We hope all Detectives will explore more of the game. Also, this bonus will not occur in Duo Hunters mode. Barmaid Point Adjustments: Added Barmaid's Bravery Points from "Cheers! Farewell!".

Added background music to Victory, Defeat and Dealing. Added voice for Blackjack. Added nonparticipating penalty rules in Blackjack Mode. Recently, it was found that a small number of players were nonparticipating in Blackjack Mode, which has greatly affected the game experience of other players. After the update, the following punishments will be applied to unethical behaviors: besides deducting Morality Points, an additional 10 Blackjack Mode Points will be deducted and no EXP will be gained from the game. Subsequently, we will continue to increase the penalties in order to provide a good gaming environment for everyone. Story [Character Story]: Four new character story subplots for the Survivor *Forward have been added. Players are able to explore the diary owner's life in the Manor through [Forward's Diary].

Nonparticipating Detection Upgrade When a player has been detected as nonparticipating, the player's morality points will be directly deducted. Characters detected as nonparticipating will be controlled by the system automatically (Survivors and some Hunters only). If a Survivor is controlled by the system, the system will broadcast a message to other Survivors informing them that a player has been detected as nonparticipating and is now being controlled by the system. This will help the Survivors to make better decisions. If a nonparticipating player is detected as returning to the game, the character will no longer be controlled by the system and the system will broadcast a message to other Survivors informing them the system-controlled Survivor has returned to the game and is no longer controlled by the system. This will help the Survivors to make better decisions. Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where the interface did not resize when performing screen spacing adjustments.

Character Adjustments Gamekeeper Adjustments External Trait: Suffocation - Hitting different targets with Bane's Chain Hook will trigger different effects. When Bane is dragged forwards by his Chain Hook and lands, it will generate shockwaves that decrease the Movement Speed of Survivors within a certain range for some moments. Getting hit by the shockwaves multiple times during this period will reset the effect duration and further slow down Survivors. When hit by the Chain Hook, Survivors will be marked by the scent of rotting leaves and their location will be periodically exposed for a long duration, and Bane's attack recovery rate will be increased when he hits the exposed Survivors. Tier 0 Skill: Chain Hook - Bane hooks Survivors and pulls them to him or hooks a wall and pulls himself towards the wall. Tier 1 Skill: Thorny Chain Hook - When Bane's Chain Hook hits a Survivor, it will deal 50% of normal attack damage. Tier 2 Skill: Fury Hook - If the Chain Hook hits an object, Bane can cast the Chain Hook again within 7 seconds up to 2 times, until the Chain Hook hits a Survivor or misses. Other Adjustments: Increased Gamekeeper's Movement Speed and recovery rate from Pallets' stunning. Increased Gamekeeper's range of charge attack and reduced the back swing of charge attack. Slightly increased Chain Hook's speed and Gamekeeper's flying speed after hitting a wall, and greatly reduced the back swing when landing. Adjusted Chain Hook's cooldown judgment to enter cooldown after the skill ends, thus reducing the skill cooldown. Reduced Gamekeeper's Movement Speed decrease while charging Chain Hook. In order to optimize performance, Gamekeeper's pulling action has been replaced. Fixed an issue where the Gamekeeper occasionally gets pulled back or has difficulty flying over uneven terrain. Embalmer Adjustments The Embalmer can now choose whether or not to use Rebirth: When an embalmed player is on the Rocket Chair (including the Embalmer), the Embalmer will have 3 seconds to make a decision: Select "Rebirth Now" and the embalmed player will instantly enter the Rebirth process and consume the current Coffin. Select "Cancel Rebirth" will stop the embalmed player from entering the Rebirth process. However, the embalming effects will be retained and will not consume the current Coffin. When no selections are made, the "Rebirth Now" process will start by default. If the Rocket Chair with embalmed player is released by the Hunter, the player's Coffin will disappear. Survivor - First Officer is now available in Duo Hunters Matches Map Adjustments Sacred Heart Hospital: Removed a Pallet from the second floor of the hospital. Lakeside Village: Added some Pallets and Windows to certain areas. Moon River Park: Added some Pallets and Windows to certain areas. Arms Factory: Adjusted the location of the Dungeon. Adjusted some unreasonable spawn points for Survivors in the Arms Factory. Adjusted some areas where Pallets and Windows can be easily touched by mistake due to close proximity in Lakeside Village. Slightly adjusted the location of the Rocket Chair near the working Merry-Go-Round in Moon River Park (original location makes it easy to vault over the window by mistake when rescuing), and this change also applies to Duo Hunters Mode. Battle Custom UI Settings: Players can now adjust in-game controls via Custom UI in the Settings interface. Players can adjust the size of buttons, swap button positions, and hide the walking button for all or a specific Character. Changes made will apply to Match Mode and Rank Match Mode, but Blackjack Mode and Duo Hunters Mode will not be affected. Soul Weaver's Cocoon Adjustments: When a Survivor is cocooned, they can move in a rolling manner while ignoring the Soul Weaver's collision (the cocooned state is a special movement, and Movement Speed will not be affected by various knocked down accelerations). Hunter's Knockdown Attack Judgment Mechanism Adjustments: When the knockdown action is in play, normal attacks hitting Survivors will no longer be judged as a knockdown attack, thus triggering the attack recovery action (hitting with a knife while knocked down will also not trigger the attack recovery action). Adjusted Axe Boy's knife judgment mechanism to make it harder to bounce. Adjusted Guard 26's initial Time Bomb countdown to 2 seconds. Guard 26 is now available in Blackjack Mode. Other Adjustments: Optimized Acrobat - Akira Kurusu's hands. Optimized Barmaid's handheld item - True Proof. Optimized Priestess - Samara's handheld item effects. Optimized the blade-wiping motion for Wu Chang - Requiem Costume. Optimized Coordinator's Cloak flapping motion when decoding Cipher Machines for P5 Crossover's Awaken Costume.

However, the Exit Gate's highlight effect in the Photographer's Camera World gate will turn gray.

The Filter function of the Notebook - Character interface will now save the last selection. Increased the duration of destroying Dancer's Music Box for the Photographer, Mad Eyes, Dream Witch's Follower, Axe Boy, Evil Reptilian, Bloody Queen, and Guard 26. Added a Report option in the Battle Result interface and Record interface: Inappropriate Name, for everyone to report inappropriate and offensive names. Added system's judgment of a Dice Team in Blackjack Mode. Once confirmed, Morality Points will be deducted. Optimized Dice Team's judgment so that punishments can be dealt more accurately. Lessened the special effect when the Decoding Acceleration prompt appears in battle. When entering a new season, the number of consecutive losses in the previous season will be reset. Added a Label Filter to the Character Purchase interface in the Shop which can filter and display Characters by their applications. Soul Weaver's Deduction Node 10 has been modified to hit Survivors 1/2/3 times under three layers of web acceleration.

If the Hunter is stunned again within 5 seconds from the first stun, the stun duration will be reduced by 2 seconds, and so on. The minimum stun duration is 1 second.

(Fog is always The Ripper's best friend!)

Additional Points when triggering a Promotion Match will be marked as Excess Points. When Excess Points reach 8, players will be able to play another round of Promotion Match without losing any Stars when failing in Promotion Match, but corresponding Excess Points will be deducted. When a demotion is about to happen, if players' Rank Point is 0 with 10 Excess Points, players' Tier will not be reduced, but corresponding Excess Points will be deducted.
