Minor Update #2

A few small changes from the previous release, including a bug fix pointed out by PHOBIE on the Steam discussion forum, thank you!

Full list of changes for version 0.0.15:

  • Fixed ranger sometimes seeing you even when you're invisible.
  • Made the tutorial mention that the locations of treasures change from game to game starting the first time you play, instead of waiting until the second time, so that you know better what to pay attention to in your first playthrough.
  • Made hermit give you more useful information about the mysterious box when you haven't discovered its secret yet.
  • Graphical version: Fixed how the "You came from this direction" tooltip acts in the secret tunnel.


Thank you! ❤️
