Patch Notes - Week 1
Thank you to everyone who has jumped into the Ritual of Deceit 2 since we went Free to Play on 13th March! It’s so exciting to see so many of you exploring the depths of the Game Master’s depravity, and sharing your thoughts and ideas on how we can continue to refine the game.
Today’s update comes with a plethora of fixes and small additions based on your feedback since the F2P launch - we will be hard at work collating your further feedback to address over the coming weeks.
As for what is upcoming, you can check out our post on Titles and The Crypt for some information as to what will be in our next update ahead of our console launch on April 3rd.
We look forward to seeing you deceive and manipulate, and ascend the Ritual of Deceit!
