Note: the Scenes and Story sections below go into this update’s scenes and story.

New ways to play

• Free Roam mode. Explore Erik’s home (14 rooms and spaces across two floors), each with art for up to five times of day. Characters follow daily schedules, time advances as you play, and you can travel the city from a map screen.
• In-world phone and computer. Inside Free Roam, with apps for the deck builder, settings, calendar, and more.
• RPG mode (CRRPG). A custom top down mode for special events: walk the scene, talk to NPCs who patrol and react, trigger story beats, and drop into card duels. It debuts with the Jade card shop tournament.
• Character interaction hub. Click a character in Free Roam to open the interaction panel. The base is in place; Challenge to a duel works now, while Talk and Give a Gift are still under construction.

Warriors of Astral Chaos (card duel)

• Cross Draft mode added. A new draft based way to play a duel.
• SFW / NSFW art toggle. Switch the card artwork at any time.
• Assist mode. An optional helper for newer players.
• Skip story duels. Every card duel in a story event can be skipped entirely, with no penalty, so players who are here for the narrative never have to play a match.
• Full card art rework. The whole 104-card roster redrawn, with a mix of SFW and NSFW art (some cards have an NSFW variant, others stay SFW).
• A bigger roster. Dozens of new cards and several new opponent decks.
• Rebuilt presentation. Redesigned board, deck manager, collection, and Astral Codex, plus a new card draw animation, initiative dice, and owner tinted frames.
• Patron Edition cards. A dedicated set (“Mecha Pilots” this cycle, 12 cards) redeemable in game with an Activation Code.

New systems

• Character Journal. Tracks the heroines you have met, their relationship tier, and a Main Story accordion that updates as you progress.
• Progression tiers. Distant, Acquaintance, Friend, Confidant, Lover.
• Weekly Calendar. Shows where each character is by day and time of day, with a Today and a Week view.
• Quests and notifications. On screen objectives and toast notifications that adapt to the mode you are in.

Art and audio

• 123 new scene images that build the cinematic scenes (sequential shots and expression variants), across 9 scene sequences.
• 11 new animations for the adult and story scenes.
• 97 new character sprites (expressions and poses) for Nova, Erik, Lily, Vyra, Elena, Zorgus, Kraxo, and Hank. Valerie, Jade, Iris, Elliot, and Bianca also get their first sprite for Free Roam.
• Backgrounds for Erik’s home: 14 rooms and spaces across two floors, each with art for up to five times of day.
• The Dragon Flame card shop in Free Roam (VN mode): 3 interior rooms, the Counter, the Card Room, and the Storage room.
• The Siren Song Cafe facade.
• About 15 new music tracks for the chapters, the card shop, the city map, and the character scenes.
• About 30 new sound effects for the interface, the RPG mode, notifications, and the visual novel choices.

Localization

• 11 languages. The full update is localized into English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indonesian.
• A runtime fix so every interface label, journal name, and card term shows in the selected language, with consistent character names across all locales.

Interface and UX

• Redesigned main menu, preferences, and save / load, with a flag based language picker.
• New control kit: confirm, skip, quick menu, in scene dialogue panel, and name plate.
• Thank you screen for Patreon supporters.
• Redesigned 18+ disclaimer.
• Dialogue preferences (text opacity, size, outline) with a live preview.
• Version thank you screen at the end of the current content.

Bug fixes and quality of life

• Background fill system so source art always fills the screen cleanly.
• Language switching at runtime now updates fonts, quests, journal names, and card terms correctly, with no leftover squares on non Latin scripts.
• Save and load safeguards across the new modes (Free Roam state, phone, mid event RPG state, and card duel).
• Many pacing, overflow, and continuity fixes across the prologue and both chapters.
