This update introduces several new game mechanics that were previously in early access, a redesigned tutorial level, and some quality-of-life improvements.

Multi-Language Support

Esper Mami: Arise now supports Chinese and Japanese, in addition to English!

Game language is automatically set to what your computer uses on first launch, but can be set to another one in settings.

Chinese translations are done by me; Japanese translations are done by ChatGPT since I don't speak Japanese. However, I did review the Japanese translations to ensure that special terms related to the anime are translated correctly.

New Game Mechanics

Dodging Mechanics & Bullet Time

Mami can now dodge enemy bullets and use their kinetic energy to perform teleportation! In addition, three consecutive  perfect dodges trigger a period of bullet time.

This mechanism is inspired by Episode 19 "Faster Than a Bullet" in the original anime series.

Esper Shield & Energy Gun

Mami can now use Esper shield to capture enemy bullets and launch them against enemies!

Improved Telekinesis Ability & Aiming Assistance

It is now much easier to use telekinesis to throw objects and hit enemies.

Use "pull mode" to pull objects towards you and "launch mode" to launch objects towards a target.

In lower difficulty settings, telekinesis in launch mode will snap the target to hostile entities, as indicated by a small red ring.

Redesigned Tutorial

The tutorial level is redesigned from scratch to be more intuitive and interactive.

Quality-of-Life Improvements

• Character stats related to Esper abilities are adjusted for better game-balance.
  
• There are now icons that show which key you need to press to perform a certain action. The key icons work for both keyboard and gamepad.
• Improved comic cutscene viewing/clicking experience.
• Esper energy bar now changes color as energy level changes.
• Selecting teleportation target now feels more intuitive.
  
• Enemies in the dome level now do not get stuck in front of vehicles.
