Version 3.5.5 Alpha Released

Footer attribution

The desktop footer was checked for all requested information:

• Offline save;
• Simulated live systems;
• © 2026;
• visible contact address marcoarndt@gmail.com;
• exact link target mailto:marcoarndt@gmail.com.

At 1366×768 the footer remained visible and did not create document-level horizontal overflow. The footer container can wrap safely at constrained desktop widths. Existing compact mobile rules remain unchanged.

Release identity

The following now identify the same Version 3.5.5 package:

• application header;
• Home build card and patch notes;
• build ID and diagnostics;
• browser cache tokens;
• patch chat announcement;
• README, Player Guide, Playtest Guide and itch.io descriptions.

Gameplay and save compatibility

Version 3.5.5 is a maintenance-only patch. It changes no combat, equipment, quest, reward, narrative, balance or progression rules.

The full 3.5.4 safety suite was repeated and confirmed:

• all 145 narrative quests can reach a complete state;
• all 76 bilingual scenes remain valid and referenced;
• all 145 completed quests receive exactly one reward-ledger entry;
• repeated synchronization grants no duplicate currency or materials;
• a damaged completed quest state is repaired without a repeated payout;
• migrations from Narrative Data Versions 0, 2, 3 and 4 remain idempotent;
• Save Schema 34 and the historical browser save key remain unchanged.

Journal and World State

Assertions retained coverage for:

• three tracked objectives;
• readable quest-row heights and accessible labels;
• filterable and archivable World State reports;
• report archival without changes to Raid, Abyss, Map or Labyrinth counters;
• localized German narrative completion messages;
• Journal and World State at 130% interface scale.

Responsive matrix

All 27 main routes were rendered at:

• 1920×1080
• 1366×768
• 1180×650
• 390×844
• 320×720

This produced 135 route/viewport combinations. Assertions covered nonempty content, document overflow, duplicate DOM IDs and visible unnamed buttons.

Content, assets and syntax

• 2,483 narrative and localization assertions passed.
• 19 local asset references resolved.
• 18 raster images decoded successfully.
• 7 SVG files parsed successfully.
• data.js, narrative.js, playtest.js and game.js passed Node syntax validation.

Remaining external targets

Firefox, Safari, actual iOS and Android hardware, browser audio policies and a long-duration human playthrough remain external test targets for Version 3.6 Beta.
