This version adds Boss Level Warnings, which also allow you to set your level to the recommended level if you're below it. But you can still fight Decaycarnation at Level 2 if you're so inclined.

Unfortunately, the upcoming vivid/stasis update featuring the Soma Union collaboration will have to be pushed back to November 15th, 2025.

You really look like you could use a pick-me-up. Two weeks until Misdecayed's demo releases!

Since Final Rush Party was planned when it was assumed 12/31 would be the final vivid/stasis update, and because I'm likely going to be away for most of December, plans for Final Rush Party have shifted a bit. Below is a diagram of which songs are being moved to release later down the line.

Every story begins somewhere. But will every story have an end? Isn't it better if things... ...begin again?
