I'm curious. Any Feedback from the players? Do they like it?
Well, in this forum there are a lot of toxic people, but apart from them, the release seems successful!
Good feedback in general :)

Thank you!

Yeah, about the flashlight, the issue with it is that it points to the center of the screen, but if there's a foreground object behind Cira, it'll try to target it. I'm sure I can fix this with a little math.

A little issue in the Mess Hall area, the code log to the Comm Room disappears after picking it up. If it's possible is there a way to review the logs once you read them since she says that she logged it or something like that.

Cira's face initially had a stylized style, as I was originally testing a cel-shading/toon style for the project (this was partly for better optimization, as rendering this way would allow me to use lower-resolution textures).

In the end, I achieved very good performance in the game, so I decided to give it a realistic style.

Consequently, Cira's face needs to be modified to fit the game's visual style.

Here are some renders of the change for comparison.

The change is now integrated into the game.

Hope you like it!

Dynamic map!

This is essential for navigating Canopy-6. You'll be able to see if the doors are unlocked, points of interest, save points, etc.

This way, you'll find your way around much more easily.
  • Cira's current position and rotation to help you find your way around
  • Icons for points of interest (save station, changing room, etc.)
  • Names of important rooms
  • Floor change icons
  • Doors with their current locked/unlocked/infected status
  • Ability to navigate between different floors
The map will be updated as new features and functionality are added to the gameplay.

Some changes

I'm making some changes to parts that were too similar to PI.

I'm also fixing some bugs you've reported. The idea is to have a solid foundation so I can continue developing the game without future complications.

Here's a very important new feature: the ability to combine items.

Following in the footsteps of the genre's greats, inventory management is an essential feature in any classic survival horror.

Need to free up space in your inventory? No problem, combine items to compress the contents.

Stuck on a puzzle? Try combining key objects; you might be in for a surprise.

Don't find your consumables useful enough? Combine them for a much more powerful version.

With this new mechanic I can add much more interesting and satisfying puzzles for players without them being overly complex.

(I had to compress the gif a lot)

Sera Lindvale – The Most Fragile Flower of CANOPY-6

Sera wasn’t meant to be here. She was just a lab assistant — a sweet, quiet girl who dreamed of studying botany, not surviving a bio-nightmare. When Cira finds her, Sera is alone, disoriented… and visibly affected.
️ How will Cira’s first encounter with a survivor unfold? ️

Visibly affected? Cira should offer a comforting hug and tell her everything will be okay :)

New System: Dynamic Cloth Tearing

With the new Dynamic Cloth Tearing system, the protagonist’s outfit reacts in real time to the damage she takes: seams strain, fabric tears, and cuts accumulate with every encounter.

In upcoming updates, Cira's clothing status will impact gameplay.

For now, you can enjoy the views.

Get ready to feel the fight in a whole new way.

But can you repair those clothes, somehow? Some outfits could look really nice and I actually want to keep them ;)

Hi dev! I really liked Cira — she looks beautiful and full of personality. I’ve already sent my idea suggestion on Discord, and I hope it can contribute to the project. I’m excited to see how everything will develop!
