Major Update Details 

Worldview overhaul

To deliver a more immersive world to you, we have revamped the entire worldview setting of Dorasherda.

With the cultural, economic, religious, technological, and political systems of New Joseon firmly established, the mystery unfolds against a backdrop that is even more solid and persuasive.

The most important change in this worldview revamp is the foundation of the new Joseon. Reorganization of the 'class system'no see.

high-status person Red and blueclass BlackThere was a problem in that the social classes were extremely polarized, with only Yellow Machine Humans—who could hardly be considered members of society—existing in between. We concluded that more realistic social stratification was necessary to develop the story that lies ahead.

Accordingly, the new commoner class that will become the backbone of the new Joseon society rustBy adding Red, Blue, Green, BlackA new class system has been established. Now, each class will have a more distinct role and position within the worldview.

UI/UX Improvements 

We have improved the tutorial structure to move away from guide screen-style tutorials that disrupted the flow of gameplay, allowing you to understand the system through natural gameplay.

Also, most of the in-game UI resources have been replaced.

It includes everything from resources that maintain the form while enhancing the details, to UIs that have been changed in a different direction from the existing ones.

Added factory site map

Previously, since the incident began immediately inside the main factory building right at the start of the game, there was an internal assessment that immersion in the world felt somewhat abrupt.

Therefore, to allow users to step into the world of Shinjoseon more naturally, there is a section that can be passed through before entering the main story. Added a new 'Factory Site (Outside the Main Factory Building)' mapI did.

Once you complete the gameplay in that area, you will naturally be connected to the interior map of the factory main building, where the main events unfold.

Complaint Improvement 

There was an internal assessment that the existing 'reporting' system did not align with the worldview, as it operates through gears rather than being connected to the Police Bureau, and involves a third party unrelated to the case filing the report.

Accordingly, to be more suitable for the role of an investigator, the existing Changed the name of the 'Report' system to 'Decision'.I did.

In addition, rather than conventional decorative gears, Deokryulpung and the underground pneumatic pipes connected to itThe decision is processed using [this].

If you speak to the person in the Choraengi mask in front of Deokryulpung, the Gyeol-an begins.If you pick up the receiver and contact the Podocheong, a cloakroom will be prepared in the underground pneumatic system.Explain the details of the case you deduced by answering the five key questions with characters/evidence.If you place the contents in the binding container and send it down through the pneumatic tube, the binding is completed.

Improved conversation convenience 

We have newly added a skip button to quickly skip through conversations you have already seen, and an end conversation button to immediately wrap up the situation.

Skip: Skip button or Left Ctrl If you press and hold The dialogue moves at high speed.End conversation: Immediately stop the current conversation and return to the newspaper screen. Since this is a mid-term termination, it will not be auto-saved.

※ This button is not displayed during the first conversation.

Important Notice 

Things you need to check regarding the changes in this update Important NoticeWe will deliver...

Guide to save file compatibility

In this update, to improve the completeness of Chapter 0 and secure long-term development stability The task of improving the core structure of the gameThis is included.

We conducted various technical reviews until the very end to preserve valuable existing gameplay records, but due to fundamental structural changes The conclusion that it is technically impossible to make previous version save files compatible with the new system.We ended up lowering it.

thus After this update, existing save files will no longer be available.

I feel very heavy-hearted that I was unable to fully preserve the time and records you have built up over the years.
We ask for your understanding regarding this unavoidable measure taken after careful consideration to ensure stable future development.

Guide to Character Voices

While preparing this update to deliver a more immersive worldview and narrative Extensive revision and supplementation of the scenarioThis was accomplished.

As the story progression and dialogue were revised, the existing recordings could not be used, and to improve the voice quality, to match the new dialogue Decided to re-record the entire thingI did.

However, if we were to re-record that portion and complete all post-production work before updating, you would have to wait even longer than you do now. Rather than making those who have already waited for such a long time wait even longer, We concluded that it would be best to showcase the improved gameplay and story first, and provide the improved voices through a future update.I lowered it.

Accordingly, in the previous version, full voice acting was applied to some sections, reading the entire dialogue, but In this version, only short voices in the form of interjections are applied.It works.

We sincerely apologize for not being able to deliver a level of quality worthy of your patience all at once. We have done our utmost to prepare a revamped story and gameplay for you to enjoy, so we would appreciate your understanding.
