Extraction Mission Additions & Changes

1. Extraction points now spawn randomly at pre-configured locations across the map.

3. After completing Soul Orb delivery / score / time objectives, interacting with the extraction point will unlock an additional defense mission.
4. Once the defense mission countdown ends, the extraction point becomes interactive and allows extraction.
5. The defense mission fails if the protection point is destroyed. Players can re-interact with the extraction point to restart the defense mission until it is successfully completed.

Future Development Plan

There is still a great deal of content to refine during the Early Access phase. We will continue to read every piece of feedback from the test community and Steam reviews, and keep improving the game. All Celestial Masters are welcome to leave your suggestions in the community and test groups, to help us polish this Chinese folklore exorcism game together.

The mountain gate stands open. We await all Celestial Masters to enter with your talismans.
