Quick Facts
- Platform: PlayStation 5

What Changed for the PlayStation 5 Version
Xiang spent five years securing a Sony development kit for the port, completing the porting and optimization process alone. Addressing a common request from PC players who faced physical limitations using a keyboard and mouse, the PS5 version features fully implemented controller support.
Additionally, Xiang removed the game's shop and currency systems entirely. According to the developer, the adjustment is designed to keep the focus strictly on tabletop-style dungeon exploration without breaking the player's gameplay rhythm with superfluous mechanics. The game's musical score is composed by Tatsuya Shibata, known for his work on the Monster Hunter series.
