Update 0.47 - Eldritch Equilibrium: Stats, Health & Damage Overhaul

Greetings, Intrepid Seekers of the Unknown,

Prepare yourselves for an update that delves deeper into the arcane mechanics of our game, bringing forth new balances and refinements that echo the maddening precision of the Great Old Ones themselves. Here are the forbidden secrets uncovered in this latest update:
[h2]Gameplay[/h2]
  • Damage Precision: Damage and health values have been scaled to allow for more granular increments, ensuring better balancing possibilities in the future.
  • Weapon Unveiling: Unlocked weapons now manifest upon the ground at the beginning of each level, awaiting your grasp.
  • Eldritch Evasion: Players can now dodge to extinguish flames, a vital skill in evading fiery doom.
  • Stats Clarity: The stats have been aligned to provide more logical values, allowing you to gauge their effects with greater clarity.
  • No More Mimics: Removes chest from beach, just to be safe...

[h2]Bugfixes[/h2]
  • Resolved an issue where the book would remain open if a run ended with it open.
  • Fixed a bug allowing players to jump outside the level boundaries.
  • Corrected an issue where the incantation button was auto-selected when using a keyboard.
  • The mouse no longer ghostly hovers buttons, preventing unintended interactions.
  • The upgrade button is now hidden on the client when there isn't enough gold, preventing false hope.

[h2]Other[/h2]
  • The feedback button now present an opt-in before leaving the game and links directly to the Steam forum for communal discourse.


May these changes serve you well as you navigate the eldritch horrors that await. Your journey into the unknown continues to evolve, guided by the whispers of the ancient and unfathomable.

Stay vigilant and tread carefully,

- Daniel & Per at The Fine Arc
