This new secret boss is designed for veteran Travelers who no longer feel threatened by the Hunters. Only the well-prepared will be able to defeat her.

Additionally, we've implemented several features based on your feedback from Discord and Steam. We're also keeping track of suggestions that haven't been implemented yet. We'll do our best to incorporate necessary changes into the game. Thank you for helping us make a better game!

Furthermore, in our next update planned for mid-January, we'll be implementing experimental patches to improve late-game balance. Please share your thoughts about late-game gameplay on Discord and Steam! We'll carefully consider all the feedback you've provided for this upcoming update.
