Notes

  • Found in a TDEV auctioned off at Yahoo Japan
  • Game is 81 days before release.
  • There is a DEBUG menu in Options when pausing. (Not sure what combo triggers the debug camera when enabled...


  • The intro has a different song.
  • The warning looks different.
  • Some elements across the tracks are slightly different or not added.
  • NPCs talk instead of just cheering like release.
  • Many little differences can be found across the game but the title isn't significant enough to make a deep dive.
    • Its just a bit less polished than release.
    • UI sounds
    • Lighting
    • Debris disappears instead of exploding into trashy confetti.
