The chapter introduces a top-down perspective exploration system, a departure from the visual novel format the game previously used, and was released in three parts over three weeks: the first on September 17, the second on September 24, and the third on October 1. Within 24 hours of the third part's release, the Steam version reached 151,455 peak concurrent players as of around 17:00, according to the unofficial database SteamDB. That figure is second only to the all-time high of 157,444 recorded on July 9 during the game's 9th Walpurgis Night event. Chapter 10 can be accessed early by clearing Chapter 1, a design choice intended to let new players experience the new exploration system sooner. A September 24 update also adjusted enemy attack speed in specific stages, shortened input delay, and added a key-rebinding feature for the Steam version.","whyItMatters":"The 151,455 peak sits just 5,989 players below the all-time record set in July, suggesting the Chapter 10 rollout has drawn the game's second-largest audience without a limited-time event driving it.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe surge arrived in three steps.
