Hello, players! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support during this past week of Steam Next Fest. We noticed the feedback that there are many new contents this time, along with many new players just starting their journey—we’ve decided to extend the demo period until Saturday, October 27th, 11:59AM (EDT). No need to rush through the experience! After all, Mahjong is meant to be a relaxing game^^

We’ve also prepared a survey for the demo experience to better understand your feedback. It will take about 3-5 minutes to complete, and we’d be extremely grateful if you could fill it out after trying the game!

Additionally, based on the feedback from this week, our team has been busy making various tweaks and optimizations. We are actively testing the adjustments and plan to release an update later today. Detailed patch note is included at the end of this message.

Next, we will continue to sync the updates in our developer logs. If you are interested in Mahjong and deck-building games, don't forget to add "Aotenjo" to your wishlist. And of course, feel free to join our official Discord community![discord.gg]

1. Increased the scale speed of Infinite Challenge beyond East Wind +3 to avoid excessively long runs.
   
2. Slightly raised the score requirements for South Wind rounds (stages 5-8).
   
3. Malachite Vase Adjustments:
   
   • When in possession of a Malachite Vase, Copper Tile can now correctly be considered as any type of Mineral Tile by the Collector’s Amulet.
     
   • Copper Tile can now be considered as Plain Tile when a Malachite Vase is owned.
4. Ruler Adjustment: Lowered the level requirement and slightly lowered the multiplier it contributes (to ensure Rulers are useful before North-North, while slightly nerfing their performance in Infinite Challenge).
