Canonical update pointer

Current release status.

This page identifies the current public Aikotoba release and will carry forward-only update guidance.

What changed in this release

  • Browser update reliability is improved so a failed rollout cannot leave a later version loading stale assets.
  • The story now saves itself at choices and scene boundaries, under its own Auto tab beside your manual and quick saves.
  • Saves show a picture of the moment they were taken and how long you have played.
  • Settings gained a master volume with mute, a reading text size, and skip preferences that persist between visits.
  • Read-only Skip stops at unread text; Auto waits for each line and voice before advancing.
  • From the title screen, Settings and Save/Load use full pages on larger screens; in-game entry uses focused overlays.
  • The demo starts in your device language rather than defaulting to English.

Web-demo-first release

The browser demo is published before any Windows or authoring package. This page intentionally provides no desktop artifact link. Those files require a separate frozen-candidate review, exact integrity metadata, and platform instructions before they may appear publicly.

Compatibility

Browser data belongs to the aikotoba.app origin. Moving the demo to another origin is a data-migration decision, not a cosmetic URL change. Each materially different distributed build receives a newer, immutable version.
