This update adds two major things to the Steam Build. Firstly, it adds the Winter Event, which begins on the 15th of Winter and ends at the end of that week. You'll be able to fight off dastardly pirates attempting to steal the provisions meant for the poor and needy, as well as celebrate the coldest nights of the year together with your friends and family in Cloverton!
Secondly we've added the 5th Floor to the Savannah Dungeon. If you've never traveled to Tro's Lab before, then here's your chance to do so now, the location of Tro's Lab's entrance has been moved to the rear of Floor 5, and even if you've completed Tro's lab previously, you'll be able to access and experience Floor 5, complete with giant fuzzy centaurs, cute mason sculptors, and chatty treasure chests!
In addition- the game can be gotten on a discount for 25% off until the end of the Steam Winter Sale on January 5th!
Saves are compatible
