We’re releasing a bugfix that addresses an issue encountered by some players.
When time was skipped too frequently, and one storyline overlapped with another — creating a situation where two storylines were supposed to start in the same location — an error occurred while opening the phone dialogue.

We’ve fixed this issue.
Download the bugfix from the attached files, extract it, and copy it into your game folder.
If you’re not sure how to do this correctly, you can simply download the full game again — all links have been updated, and the bugfix is already included.

So, let’s begin…

First of all, we highly recommend that you start a new game. Old saves will still work, but we’ve added several animations to earlier parts (4 new animations), improved sound effects, added new music, changed some images, fixed existing bugs, updated the interface in the virtual world, and made many other improvements.

And now, let’s talk about what was added in the new version — apart from the new story content, of course:

What’s New in 0.16

1. New music — more fitting for the game, added to both worlds.
2. New sound effects for various moments.
3. Updated dialogue window interface for character conversations.
4. Phone sounds when receiving and sending messages.
5. Open world added — now you can visit all locations (some are still empty, but content will be added there).
6. Quest menu introduced in the real world.
7. Weekday system and day/night cycle implemented.
8. New renders for different times of day in both worlds.
9. Portal to WE now available at any time in the protagonist’s room.
10. Alchemy menu added.
11. Abilities menu added.
12. Inventory menu added for the fantasy world.
13. Notification window redesigned, now appearing in the upper-left corner.
14. Various new icons for fantasy world locations.
15. New cursors added and old ones updated throughout the game.

✨ This update not only expands the story but also brings a ton of gameplay and quality-of-life improvements.
We hope you enjoy exploring the new features — and don’t forget to start a fresh playthrough for the full experience!
