Patch 1.26 Preview

As the speed of completing the Ritual varies greatly among players of different levels, we added an offering amount option in room settings so that players can adjust the number of offerings according to their needs and game pace.

Besides, we noticed that the behavior of the Possessed still cannot meet our expectations. Thus, this update includes some balance adjustments for Possessed together with some function optimizations.

Details are as followed.

[h3]Balance:[/h3]
● The prices of Wooden Bat, Corrupted Crystal Core, Bird and Amulet of Telepathy decrease to 10.
● The evil energy gain of using one Corrupted Crystal Core increases to 25.
【Possessed energy recharge adjustment】
● The evil energy retained from not killing anyone during Crimson Dream increases from 75 to 85.
● Possessed now can gain more evil energy per second.
● Transformed Possessed can no longer gain evil energy during Crimson Dream.

[h3]Function optimization:[/h3]
● Curse Skull now becomes recharged ability. Curse energy will be fully recharged every 90 seconds(maximum accumulate 3 times). Curse Skull is removed from the shop.
This adjustment aims for helping the Possessed play against the Survivors more easily.
● Room settings: added offering amount selection.
【Adjustments for Amulet of Telepathy】
● The player who owns Amulet of Telepathy cannot be traced.
● Amulet of Telepathy can prevent the owner from being cursed once. It will be broken after this prevention.
● Notification will pop up when Amulet of Telepathy is broken.
● Shapeshifter can shift during Crimson Dream.
● The action of placing the Lantern and the Bird has been sped up.

[h3]Arts:[/h3]
● Added a cloud of smoke at the place where the Possessed disappeared after teleportation.
● Added a cyclic screen image effect during the period of Shapeshifter shift to other players.

[h3]Bug fixes:[/h3]
● Fixed a bug that the invisible player becomes visible when Crimson Dream starts.
● Fixed a bug that players can be seen through chests.
● Fixed a bug that the player can trigger the effect of Corrupted Crystal Core several times.

Patch 1.25 Notes

Patch 1.24 Preview

To make the gameplay more diverse and playful, we design a new occupation, “Shapeshifter”, for the Possessed.

Besides, based on the recent feedback from our players, we have noticed that it is a bit hard to gather 8 players to start a game. Thus, we decided to come up with a beginner mode. In this mode, only 5 players are needed to start a game.

More details are as follows.

[h2]New features:[/h2]
● New Possessed occupation: Shapeshifter.
Shapeshifter can shift to any player in the game (including Shapeshifter) at any time. After updating this version, each game will have two Possessed with Teleport and Shift abilities respectively. The Possessed with Shift ability will not be able to teleport after Crismon Dream.

● New Beginner mode: Only 5 players are needed to start the game.
1. Survivors need to complete 4 rounds of Ritual. The number of offerings needed by each round is reduced respectively.
2. The result of the first discussion is execution instead of tie-up.
3. There are four Survivors and one Possessed(with teleport ability).
4. Certain items are not allowed to be sold in this mode.

[h2]Balance: [/h2]
● The amount of Faith gained from Consecration and Desecration decreases from 16 to 12.
● The amount of Faith gained from completing the Ritual decreases from 8 to 0.
● The price of backpack increases from 15 to 20.
● The price of EMF increases from 10 to 15.
● The price of Corrupted Crystal Core decreases from 20 to 15.

[h2]Function optimization:[/h2]
● Players can hold nothing in their hand by scrolling the mouse pulley
● Possessed are allowed to use items at the interval between the end of Crismon Dream and the start of Dawn.

[h2]Bug fixes:[/h2]
● Fixed a bug that the Possessed suddenly put their hands down during the process of transforming
● Fixed a bug that the duration of scene switching from voting result to execution animation is too long
● Fixed a bug that players cannot mark their location during the discussion
● Fixed a display bug that microphone icons of all players start flashing when someone clicks the ready button
