⚠ SPOILER WARNING ⚠ The Scenes and Story spoilers below go into this update’s scenes and story; open them only if you do not mind. Saves from v0.2.0.0 are compatible. Every story duel can be skipped with no penalty.

Dating

• Dates are in. Invite a heroine from the character panel in Free Roam and spend the evening together: two activities per date, and how it goes shapes how she feels about Erik afterwards. The Journal now tracks that with sub-levels inside each relationship tier.
• Starlight Pier is the first date location: a boardwalk at night with lights, music of its own, and two attractions.
• Shooting Gallery: a boardwalk range with moving targets and a scoreboard that Bianca will not let you forget.
• Haunted House, “The Last Guest”: a walk-through horror story where you choose your guide and there is more than one way out.
• Bianca is the first heroine you can date. More of them, and places of their own, are coming in the next updates.

Warriors of Astral Chaos (card duel)

• Blitz mode. A fast 3×3 variant of the duel. It debuts with Bianca and unlocks as a friendly mode afterwards.
• Crimson Colosseum: 12 new cards join the game, gladiators, beasts and arena queens, and they show up in Bianca’s decks.
• Velvet Casino: this cycle’s Patron Edition set, 12 cards, redeemable in game with an activation code.

The world outside the house

• A rebuilt city map with real art for every building, in the hand-drawn style of the rest of the world.
• 7 new places: Saint Aurora Hospital, Jade’s house, Harper’s house, the mall, the university, Starlight Pier and the park, with facades that change with the time of day.
• The phone can chat. A Contacts app with conversations, search and sorting; some characters will text you first.
• A school term. After the summer, every character follows a weekday schedule, and the calendar shows it.
• Events that find you. Some scenes now trigger when you arrive somewhere at the right time of day, and the Journal keeps a “Next steps” and “Completed events” list per heroine.

Art and audio

• More than 470 new scene images across the three arcs and the side stories, with close-ups, inserts and reaction shots.
• 8 new animations: the music video, two cinematics in the town battle, Jade’s closet, the campus intro, and the fitting room.
• 80 new character sprites: Bianca’s date look with a full range of expressions, plus new poses and expressions for Erik, Nova/Nia and Jade.
• New faces: Dr. Hale, coach Riley, Harper, Tyler and Jason, Josefina, Douglas, Kessa, the four members of the Intergalactic Council, and a few you will meet on your own.
• 16 new music tracks: the Council, the town battle, Jade’s house, the extraction, the mall, the university, the pier, the two minigames, the Ferris wheel, and the song. The soundtrack, including “Built in the Fire”, is out on music streaming platforms.
• About 30 new sound effects for the minigames, the phone, the map and the interface.
• Live VFX: Kraxo’s holographic scanner, a midnight sky with stars, torchlight in a certain castle hall.

Interface and UX

• Vesper. Someone from the studio greets you before the story starts. Be nice to him.
• Lyrics toggle for the music videos, in 10 languages, synced word by word.
• Journal: heroine events, sub-level hearts, and a Main Story that grows with the update.
• A refreshed 18+ and fiction disclaimer, localized.
• Location unlocked notifications when a new place joins the map.

Bug fixes and quality of life

• The prologue got new art. The park and the desert scenes were redrawn with new backgrounds, so the opening finally looks like the rest of the game.
• Refreshed avatars for the main cast, with new expression sets, from the prologue onward.
• Card preview. Tap any card in the collection or the deck builder to see it full size.
• Quick travel. A drawer on the city map lets you jump between unlocked places without going back to the map.
• Journal: completed events are listed newest first, and every scene returns you to Free Roam with a clean fade.
• Save migration from the previous update: your progress, your cards and your Free Roam state carry over.
• Journal and calendar names now show in the selected language on every screen, with consistent character names across all locales.
• Continuity and timeline fixes across the prologue and the first two arcs, plus dozens of pacing and overflow fixes in every language.
• A lighter build: unused files were cleaned out of the game.
