Thank you for playing Red Chat Ritual – TSUMIMI TIME.

Based on the feedback and reports we have received from players, we have released an update containing the following improvements.

Release Date and Time: October 27, 2026, ○○:○○ JST (UTC+9)
Version: Ver.1.0.3

■ Improvements and Adjustments

■ Know Immediately When You’ve Found a Clue

When you send a Mega Chat (an in-game paid message) that can provide a keyword, or when you find an important investigation file, a visual effect and sound will now let you know.

This makes it immediately clear when your choice or investigation has resulted in new information.

■ Know What to Look for Before You Start Investigating

You can now check the deduction questions for the current chapter before watching an in-game livestream and while investigating.

This makes it easier to investigate with a clear goal and understand what information you need to remember or look for.

■ Easier to Decide Whether to Continue or Retry Your Deduction

The protagonist’s dialogue after a deduction now makes it easier to understand how well the deduction went.

Route names are also displayed on the opening screens of Chapters 2 and 3 and in save data, making it easier to confirm which branch you are on and decide whether to continue or go back and try again.

■ Know What to Review and What to Do Next After a Failed Attempt

After a deduction failure or certain endings, a results screen now allows you to review each chapter’s accuracy and whether important answers were correct.

Hints about missing investigation files make it easier to decide where to investigate again and which gifts to reconsider on your next playthrough.

※The results screen does not appear for endings caused by dying or being blocked partway through the story.

■ Please Note

・The update will be applied automatically through Steam. If it has not been applied, please restart the Steam client.

・Your existing save data can continue to be used.

■ Bug Reports and Feedback

If you encounter a bug, please report it in the bug report thread in the Steam Community.

Including the in-game day and scene where the issue occurred, along with details of your system environment such as your OS, will help us investigate more efficiently.

We also welcome your thoughts and feedback through Steam Discussions and reviews. Your feedback will help guide future improvements.

Based on the feedback and reports we've received since launch, we've released the following update.

Release date: October 27, 2026, 1:15 JST (October 26, 9:15 AM PDT)

Version: Ver.1.0.2

■ Improvements & Adjustments

- Adjustments to Deduction Progression Requirements

To help more players experience the full story, we have adjusted the progression requirements for certain deduction sections.

It is now easier to continue the story even when some parts of a deduction are incorrect.

- Easier to Try Different Choices Without Losing Your Progress

To reduce the amount of replaying required when you want to try a different choice, manual save slots have been increased from 15 to 30.

You can now keep more saves from before important decisions.

Save dates and times are also displayed, making it easier to find the save you want to return to.

- Clearer Guidance on Which Gifts Are Needed and When

Tsumimi's dialogue now provides clearer clues about which items may be needed and when they should be sent.

A special effect now plays when purchasing an item related to story progression, helping communicate that the gift is important to the story.

- Know the Risk Before Making a Choice

Markers have been added to certain Mega Chats that can lead to death or being blocked by Tsumimi.

This reduces situations where the story ends unexpectedly without the player realizing the risk.

These guidance markers can be switched ON or OFF.

- More Time to Take In the Final Moments

We have adjusted the presentation and pacing of the final scenes in certain endings.

This reduces the feeling of an abrupt ending and gives players more time to take in what happened.

■ Notes

- The update will be applied automatically via Steam. If it doesn't appear, please restart your Steam client.

- Your save data will carry over.

■ Bug Reports & Feedback

If you encounter a bug, please let us know in the bug report thread on the Steam Community.

Including the in-game day, the scene, and your play environment (OS, etc.) will help us investigate.

We'd also love to hear your thoughts on the game in the Discussions or in a review. Your feedback helps us improve.
