The update adds smartphone play, a feature the developer says players had requested repeatedly, plus one new hidden ending and 103 new story branches. Endings now total six, split between four normal and two hidden. The total branch count stands at 544. The game's hook is that players write any single character onto the buttons that set the hero's actions, and that one character redirects the story; the developer cites examples like turning a strong-looking opponent into an item or a plain cut into something sharper. The same announcement confirmed that Steam wishlist registrations for the paid complete version passed 10,000. That version is scheduled for 2027 on Windows and Mac, with a price planned around a few hundred yen. The free unityroom release has passed 680,000 page views.","whyItMatters":"The team used a wishlist milestone on an unreleased paid version to push a free browser build onto phones, aiming the update at the players who said they had no PC to run it on.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe complete version was first announced in August 2026, when the unityroom release had passed 530,000 page views and a promotional video went out alongside the Steam store page going live.
