Hello, community!

We are excited to share a major update for the Lost Traces: False Awakening Demo. This is more than just a patch—it’s a foundational leap forward, bringing the demo environment closer than ever to the quality and vision of the final game, Lost Traces: Genesis.

We've been hard at work optimizing the demo and have implemented significant technical and content changes based on player feedback and our ongoing development progress.

---

The biggest change is a complete internal renovation. We have successfully upgraded the demo to the latest Unreal Engine 5.4. This upgrade immediately delivers a more stable foundation and unlocks next-generation visual fidelity.

• Next-Gen Lighting System: We have introduced an entirely new lighting pipeline, leveraging UE 5.4’s capabilities. You will experience deeper shadows, more realistic volumetric fog, and dramatically improved atmosphere, making Evelyn's descent into her nightmare more immersive and terrifying.

• Performance Improvements: The engine change includes numerous optimizations intended to improve stability and overall framerate.

---

Beyond the technical upgrades, we have fine-tuned the content of the demo to ensure it accurately reflects the direction of the full title:

• Updated Maps: Environments have been significantly updated to reflect the layout and detail of the final game's maps.

• Story Alignment: The narrative segments and collectible documents have been reviewed and updated to fully align with the final, canonical story of the Lost Traces Saga, ensuring that the demo acts as a true prelude to Lost Traces: Genesis.

• Generic Fixes & Minor Changes: We've addressed numerous smaller issues, including bug fixes, collision adjustments, and minor usability improvements throughout the demo.

---

We want to reassure our community that the development of the full commercial game, Lost Traces: Genesis, is progressing smoothly and on track.

The work done in this demo update—especially the transition to Unreal Engine 5.4 and the implementation of the new lighting—is directly feeding into the core development of the full game, ensuring a high-quality and consistent experience at launch.

Moving forward, the False Awakening Demo will continue to receive more polish and fixes. We are committed to making this demo the best representation of our vision, and we encourage you to continue sharing your bug reports, feedback, and suggestions in the Community Hub—your input is invaluable in shaping the final product.

Thank you for your support! We hope you enjoy the terrifying new look of the demo.

Hello everyone, this is a quick security patch to follow rules outlined by Unity themselves regarding a recent discovery that basically every Unity version since 2017 was borked with some kind of exploit potential. This patch doesn't change anything gameplay related it's just a patch of the UnityPlayer.dll itself.

If you are curious about the situation you can check out the post on Unity's website here:

Long time ago, the Four Aegises created countless worlds which exist in parallel universes. The mysterious Day of Full Verima stretches the barriers of this multiverse thin, so lots of miracles are about to happen. Princess Beexen concealed a pact with the forces of primordial darkness in a desperate attempt to restore justice and claim her father’s throne which had to be rightfully hers. However, the price of the crown was too high. As a Herald of the First primordial phantom of darkness Tai-Ahnara, she was ordered to lead their armies to conquer the shattered and devastated world of Dreamstead and spread the raging war even beyond its boundaries.

New adventures await! Help Azaries to survive in the brand-new unknown and still so familiar world! Find out more about the mythology and traditions of Nanraas, recruit new powerful allies to assist you in the battles versus new horrifying foes, uncover the bitter truth and make your way back home!

This small VN is a FREE Expansion Set available to everyone who purchased a copy of Heralds of the Avirentes Ch 1: Wings of Change!

Main Features:

1) This is a standalone complete story with several possible endings.

2) This story is more linear than HotA, but player’s action sill greatly impact the main characters and, depending on playstyle and options chosen, will trigger one of three possible endings.

3) The Beexen’s Tale Expansion Set offers up to 4 hours of intense, content-packed, plot-oriented gameplay. Duration of an average playthrough depends on such factors as player’s level of immersion (e.g. whether you skip or read dialogs, try different routes, choose alternative options, etc.), battles difficulty level (“Story mode” allow to skip battles entirely), map exploration pattens and other.

4) Beat the expansion and get juiced in the main game! For fulfilling certain goals such as winning battles, saving/killing certain characters, unlocking endings, finding alternative routes and so on, you will get juicy rewards in Heralds of the Avirentes! These rewards will include artifacts, expendables, buffs, and even combat buddies! We won’t publish a full list of rewards and ways how to get them to keep you motivated to explore the world of Dreamsted at your own pace!

5) We strongly recommend trying out the main game first to avoid lore gaps as well as getting to know the original characters better.

6) Around a dozen new characters to interact with!

7) The game offers an optional interspecies romance route.

8) Unlike original game, The Beexen’s Tale is a much darker story with grimmer noir-like narration. No character is safe until the very end of the tale!

9) New, tuned and upgraded combat system offers more dynamic real-time-like approach. We’re planning to add a special Story Mode in the future, that skips battles entirely for those who are not into combat. However, you may not obtain certain bonuses and/or rewards in the main game.

Disclaimer: this VN contains certain NSFW elements such as artistic nudity (all within the framework of Ukrainian legislation, we consulted with a lawyer), sexual innuendo, scenes with blood and violence, as well as depiction of characters’ inner suffering and painful self-reflection, which may cause discomfort in vulnerable players. Therefore, the expansion has a higher age rating than the base game.

The release of the Expansion Set is scheduled for October 29, however, due to blackouts the actual release date is subject to change. Nonetheless, The Beexen’s Tale will be released no later than October 31.
