Hey, Backpackers!
A new update is here, and with it with two highlights we're excited to share with you:

[h3] Tote’s magical re-rework[/h3]
The Tote rework continues! With your feedback on the latest changes, we added a few more items for her to use, as well as improved abilities: now you can do damage based on the amount of carvings in your bag, while discarding them.

She also got two new skins and looks absolutely magical now! 🪄



[h3] Twitch integration is live[/h3]
Let your chat help you, or, more likely, mess with you as you storm the dungeons! Your viewers can now vote for items that you get as combat rewards. We're trying out Twitch integration with items right now, but we’re excited to expand it to different aspects of gameplay soon! You can enable Twitch integration in the options menu!

We hope you’ll like the new new Tote and have lots of fun with your Twitch audience!
