Studio's Response to Steam Feedback
After trying the demo, many users expressed their dissatisfaction on Steam forums.

This created a climate of concern among fans.
Key Points of Criticism:- Issues with the lighting system, affecting characters and environments.

The studio is listening to these comments and working to improve the experience. The current state does not reflect what the final product will be like.
Public Commitment and Announced Patch
To calm the spirits, the developer officially confirmed that they will release a update before the game goes on sale. This patch will specifically focus on correcting the most mentioned visual and technical defects by the community.
Details of the Final Release:- Confirmed release date: February 12, 2026.

- Will be available on PC (Steam), PlayStation, Xbox, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
Expectations and Community Humor
Some fans have joked about the situation, commenting that the Dragon Engine "forgot" how to handle light in Kamurocho, prioritizing the glow of the neons over properly lighting a scene. The promise of a patch gives them a reason to keep hope that the remake will meet the high expectations of the saga. ✨
