New lighting system that deepens contrast, shadows, and atmosphere.
Rebalanced color grading to amplify emotion and mood.
Richer shaders and new environmental VFX to make rituals feel alive.
Camera shake and subtle screen warping during combat and spellcasting for extra impact.

The world is now more cursed—and more gorgeous—than ever before.

• Full PlayStation DualSense Support

The whispers reach across dimensions—and platforms:
Controller rumble now reflects in-game feedback with more nuance and weight.
Official PlayStation glyphs are displayed across all menus and UI when using DualSense.

Hello Callers,

The Beta Testing Phase continues in full force, and thanks to your incredible feedback, we’re summoning some of our biggest updates yet. We're thrilled to announce the arrival of the first procedural region in the game:

• Welcome to the Desert of Saj’enar
A cursed, windswept wasteland filled with secrets and sacrifice:

Hunt down scattered Villagers and Haywitch elites to claim their blood and offerings.

Mine Saltrock deposits to gain rare materials needed for higher-tier rituals.

Steal food supplies to keep your cult thriving amid the endless dunes.

Discover ancient Altars, each offering unique sacrifice options that twist the fate of your cult in strange and powerful ways.

It’s dangerous, chaotic, and ever-changing—exactly the kind of place Imo’tar would love to call home.

• Controller Icon Support (PlayStation & Xbox)
We’ve upgraded input feedback across the board:

You’ll now see the correct PlayStation or Xbox button icons on every screen based on your active controller.

Menus, tutorials, tooltips, and combat prompts all dynamically show your current input method—no more guessing.

This brings a massive improvement to controller immersion and makes gameplay more intuitive than ever.

• Keybinding Customization That Sticks
Your controls, your way—now with more reliability:

Fully rebind keyboard and controller buttons right in-game.

Changes persist across sessions and are shown immediately

All keybind displays now reflect your choices accurately, even during your very first ritual.

• First-Time Controller Setup – Now Smart
Plug in and play, without the headaches:

Your controller is now automatically recognized at launch, loading the correct defaults.

Even first-time players using controllers will see appropriate button icons and working input.

• Bug Fixes & Behind-the-Sands Improvements
Sharpening the ritual, one patch at a time:

Fixed a binding issue in the in-game settings panel that caused inputs to get stuck on "PRESS KEY TO ASSIGN."

Smoothed input transitions and eliminated lag spikes in combat-heavy scenes.

Improved performance when loading large procedural regions.

Hello Callers,

The Beta Testing phase is underway, and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the valuable feedback received. As this is a complex game, there are many aspects to refine and polish, and your input is truly appreciated.

I’m excited to announce all the newly implemented features:

🟢 Sacrifice Minions
Minions can now be sacrificed to activate a unique ability specific to that minion.

The sacrifice-activated ability is displayed on the Minion’s Card info. Here are some examples:

Abominations will spawn three attacking Rotting Worms when sacrificed.
A Spellcasting Minion will grant nearby Minions a Spell-Resistance shield upon sacrifice.
A Voodoo Slave will summon a Taunting Totem that attracts nearby enemies.

🟢 Introducing Idols
Idols are statues that spawn during certain levels. They are procedurally placed throughout the map and can be unlocked by interacting with specific NPCs and completing levels.

Destroying an Idol grants powerful effects. Some examples:

The Idol of the Butcher gives the Cult Leader a new melee AoE attack that causes enemies to bleed out.
The Idol of the Tarantula spawns a poisonous spider to fight for you.

🟢 Expanded Main Attacks for the Cult Leader
Since the Cult Leader will frequently fight alongside their Minions, I’ve introduced new main attacks:

Massive Death Bolts that spawn skeletons when an enemy is slain.
Powerful melee slashes that stun enemies.

🟢 Improved Controller Targeting System
While the mouse & keyboard system functions as intended, I’ve been refining the controller experience to make commanding hordes of undead smoother.

The system now features a new Indicator that auto-targets enemies, making it easier to command Minions during battle.
