Updates and patch notes
Checked 2026-10-06. Version on the official page that day: 1.0.1.
2 October 2026 — Update 1.0.1
Title on the devlog: “Update 1.0.1: Choose Your Gameplay Difficulty!” The visible text says you can change the gameplay difficulty, and it thanks players because the team reads the comments. It does not list the second-by-second timings for each difficulty. Those timings in other guides stay unverified. Controls that did not change are on how to play.
1 October 2026 — 10,000 downloads
Title: “Thank you for 10,000 downloads in just 24 hours!!” The post identifies the group as Team Ned-pela and includes a Thai line aimed at players who want to support the developer. The game page’s release date on VNDB is 30 September 2026, which fits a “published six days ago” label on 6 October.
Do the answers change with the patch?
Nothing on the devlog says the phone digits, the doll slots, or the ending count moved in 1.0.1. The doll slots and the pill labels are in screenshots still hosted on the page after that update. If a later post changes a puzzle, this page should be the one that gets the new sentence, and the guide index should point at it.
What I checked
I read the devlog index on the official itch.io page on 6 October 2026. It showed two posts, both by Zieelane. The download buttons the same day were already named 1.0.1. I did not get a separate 1.0.0 changelog. The answer pages on this site are marked against that 1.0.1 file list.
