Current edition
Released October 13, 2026 · October 27 Halloween update: critical attacks, progression and performance fixes · numeric installed build unknown · official sources checked October 28, 2026 UTC · gameplay not yet tested. 7 guides and 6 connected entries.

What still needs work
- Seven guides from official written sources, updated for the October 13 release; no independent gameplay testing or benchmark results.
- Demo observations do not establish release balance, routes or save compatibility.
- Official promotional artwork illustrates the game; it is not a Kingy capture.
- No complete boss roster, item database, quest walkthrough or ending route is claimed.
How updates are reviewed
Sources are linked to the guides that depend on them in Kingy’s review pipeline. A source change requests an editorial review; it does not automatically rewrite the guide or advance its edit date. Automated source checks are separate from a substantive guide review.
