Cozy Game Restoration Demo Patch 3 Fixes Localization and UI Overlaps

Demo Patch 3 for Cozy Game Restoration resolves missing Japanese and non-English characters, stops tooltips from blocking mouse clicks, and splits the tutorial triggers.

Demo Patch 3 arrives for Cozy Game Restoration with targeted fixes for UI display errors, text rendering bugs, and progression blocks.

Localization and Interface Fixes

Non-English characters now render correctly instead of appearing as pink squares, and localization support has been added to the load slots menu. UI popups no longer spawn directly over the cursor to block clicks. Booklet close buttons have been relocated to the end of the tab menu to prevent them from disappearing on certain machines.

Tutorial and Progression Changes

The cleaning tutorial no longer repeats if players exit a game early without entering the game room. The tutorial is now split into two distinct parts so completing the first step marks it as finished. The collection room now displays an information popup explaining the game room mechanics at the end.

Item and Cart Adjustments

The Toro 2 epic cart has been changed from PAL to NTSC. This adjustment addresses tool strength limitations during the demo phase where epic rarity cartridges are difficult to clear. Additionally, the feature to highlight cleaned games in the booklet underwent a temporary adjustment and fix cycle.

Why this patch matters

This update fixes immediate display and progression snags in the demo, making menus and text readable while smoothing out early tutorials.
