Refined Thai and German text and selected UI terms: We have added greater depth to the writing and polished terminology in the title and settings menus to make it more natural and intuitive.
3. Interaction and Quality-of-Life Improvements
Unified dialogue and physical interaction options: Physical interactions have been integrated into existing content, including the standard dialogue menu, making it easier and more natural to connect with the character you like.
New wake-up hint system: To help you avoid missing required events, a step-by-step guide now appears every weekend morning, showing the character, location, and time needed based on your current affection level and progress. (Limited to required events needed to unlock the next affection level) The system for viewing hints by speaking directly to a character has been simplified.
'Rest' option added at key locations: A rest option is now available at certain activity locations (Shooting Range, Haeryang Security, Taekwondo Gym), giving you more flexibility in managing condition and time.

Additional guidance for bar date requirements : The , available from Seha's LV.3 onward, requires a specific prior event. Although the conditions were already set up to be completed as quickly and simply as possible, we have added several measures to make the event requirements easier for some players to meet.
4. Dialogue Presentation, History, and TO-DO Improvements
Improved dialogue advance indicator: The icon animation that prompts you to advance dialogue now moves in a gentler rhythm that is easier on the eyes.
Improved History controls: Past dialogue can now be scrolled through more smoothly with either a keyboard or controller.
Cleaned up the To-Do list and tutorial: Unnecessary UI elements have been removed from the empty task list screen for a cleaner appearance, while control instructions and help text have been updated for the latest version.
5. Quest and Gameplay Stability Improvements
Improved quest progression: The completion requirements for two quests related to the Taekwondo Gym and theater have been adjusted so they can now be completed properly.
Optimized story and loading: Internal data and story branching have been refined throughout the game to provide a smoother, more comfortable play experience.
