I have updated to v1.9.0. With this update, I have added support for UI navigation using a gamepad, allowing players to control the entire game using only the gamepad.

Changes

- Changed the aiming camera action to a hold-style from a toggle-style. This is now similar to the aiming action in typical FPS games. You can revert to the original toggle-style in the settings menu. - Significantly revised the button mapping for the gamepad. - UI 　- Modified the UI for gamepad navigation. 　- Added sound effects to the UI. 　- Introduced guide buttons for actions on necessary screens.

Achievable by pressing the right stick.

About Control Devices

This game does not have full compatibility with gamepads. (Hence, "Full Controller Support" is not indicated on the store page.) Especially in the menu screen, some operations may not be possible with a gamepad. For an optimal gaming experience, I recommend using a keyboard and mouse.

- Added a motion blur intensity setting to the configuration screen. Setting the intensity to 0 may alleviate 3D motion sickness. - Fixed a bug where the picture disappears when the player comes into contact with it. - Reordered the staff roll credits. - Improved the anomaly where the water surface now ripples slightly.

- Fixed the light switch. Adjusted the size of the collision for interaction. - Fixed the clocks in the prologue and epilogue. Resolved the bug causing a mismatch between the digital and analog clocks. - Staff Roll: 　- Adjusted scroll speed. 　- Changed the music to ambient sound. 　- Fixed it to automatically end without pressing Enter.

I have updated to v1.8.0. - Prologue Scene 　- Added a marker to the curtain to make the balcony noticeable. 　- Adjusted the sound when displaying the task list to be less intrusive. - Epilogue Scene 　- Modified the document. 　- Updated the event on going outside when all anomalies have been captured.

I have updated to v1.7.0. - The game progress can now be saved. By choosing "Save and return to title" from the pause menu, a button labeled "Revert" will appear on the title menu. Choosing this allows you to continue the game from where you left off. - Removed the protagonist's monologue in the prologue and replaced it with a display of tasks. The modification aims to prevent the monologue from interfering with the player's immersion in the game. - Anomalies' Names 　- Rename from "Cue" to "Cue-chan." ("Chan" is a Japanese suffix indicating affection in nicknames) 　- Capitalization adjustments for English representation. - Removed the flashlight next to the TV in the epilogue wake-up event. - Environment 　- Changed the default state of the TV to off. 　- Improved the handle of the refrigerator. 　- Added a ventilation fan in the kitchen. 　- Corrected the shape of the bath bucket. - Anomalies (Warning: Spoilers) 　- Handprint 　　- Enhanced presentation (voice). 　　- Improved materials. 　　- Opens the door upon completion. 　- Improved the quality of the effect to show/hide handprints on the floor and ceiling. 　- Adjusted the conspicuousness of the anomaly in the closet by modifying the bending degree. 　- After capturing the boy, fixed it to leave the capturable spot even after the boy disappears. 　- Added falling sound for the spider-bath-chair. 　- Fixed the polygon of the water surface on the washbasin that was protruding.

I updated to version 1.6.0. - Revision of the names of anomalies - Fixed a bug where you could interact with objects in the room (curtains, a note) through the window. - Environment: 　- Added handles to the shoebox. - Anomalies (spoiler alert): 　- Refining the effects of anomalies related to the boy. 　- Fixed a basin anomaly (due to changes in v1.3.0 making it too easy).

I updated to version 1.5.0. - Improvements for first-time players: 　- Added markers to several interactable objects to make it clear to first-time players that interaction is possible. - Bug fix: The clock's hour and minute hands in the prologue scene were not advancing. - Removed rotational sway from head bobbing (to prevent motion sickness). - Added an explanation of "Head Bob" (Japanese only). - Removed the flashlight next to the TV upon waking up. - Environment updates: 　- Added ventilation fans to the bathroom and toilet room. 　- Adjusted the size of the mirror in the bathroom. 　- Adjusted the material of the mirror. - Anomaly fixes (spoiler alert): 　- Enhanced the effect of a certain anomaly in the closet.

I have updated to version 1.4.0. - Added instructions on how to use the camera. 　- Display camera usage instructions after acquiring the camera (excluding display if the game has been cleared at least once). 　- Enabled viewing camera instructions from the pause screen. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44815797/32a798d8feadff064dd860e4318b68209f849b7f.jpg - Radio 　- Adjusted radio volume to be lower, as it was discouraging usage due to being too loud. 　- Excluded the Z-axis (vertical direction) from the distance calculation with anomalies, now using only the horizontal distance for detection. 　- Improved the radio's responsiveness by setting a proxy position for anomalies that cannot be approached closely, ensuring the radio reacts. - Modified the clock on the title screen to make the hour and minute hands move. - Revised the memo in the prologue scene. Clarified that using the radio causes time to reset to 1 o'clock. - Corrected the names of some anomalies. - Removed voice lines when waking up. - Enabled viewing explanations of dividers in the prologue scene (only in the English language setting, displaying the English translation of the written content). - In normal mode, adjusted so that one cannot sleep without taking a photo, but if possessing the radio, sleeping is possible (as obtaining the radio is a failure condition at the point of acquisition, rendering photography unnecessary). - Adjusted the ending scroll speed to 1.5 times, along with a corresponding shortening of the BGM.

I updated to version 1.3.0. - Updated the UI for the list of anomalies. 　- Displays the total number of anomalies and the number captured. 　- When clearing the game, highlights anomalies captured in that session in green, improving visibility of which anomalies were captured. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44815797/9fc2b4b054cea1dc269746da8bbd5e1b26206e54.jpg - Added several dummy capturable locations. - Added an axis inversion feature for viewpoint control, accessible from the settings screen. - Adjusted the capturable areas for some anomalies. - Made several material corrections. - Added and improved models. 　- Bathroom 　　- Added a drain. 　　- Added rails at the boundary with the room. 　　- Added a hot water supply port to the bathtub. 　　- Adjusted the hole size in the bath chair. 　- Added a lever to the washbasin. 　- Added a model for the internal key of the toilet door. - Anomalies (spoiler alert) 　- Addressed the issue where changes after capturing the "Closet Back Hallway" were unclear.

I made updates primarily focused on improving the comfort of gameplay. ===== - Anti-misunderstanding feature for shooting: Changed the specification so that shooting is not undone when capturing an empty area, preventing unintentional undo due to post-shooting mistakes. - In normal mode, it is now impossible to sleep if not yet captured. This is to prevent mistakes caused by forgetting to shoot. - Significantly reduced the volume of washing machine and refrigerator sounds (because they were annoying). - Changed the sound effects for capturing and undoing anomalies to make it clearer whether the capture was successful. - Lightened the smoothing of viewpoint rotation for brisk movement, adjusting to potentially reduce the risk of 3D motion sickness. - Enabled running even when the camera is raised to eliminate unnecessary realism. - Icon modifications 　- Checkmark indicating captured 　- Face icon indicating captured (for improved visibility) - Anomalies (spoiler alert) 　- After-capture effects for ceiling light 　- After-capture effects for kitchen knife 　- Made visual changes for anomalies where only a certain sound changes; this is to address cases where players, if they had lowered the volume, might not notice the change.

I updated to v1.1.0.

• Disabled Nanite (due to suspected crash issues).
• Adjusted brightness (reduced it a bit as it was too bright).
• As a measure against motion sickness, you can now display a dot in the center of the screen (configurable in the settings).

- Anomalies (Spoiler Alert)

• Improved effects after capturing the suitcase to make them more noticeable.
• Improved effects after capturing the refrigerator to make them more noticeable.
