New patch with ch-ch-ch-ch-changes & fixes!
Hello everyone!
We have a new patch for you – and it’s addressing a lot of problems you’ve reported over the past few weeks. There’s one important thing about this patch we need to say, though:
We’ve implemented a lot of visual upgrades (most importantly: a new lightning system) so the game is prettier than ever. We’ve also made a lot of improvements in terms of the game’s optimization – HOWEVER – for this patch we’ve been optimizing only the “Ultra” setting.
So the important thing we need you to know is that:
So now the Combat UI should be more intuitive, clearer, and prettier than before. But we're not done yet and next in line we've got, for example, a new system for handling the visual representation of passive skills/runestones that you have working in combat. But that's the next step and we'll show it to you... soon ;)
We've also fixed a lot of visual effects in combat so it should be more "juicy" now. We're not done with this either, but it's a start!

We have a new patch for you – and it’s addressing a lot of problems you’ve reported over the past few weeks. There’s one important thing about this patch we need to say, though:
We’ve implemented a lot of visual upgrades (most importantly: a new lightning system) so the game is prettier than ever. We’ve also made a lot of improvements in terms of the game’s optimization – HOWEVER – for this patch we’ve been optimizing only the “Ultra” setting.
So the important thing we need you to know is that:
- If the game ran well on your PC, it should work much better now.
- If the game ran poorly or you were playing on low, you might experience some issues – our testing machine crashed and we weren’t able to replace the necessary parts in time (COVID-related shortages).
- We've finally implemented the first version of our new Combat UI. We're not done yet, but we're really happy that after all this time we've managed to fix a lot of issues we've had with this screen.
- We've fixed the way Energy is displayed, what happens after you run out of it, the placement of your ultimate skill, the placement of items, and so on.
- We've also decided to get rid of ALL statuses related to Armor and Damage buffs/debuffs. Instead of showing 16 different stats (like: "-5 dmg", "+10 arm", "-5% dmg") all of these buffs and debuffs are now automatically calculated, dynamically changing, and permanently visible under everyone's health bar.
So now the Combat UI should be more intuitive, clearer, and prettier than before. But we're not done yet and next in line we've got, for example, a new system for handling the visual representation of passive skills/runestones that you have working in combat. But that's the next step and we'll show it to you... soon ;)
We've also fixed a lot of visual effects in combat so it should be more "juicy" now. We're not done with this either, but it's a start!
- We've reworked the Wyrdness buff/debuff and so we've added 30 new Wyrdcards that are randomly granted to the player based on their wyrdcandle burn level during the fight. Some of them will have positive effects, some of them negative.
Bugfixes:
- We've fixed the issue with unlimited Healing Mixtures available at the Lost Soul
- We've fixed some issues with save files (it should be even rarer now to get a note that your "save file is corrupted")
- Fixed wealth bonus with corruption level scaling
- Blood Altar shouldn't let you sacrifice health for a level up when you're at max level
- Countess will properly take your blood now in exchange for runestones
- Blacksmith shouldn't miss his textures now
- Necromancer shouldn't get Blood Mage's summon cards anymore
- Pathfinder's additional Energy meter should work well now
- Fixed the issue when, if low on health, players got stuck at the interaction with the Witch
Changes/fixes:
- Quest cards were ALL reworked, renamed, and removed as a Boss reward. You pick 1 out of 3 randomized (and free) quest cards at the Lost Soul now.
- Using "Reroll" now gives you only 2 cards to choose from instead of 3
- We've fixed that placeholder underwear characters were wearing in character creation and tutorial
- We've added a "MGS-like Warning !" when something happens in wyrdness (to be utilized more in the future)
