooked dishes, bugs, fish and etcetera.
2. Housing
Basement of Hero’s House located in the Village of the Sun is now decoratable to your liking.
The additional furniture and decorating pieces can be obtained through completing a quest or making new friends.
3. Vast Environmental Changes
There are some visual additions to vegetation of the world. Some react to Baby Ogu’s interaction. Not only that, there are random encounters like natural birds and packed venders. Explore the Secret Forest and observe the world as it responds to you!
Plans for the Future
There will be weekly development news and every 2~3 months we’ll have major updates, mainly the 3 other main regions of the game.
Please check out the Early Access Roadmap below! This is also on the main page of our steam store page!
The order of the main updates are as follows.
- Harbor Town and Southern Central Forest
- Snow Town and Southwest Central Forest
- Sea Region
- Center of the Central Forest (All area name is pending)
Other than these planned areas, we also plan to add more areas to the existing regions. We are open to ideas from you as well. If you enjoy a certain content and it is received well, we’ll focus on enhancing the experience by building more on it. We wish to have a flexible development path.
We’re always open to listen to you. Share your bug reports or ideas for the game through the steam community page and our discord!
