[THE SHADOWS] Alpha 0.3.7 — Learn as you fight, new moves, Japanese & Chinese

Alpha 0.3.7 is built around feedback from our first playtesters — "I wanted to try the moves from the GIF but nothing told me how, and I died."

What's new

  • Learn as you fight: skills unlock one at a time, with a short tutorial card the moment a fight starts (village gate: attack, dash, roll → plaza: weapon swap, weapon skill → cathedral yard: wire, slam → boss: ultimate). The village gate, plaza and cathedral yard open with a practice enemy.
  • New animations: double-jump flip, falling, landing, new dash and roll, wire pull, sword slam (air slash + pillar of light), light/heavy hit reactions, death animation. Jumps leave the ground instantly.
  • Sound & look: new melee hit sounds, a new pixel-art title screen by our team, cleaner HUD and menus.
  • Languages: Japanese and Simplified Chinese added — Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese (Settings ▸ Language; auto-detected on first launch).
  • Fix: menu text no longer stays in the previous language when you switch languages mid-game.

Known issues

  • At the start of the Act 2 road scene, the camera may briefly show outside the play area.
  • Some long names in the journal list are cut off.
