Hello, this is Team ARDORBIT!

We're excited to bring you a demo update after a while. In the meantime, we've been developing our next map, the 'Underground Tunnel,' while also working to incorporate your feedback. We sincerely thank everyone who has played our short demo and shown interest in it.

This update doesn't include new content, but we've introduced new systems that will enhance your gameplay experience.

1. Soma finally blinks!

Soma, who had kept their eyes open 24/7 since waking up, can now blink.

2. Object Detection: Magic Ring

Previously, the criteria for object detection weren't intuitive.

We've now added a detection reticle at the center of the screen (nicknamed the "Magic Ring") to help you detect the objects you want.

This center-screen detection method only applies to objects that can be targeted by the magnetic ability.

To use it, simply approach the target object and aim the center-screen UI at it.

3. Friendlier Aiming Guide

Confused about box-throwing range? So were we.

Previously, aiming only displayed a targeting UI, and boxes didn't actually fly according to that UI.

Now, the box's throwing range and expected landing position are shown directly as a parabolic trajectory.

Pick up a box and try right-clicking!

4. Camera Collision Handling

Camera collisions that occurred when Soma approached walls used to cause motion sickness.

Now, when a camera collision happens, Soma is briefly made transparent to protect your eyes.

5. Other Fixes

• Carrying a box while moving no longer clips through walls.

• Fixed a bug where the object detection UI would appear during dialogue.

• Added an effect for clue investigation.

• Tutorial pop-up screens can now be dismissed with the A and D keys.

• The demo app name has been changed to 'Poreia Demo.'

• The demo icon has been changed.

• The boy's voice actor has been changed.

• Added a revalidation logic for run input during frame drops.

You can get an early look at part of the 'Underground Tunnel' map in the video below.

We'll do our best to bring you new content again soon!

New content will be revealed first at gaming events, and in our next demo update, we plan to prioritize Xbox controller support.
