✨ Polish / Quality of Life
- PC-Only – Right Click to Go Back: Now, you can right-click to go back on all menus, including every menu in the Party Menu, Shop menus, Battle menus, and more.
- Rank Requirements for each minigame now displayed in the Records menu when signing up for a minigame. This transparency will allow players to make better decisions as to what rank to gamble for.
- New Hold to Mash UI appears in Tsuri (Fishing) and the Escaping Combat (Nigeru) if enabled, reminding the player what their active setting is.
- You can now sell and store Ingredients at Kurozushi after reaching Town 2.
- You can now use R3 / CTRL to cycle between all four displays (English, Japanese, Furigana, Romaji). This has resulted in various keybind remapping.
- R3 / CTRL Keybind Change: Z / Square / X (Xbox) to change active hero in Kanakae Equip.
- R3 / CTRL Keybind Change: Z / Square / X (Xbox) to change View Category in Kanban Menu.
- R3 / CTRL Keybind Change: Z / Square / X (Xbox) to swap between Armor and Weapons in Daisuke’s Mokubukiya.
- R3 / CTRL Keybind Change: Tab / Triangle / Y (Xbox) to change to List View in the Arawasu Skill Tree menu.
- R3 / CTRL Keybind Change: The Battle Sequence Log keybind remains as R3 / CTRL, and the 4-display cycle system will only trigger when looking at a Battle menu that has different text to display, such as the Items submenu.

📝 Our Biggest Priorities
- PS5 Save Data Transfer from Demo to Full Game (optional for those who want to use it).
- There seems to be an issue with Steam Cloud for many users.
- We are still working on further optimizing the PS4 version.
- We are still working on fixing the displays for ultrawide monitors.
- Investigating the Tsuri (Fishing) minigame input issue on some PCs.
- Loading Lore Menu in the Party Menu (Lexicon) is in development.
- D-pad movement, especially with controller, as well as keyboard-only movement, can be slow and laggy, and not fun for dungeon-crawlers who are more accustomed to D-pad movement (instead of the L-stick, which currently is the smoothest working solution).
- We want to add a “Fast-Forward” (by holding a certain key) to some minigames so that they can be played and progressed through more quickly.
- BUG: Using To Protect on an enemy that uses a group-wide attack can cause stalling issues in-game.
- BUG: An enemy that attempts to heal an enemy that decides to escape that exact turn can cause stalling issues in-game.
- BUG: Some players are running into an input error causing harmless errors on Steam Deck, but the error seems to be Unity package-related instead of being Shujinkou-related.
- BUG: At least one player ran into an issue when starting a random encounter. It seems very rare and isolated, and we’re looking into the issue.
- BUG: Lighting issues (areas are too bright) for a small subset of computers, specifically in labyrinths during Dusk and Night (sometimes Dawn), but also sometimes on the Nation Map.
- Note: We are aware that there’s a syncing input issue in the Item Compendium if the player spams R3 too quickly and will address this for v1.33.
❤️ Thank you!
As always, thank you for playing! Our team will be getting into marketing mode once a couple more important issues have been ironed out. Expect announcements for cool things in the coming weeks!
