■ Update Details

We have worked with the developer to fix the issues reported by players and have released Ver.1.38.

■ Fixed Issues

① Fixed missing image bug
(Error message: Failed to load img/pictures/MapInfo2_1_zh_CN.png)

② Fixed the "Vibrator-related (バイブ系)" defeat H-scene bug
When the player does not escape and lets the defeat scene play fully,
the purple Escaping Gauge would remain on screen and not disappear.

③ Fixed the softlock issue in the bar support scene
While helping in the bar, if the adventurer starts talking about
“the girl exposing her chest,” the game would freeze after the dialogue and no further actions could be performed.

■ Issues Under Investigation

We are still reviewing other bug reports from players and will continue coordinating with the developer to address them.
If you encounter additional issues, please consider helping us by providing information through the following channels:

📣 Discord Bug Report Channel (screenshots and save files welcome)

Hi everyone, in this diary I would like to share new news related to game development and other things!

First of all, I would like to announce the creation of Discord server, where I will be able to post more news and information on the development of my game. Also on this server you will be able to personally communicate with me and other participants. Server I will launch in the near future soon and will make a special an announcement.

Continuing with the social media theme. I'm working on creating a YouTube channel where I will also have videos and news about development and more!

Now about the game. This week I've been polishing and improving existing mechanics. In particular, I've been working on improving the building system to make it more user-friendly, intuitive and enjoyable. Also fixed a few bugs, also related to the building system. Made the basis for in-game economy. Writing off money for wages, building items, foundations, walls, etc.

I'll keep you posted, thanks for following the project! See you soon!

We took all your feedback into account and we're confident on applying the last finishing touches on everything to release on 12/12/2025.

We are quite excited to see you play it and we really hope you'll enjoy it!

PS : We're preparing a demo update with some new secrets and bug fixes, we'll keep you updated.

PROHIBEAST, EONA, CINESCAPE VR and SKY LEGENDS will be palyable at the Game'In Reims festival, on 22 and 23 of novembre, at the SUPER AC booth !
