1.1.6 Patch Notes

Hello, Ghost Vigilantes! This is Dvora Studio. We have prepared a patch based on the work we’ve completed over the past week. This update includes ongoing optimization and major fixes for the behavior patterns of Roamers, which many of you have mentioned as a significant concern.

Optimization Updates

Hello, Ghost Vigilantes,

this is Dvora Studio again. This patch focuses on items that are prioritized for their importance rather than urgency, which is why we conducted extensive internal playtesting. Below are the details for Patch 1.1.5, and we hope these updates improve your gaming experience.

Hello, we are currently working hard to fix the issues gathered over the weekend. Although there are consecutive holidays in Korea and Europe making things a bit difficult, we are trying our best to respond quickly to your feedback and problems. Below are the details of the update.

Patch 1.1.3 Update News

Thank you so much for your interest in this series and for playing the game within its universe. Although we tested the game across various device environments, unlike previous titles, The Coma 3 features rich visual implementation and real-time calculations. Therefore, the playing experience may vary depending on your hardware. We would like to sincerely apologize to anyone experiencing stuttering or frame drops during gameplay.

The following is a list of updates, similar to a HotFix, addressing issues reported by many players:

1. Fixed Donut Head Freezing Issue in the Apartment Chapter

• This was an issue we couldn't replicate during several internal tests, but quite a few players experienced it and had to reload because the "Donut Man" was blocking the path. We have identified the cause and fixed it.

2. PlayStation Controller Input Fix

• We recognized some issues with PlayStation controller inputs and have applied a fix.

3. Modified Stalker Puzzle Clues in the Apartment Chapter

• We have updated the puzzle clues that received feedback saying, "Every other puzzle makes sense, but this one doesn't!" Players going through this section now, or those starting the game for the first time after this patch, will be able to play without major confusion or stress.

4. Added Thai & Russian Achievements

• We thought we had included everything, but they were missing. They have now been properly added.

• We've received reports that achievements aren't unlocking for some players using demo save data. It's a known issue, and we expect to apply a fix after the holiday break.

Thank you for all your support, encouragement, and interest. While most players may not experience these technical issues, we feel truly sorry for those who couldn't fully enjoy the game due to lag or stuttering. We are closely monitoring and reviewing the game's optimization. Thank you.

Best regards, Minho Kim

Fellow Ghost Vigilantes,

the time is almost upon us for one final trip to Sehwa High and beyond with our team of familiar faces: Youngho, Mina, and Jihyun.

On Thursday, April 30th The Coma 3: Bloodlines will finally conclude the story that began just over 10 years ago.

But before we face the horrors that await, we thought we would share a small update to let you know what to expect:

• A brand new mainline entry to the series. After The Coma 2B stepped away from the main story arc, The Coma 3 directly follows the storyline started with the first two entries.

• A single-player adventure, as is customary for the series, but this time reaching beyond the hallways of Sehwa High into the wider world that has not previously been explored.

• Three playable characters with their own unique storylines and playstyles.

• 6-8 hours of gameplay with complex puzzles and enemy encounters.

• A beautiful new upgrade to the artistic style of the series that you know and love, without losing the charm of the first two games of the series.

• Four terrifying bosses that will mercilessly hunt you down as you try to solve the mystery of this forsaken cursed world of The Coma.

• Closure to the storyline that began with the first game, finally giving fans the answers they have been wanting since The Coma 1.

• Full controller support alongside mouse and keyboard.

• 10 languages including English, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

So that's it, we're almost there. Soon you will have the answers to the mysteries of The Coma universe and find out the ultimate fate of Yongho, Mina, Jihyun, and all of the shades and characters you've come to love (and hate).

See you in The Coma, friends! One last time... Minho, Dvora Studio & Headup

Dear Ghost Vigilantes,

It’s time to prepare for the final chapter! The Coma 3: Bloodlines is launching next Thursday, April 30!

Head into the terrifying mirror dimension of the Coma once more and untangle a vicious new web of curses and secrets… To get you into the proper mood, we’ve just dropped a new trailer for you to enjoy right here:

The story that once started at Sehwa Private High School is approaching its final arc: Play as Youngho, Mina, and Jihyun, as you travel beyond the familiar schools and neighbourhoods and into unpredictable adventures with new missions and locations. Each character brings unique skills and perspectives, offering fresh strategies and dangers as the story unfolds. From stealth and survival to combat - you shape how you experience the nightmare. 

And remember: Should a living being perish within the Coma, their spirit will be trapped in this dimension forever, damned to never reunite with its body again…

See you in the Coma, friends! Minho, Dvora Studio & Headup

Dear Ghost Vigilantes!

However, there were also those who viewed this place as an object of exploration and suppressed the dangerous elements. They are the Ghost Vigilantes. The wraiths of the past, who have traversed the ages to this time period, appear ... and the once-quiet Coma dimension has once again become a realm of nightmare ...
