We’re pleased to announce that HAPPY SAIN† SHEOL version 1.3.0 is now live on Steam and should be pushed out to users.

As announced back on Halloween Day this year, this long awaited updated adds a long list of fixes and updates to both game content and the overall user experience.

Scenario Updates

  • A number of scenes have been more fleshed out to fix the overall flow of the story

  • Display errors in certain scenes, especially in novel mode, have been fixed

  • Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean text issues have been fixed

Graphics Updates

  • New illustrations have been added to the game. Creator and character designer, RaV², has improved their drawing skills in the year since this update was initially announced back in 2024. Many of them are spoilers though so unfortunately we can’t show any of them off in this update!

  • In addition, nearly all existing illustrations have subtle updates and changes as well

UI/UX Updates

  • 400×300 mini size display option has been added to the Settings menu

  • Tutorial screens have been added for users new to visual novels

  • Cheat Mode – One of the biggest updates to version 1.3.0 is the addition of a cheat mode which will allow you to unlock the various content in the game. While there is no penalty for enabling this mode, the game is best enjoyed without it steamthumbsup

Steam Achievements

  • As some users have already noticed, Steam Achievements are now available for HAPPY SAIN† SHEOL

  • For users that have cleared a number of endings prior to updating to version 1.3.0, the relevant achievements should unlock on startup

  • PLEASE NOTE: In the case that achievements do not unlock for the above case, persistent data may need to be deleted so it is recommended to have save states in scenes right before clearing an ending to save time

Other Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Auto mode button does not work

  • Fixed an issue where clearing two specific endings after another would lead to an endless loop

  • Fixed an issue where clearing the game would not unlock the ability to change the title screen character graphic

 

The uncut DLC has been updated with the above enhancements so be sure to grab it from here, after updating on Steam. In case users are curious why the decrease in size from the previous DLC from 32 MB to 12 MB? The project manager on HAPPY SAIN† SHEOL didn’t fully realize how patches worked in Ren’Py and built a patch that included files that didn’t need to be overwritten. The new DLC is streamlined and only includes files that need to be modified to make for a smaller and easier to use package.
