PC Players: With this patch, we've confirmed on a number of different ultrawide monitors that the game works properly on them now!*
PS4 Players: FPS has been improved and crash rate has been greatly reduced.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where you could use GR-based Drink Items in the labyrinth.
Fixed an issue where one kanji was improperly flipped in Labyrinth 9.

Fixed various typos and other small issues reported by players.
Fixed missing Story Goal Indicator (!!) in Town 10.

Miscellaneous

Improved the AI for Brilliant enemies in Chapter Two.

Our Biggest Priorities

PS5 Demo Save Data Transfer functionality is still a work in progress.
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.
D-pad issues for movement

New Music Uploads

We've added a couple new tracks from the 158-track OST to YouTube. Come give these bangers a listen! Some of these tracks are still scheduled to premiere in a few days.

As always, thank you for playing!

This game looks interesting, but that price...

I love the concept of this game and everything about it looks good, but I feel these devs may have shot themselves in the foot with this pricing. The game with DLC rivals Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 in price, even without it's awfully close... and I feel like a dungeon crawler with language mechanics is just going to be far too niche. For now I'll be keeping it on my wishlist but the devs may want to consider bundles with other games or work out a sales schedule; cause for such a niche genre that is one of...

But wait, there's more news to announce! The OST’s official streaming release is in the works with our new distributor, and we’ve got exciting patch updates and development news coming soon. We will also be planning a commercial release of the 7-disc OST later this year.

I will be discussing with all of our talented composers to see if we can get some cool behind-the-scenes videos prepared later this year too.

"A solid contender for one of this year’s best scores."

Patch Notes v1.35

25 Mar

Shujinkou v1.35

Polish / Quality of Life

Jump to Requester: Now, you can press Z / Square / X (Xbox) on your device to jump to a Youkyuu (quest) requester from the Youkyuu Player Menu if you are in the same town as them, and they are available to interact with. This is a huge quality of life feature for critics and players who have said that the side quests were tedious to handle while navigating towns.
Jump to Time Changer: In a similar vein, if the requester is not available during the current time of day and you have already unlocked the time changing event, you can quickly change the time by pressing Z / Square / X (Xbox) on your input device.
When leaving a full menu or submenu in the Party Menu, the last selected button will now properly select, greatly improving UI navigation flow.
Changing the time of day changes in towns now happens roughly 1 to 1.5 seconds quicker than before as a result of code optimization.
It now only takes 1 second to skip dialogue now (reduced from 2 seconds).

Bug Fixes

Fix incorrect orientation of a trap in Labyrinth 7.
Fix mixed up audio files for one kanji-based Kanban in Labyrinth 8.
Fix spoiler for an Ishi in Chapter Two.
Fix issue with Kanban pages appearing more than once in the Ikijibiki shop.
Fix issue with being able to cycle tabs in Kurozushi when a confirmation dialog is visible.
Fix lack of plurals for certain item types in the Item Menu.
Fix chance of potential hanging in dialogue under certain conditions if scroll speed is set to Skip.

Miscellaneous

Clarified some vague instructions in dialogue for the Youkyuu: Extermination Tactics.
Important! Reduced number of tutorials and cleaned up the wording for some tutorials.
Shujinkou's official website has recently been updated too. Come check it out! Shujinkou Official Website[https//www.shujinkou.com+style%3Dbutton]

Tutorials

I just started playing and entered the forest, but I must say I find the tutorials quite confusing. I carefully read the orbs explanation before my first battle but couldn't understand it at all. So then I thought I'd figure it out by playing it, but it's still all supervague to me. I encounterd a wolf, pressed attack, then R2 to show the orbs, then selected one with my left joystick. It felt awkward because recentering the joystick unselects the orb again. So I press X while holding the L-stick on an o...

Game+DLC=$80, but this will be a trilogy...

As you can see on the store page, it is $60 plus another nearly $20 worth of DLC at launch. So about $80 for all content. What you may not know though is this is the first part in a planned trilogy. Unless I missed it somewhere, that information is not on Steam, only their website. If all three games have the same pricing model with DLC at launch, you're likely looking at a minimum of $240 for all three games with all DLC. More if there is more DLC released. I'm not here t...
