Demo End Screens#

Three end screens from the demo that feature Yumo can be found. They are named "img_11END_x", the x being the texture's (supposed) language.

The English screen has the text "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!" at the top, while the Japanese and Taiwan screens lack that message. Instead, they have a speech bubble coming from Yumo that features Japanese text.

Also, the English screen has a resolution of 1920×1200, while the other two are 3840×2160.
