As the title says, the game now comes with festival easter eggs! During Chinese and Western festivals, opening the game treats you to a mysterious little skit with Lilith. Set your system date to something like 2028.10.4 or 2026.4.6 and you may even trigger a double-festival egg. All festival eggs are also fully unlocked in \, so you don't have to burn your liver grinding them one by one. Below is a line from the Dragon Boat Festival egg—I said if we're going to commemorate him, it has to cover the sea, the land, and the air, all at once. The game has also slimmed down in a big way. Earlier, some duplicate video files were accidentally bundled in, which made the download package way too large. Now new players only need to download about a 700MB package to play, and existing players will get over 1 GB of useless files cleaned out after updating. Anyway, thank you all again for playing. If there are no bugs to fix or special circumstances, this is where the game's updates will come to rest. Looking forward to meeting you all again in the cyber world. 咸因 (that's 'gratitude'—extra salted).

As the title suggests, the DLC and Soundtrack for "Waiting for You in Hell" are now available for free on the Steam store. You're welcome to come and experience them. The content of the DLC and Soundtrack can be used freely, including but not limited to personal use, fan creations, and even commercial use. I hope you all enjoy it. Here's a celebratory image for the release. The DLC includes all the art and music assets from the game, along with some developer ramblings. In terms of art, it features Lilith's character illustrations, various backgrounds, CGs, and some system files, as well as unused drafts. The music includes all the game's tracks in mp3 format, along with the opening and ending songs. The developer ramblings are... a Word document that records bits and pieces from the game's development process, such as the inspiration for the game, character motivations, fun development stories, and so on. In short, it covers the whole game, and I welcome anyone interested to download it. The Soundtrack content is the same as the music content in the DLC, but it's just more convenient to play directly in the Steam client. Anyway, thanks again to all the players for playing my game. Thank you for playing my game. There will be a small holiday-themed update coming up, and if there are no more bug reports, my debut project can be wrapped up. I'm currently brainstorming the content for my next work, and if all goes well, it should be playable by the second half of next year. I hope you can give me some feedback and share your thoughts for my reference. Who knows, it might end…

As the title says, the bottom menu is now always available, so you can fast-forward, save and load whenever you want. Previously the bottom menu would hide while making choices and while Lilith was speaking. Thanks to @林翩翩的桂花糕 from Xiaoheihe (a Chinese gaming community) for the report. If you run into anything while playing, please tell me right away - I will take care of it. I never turn on auto-read when I play galgames myself, so I honestly had never noticed this problem... And the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up soon - the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Here I would like to present a Mid-Autumn illustration, and wish everyone a warm reunion and complete happiness with the people you care about. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar - the very middle of autumn. The moon on this night is the roundest and brightest of the whole year, and in Chinese culture a full circle is the symbol of reunion; so no matter how far from home people are, they do their best to return and gather with the ones who matter most. The way it is celebrated is simple: the family sits together to admire the moon and shares a round pastry called a mooncake - its round shape stands for completeness - and relatives and friends exchange mooncakes and wish each other peace. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to every player. Wherever you are, look up and you will see the same moon as everyone else. The DLC and the soundtrack are still under review on their store pages - sorry for keeping you…

Waiting for You in Hell v1.02 Fixes Hidden Bottom Menu During Choices
A small but meaningful quality-of-life patch has arrived for the visual novel Waiting for You in Hell, closing a gap in menu accessibility that had gone unnoticed since launch.
What changed
The bottom menu — which provides access to fast-forward, save, and load — is now always visible and available.
Previously, the menu would disappear during choice selections and while the character Lilith was speaking, leaving players without those controls at critical moments.
The issue was reported by community member @林翩翩的桂花糕 via Xiaoheihe, a Chinese gaming platform.
The developer acknowledged the bug slipped through because they do not use auto-read when playing visual novels personally, meaning the affected UI states were simply never encountered during their own playtesting.
Beyond the fix, the announcement notes that a DLC and a soundtrack are currently awaiting store review — a process that has, by the developer's account, already required two resubmissions over logo and title requirements on promotional images.
For players, the fix removes an invisible friction point: saves and fast-forward are no longer locked away precisely when the game is most actively doing something.
