Overview
- The developer uploaded v0.0.253 to Steam and PlayStation on Friday, July 31, 2026, and described it as the last planned patch for now while work shifts back to Chapter 6.
- After losing to Chapter 5's Shadow Crystal, a Pink Bomb now appears and lets players choose 'Nicer' or 'Meaner' to make that optional boss easier or harder.
- The 'Nicer' option adds visual indicators for small bomb targets and increases bomb fuse time by one‑sixth of a second, while 'Meaner' raises all boss damage by 25% and speeds up some attacks.
- The patch fixes dozens of bugs and softlocks across chapters, including a crash triggered by disconnecting an audio device during music‑synced sequences and several chapter‑specific softlocks.
- Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 builds are still awaiting platform certification and will follow in the coming days or weeks, and the team has said it will focus on Chapter 6 development next.
