The developers are also sharing details about upcoming improvements based on extensive community feedback. Five core areas are:
- Quick Execution

- Card Organization
- This upcoming feature will empower players to assign specific card categories to particular hand slots, as well as setting hotkeys for automatic organization.
- Music & Sound Effects
- The team will fine-tune disruptive sound effects and musical transitions, alongside further optimization based on community feedback.
- Sensitive Content Warning
- Upcoming new game icons will help identify choices leading to sensitive storylines
- As some players like this kind of unpredictable fun, this feature will be added into the Settings, so it can switch it on and off.
- Game Save
- A manual Save/Load feature will also be added.
Over the next few months, the team also plans to optimize controller and Steam Deck support, introduce a gallery mode to review unlocked endings and cards, add crowdfunding supporter-designed characters and gears, expand support to the Steam Workshop, and continue rolling out new character episodes and epilogues.
