Dear visitors,
Welcome to Identity V!
To ensure smooth operation, Identity V will issue a hotfix on Thursday at 08:00 (UTC+8).
This week's maintenance will be replaced by a hotfix. The hotfix will begin at 08:00 on September 17, 2026 (UTC+8), during which most of the game modes will remain available, including Quick Match, Custom Mode, Events, and Logic Path. (Note: The entrance to Ranked Match will be closed temporarily during the hotfix. However, Ranked Matches already in progress will not be affected.)
After 10:30 (UTC+8), players will have to exit the game to receive the latest patch. All game modes will be back online once the latest patch is installed (may be subject to postponement should there be any issues).
After 11:00 (UTC+8) (may be postponed should there be any issues), players who haven't installed the latest patch will be forced out of the server, and they will be able to play again after restarting the game client.

"Chasing Light" Event Begins
About
The Oletus Games are about to begin. A group of spirited athletes are stepping onto the field one after another, embarking on their journey of sweat and chasing their dreams toward the light. The "Chase the Light, Pursue Dreams" event is now live! Visitors can check in and experience team jersey ordering, athlete development, and stadium gameplay. Take part for a chance to obtain the A-rarity Furniture - Eternal Moment and the all-character Pet - Shao Shao. You can also redeem theme series rewards such as A-rarity Costumes (choose one of Journalist, Lucky Guy, or Evil Reptilian), the Unique-rarity Furniture - Podium, and theme series personalized actions, Portraits, Emotes, and more.
Event Period: September 17, 2026 (after maintenance) - October 7, 2026, 23:59
Training Plan
Visit the Athletes' Lounge to complete your daily check-in. Consecutive check-ins grant [Memory Sphere - Previous Seasons] x10, Clues, Movement, Music Notes, Fragments, Dynamic Sticker, and more. Complete daily check-ins to choose a Trainer who will explain the basic rules and core attributes of the day's event.
Event Period: September 17, 2026 (after maintenance) - October 7, 2026, 23:59 | Retro Check-in starts on September 24 at 00:00 and costs 10 Inspirations.
Athlete Development
From the Coach's perspective, choose an athlete and experience their story to help them prepare for competition.
Before starting a story, select a Trainer. When selecting Training for the corresponding attribute, the Trainer's assistance provides an attribute bonus.
Athlete development progresses by rounds.
On Training Days, choose one of three actions: [Train], [Rest], or [Field Trip].
[Train] offers six attribute-specific training options and consumes Action Points.
[Rest] lets you rest and restores a large amount of Action Points.
[Outing] triggers outing events that grant certain buffs.
Rest-day rounds trigger the exclusive stories of the corresponding athletes.
At the end of the story, you will receive the athlete's results across six attributes. Each athlete can retain only one set of development results. After additional development sessions, you can choose whether to replace the existing results with the new ones.
After completing an athlete's story once, you will unlock the requirements for claiming that character's costume, as well as the character's Quick Mode.
Claim the costume from the Character Archive. Costumes in this series support custom dyeing, and claiming a costume also grants 10 Muse Color Charts for dyeing. (Up to 5 can be claimed during the event, sharing claim attempts with the Referee characters.)
Athletic Talents
Participate in various activities to earn Lucky Clovers, the event currency. See the event page for details. All tasks can be completed repeatedly. The daily Lucky Clover earning limit increases each day, with a total of 2,800 Lucky Clovers available during the event.
Spend Lucky Clovers to unlock staff talents. Talents affect various values in story mode.
Each staff member's final talent unlocks on September 24, 2026 (after maintenance). Unlock all of a staff member's talents to qualify for their B-rarity Costume.
Claim the costume from the Character Archive. Costumes in this series support custom dyeing, and claiming a costume also grants 10 Muse Color Charts for dyeing. (Up to 5 can be claimed during the event, sharing claim attempts with the athlete characters.)
Unlock all talents to obtain the [B-rarity Pet] Whistle, available to all characters.
Venue
The event features three modes: Individual Events, Team Events, and Custom Events. The difficulty of certain actions will depend on your athletes' attributes.
Individual Mode: Available from after the September 17, 2026 maintenance until October 7, 23:59:59. Each match features 8 players competing together. Events unlock gradually over time: Discus, Archery, and the 100m Sprint open on the first day; Martial Arts Tai Chi and High Jump are added at 00:00 (UTC+8) on the second day; Javelin and Triple Jump are added at 00:00 (UTC+8) on the third day, at which point all events are open.
Players can freely choose any unlocked event and assign athletes who have completed [Story Development] once to compete (some characters have event restrictions: "Fool's Gold" can only participate in High Jump, Naiad can only participate in Javelin, and "Cueist" can only participate in Archery). From the second week of the event, Referees who have unlocked all talents can also be assigned to compete ("Little Girl" and Photographer cannot participate in any event).
Team Events and Custom Events are available from September 24, 2026 (after maintenance) to October 7, 2026, 23:59, so please stay tuned.
Order Uniform
All B-rarity Costumes in this event support custom dyeing. You can change the character's hair and clothing colors, but not their skin tone or body parts.
After obtaining a costume, select [Custom Costume] on the costume page to open the dyeing interface. Dyeing areas are divided into the head, upper body, and lower body. Select an area to edit its colors.
Use preset colors for quick adjustments or move the color sliders to fine-tune hue and saturation. Some areas support gradient overlays. The results can be previewed in real time.
After confirming the colors, select a material from the library to add a decal to the specified clothing area. Decals come in two types: individual and edge. Individual decals support adjustments to position, size, and angle. Edge decals support density adjustments.
Save your color scheme when finished. All B-rarity Costumes in this event have six save slots by default. You can apply saved schemes with one click. Dyeing effects are applied immediately in the Wardrobe, Manor, outside matches, and during matches.
Sharing and downloading dye scheme codes is supported: copy the current code to send it to other Visitors. Go to the corresponding character's costume customization screen, tap Download, and enter a code shared by others to apply it. (Note: if the initial scheme is modified after the share code is generated, other Visitors importing it will also apply the latest scheme.)
Saving a dyeing scheme consumes [Muse Dye]. You can obtain [Muse Dye] by participating in event activities or by purchasing it with Inspirations in the dyeing interface.

During the event, Visitors can accumulate [Liric] through the following activities:
a. Earn 5 [Liric] on login and 1 [Liric] for every 15 minutes online.

Penalties for Violations
It has recently come to our attention that a small number of players have violated our Code of Conduct through delaying tactics, match-fixing, maliciously taunting the Hunter, intentionally losing, idling, playing negatively, using cheats, cheating in Blackjack mode, obstructing matchmaking in top-ranked matches, cheating in Copycat mode, displaying aggressive attitudes, using extreme language, and creating maps in Scribbled Ideas that violate our Creator Agreement—all of which significantly affect the experience of other players. We have begun issuing penalties for these violations in order to provide a healthy gaming environment for everyone. We also encourage you to use the in-game reporting system when encountering any of the behaviors above. Let us work together to maintain order and integrity in the Manor.
