Update 1 is the launch baseline for Drain the Lake. It introduces the core drain loop, the Bucket Wheel gacha, and the full set of checkpoints leading down to the Find My Phone ending.
Players should treat this update as the source of truth for which bucket tiers, badges, and Skill Tree nodes exist in the live build. Future patches will be summarized as separate news entries.
For a real game launch, replace this article with verified official patch notes, screenshots, and source links. The structure shown here is intentionally compact to demonstrate how future updates should be summarized.
