Verified timeline
| Date | Event | Guide impact |
|---|---|---|
| May 14, 2025 | Steam demo first released | Demo mechanics become the baseline, not the final EA contract |
| September 8, 2026 | Pre-launch source review | Evidence boundaries applied before Early Access |
| September 10, 2026 | Early Access launch | Recheck every volatile mechanic and status page |
| September 15, 2026 | 0.6.24 patch | Launch-week fixes started changing known issue status |
| September 16, 2026 | 0.6.39 patch | Dice rerolls added; input, Chinese localization/text, controller softlock and settings issues updated |
Which guides were affected
| Guide | Current action |
|---|---|
| Save & Resume | Steam Cloud remains confirmed, but checkpoint timing, save location and demo transfer stay not confirmed |
| Issues | Mark auto-walk/not walking, Chinese loading/text blank and crossed settings as fixed in 0.6.39 before troubleshooting old reports |
| How to Play | Use Early Access first-run guidance instead of demo-only framing |
| Rest & Gloom | Keep decisions tied to displayed cost until current 0.6.39 values are verified |
| Cards and Builds | Do not publish tier lists or full card database until card text and build version are verified together |
What gets rechecked after an update
We prioritize changes that alter a player's next decision: boss phases, Rest/Gloom costs, card effects, deck rules, food recovery, save behavior, supported platforms, and demo transfer. Cosmetic notes do not outrank broken guidance.
