Whispers of the Eyeless – Tomorrow’s Patch and the Path Forward

The next step in Whispers of the Eyeless begins tomorrow. Patch 0.4.1 is bringing tweaks, buffs, and fixes that touch nearly every part of the game. It’s all about smoothing the journey through Aranthor, making choices feel more impactful, and keeping your momentum going as you rise in power.

Early fights will be less punishing, blessings and counter builds will pack more punch, and experience gains will ensure progress never feels like a grind. Gearing up gets less tedious, dungeon rewards feel more rewarding, and combat tweaks open new strategies for your Prophet to explore.

There’s still work to do!

Here's a brief preview of what's coming tomorrow.

  • Sanctum Overhaul: Costs trimmed, Prophet Sacrifices buffed, and Callings reworked to offer more benefits without the downsides.
  • Combat Adjustments: Enemy damage reduced in early areas, blessings rebalanced for more impactful effects, and armor affixes upgraded.
  • Progression Boosts: Experience gains increased across the board, and dungeon rewards replaced with tiered equipment to make every run feel worthwhile.
  • Bug Fixes: From crashes to misaligned notifications, tomorrow’s patch tidies up some rough edges.


We'll have a more detailed post with our roadmap soon but here's some of what we're focusing on in the short-term.

  • Expanding Content: A longer campaign, new maps, enemies, mini-bosses, and more.
  • Combat Variety: Rebalancing mechanics to make gearing more intuitive and strategies more diverse.
  • Fairer RNG: Adding systems to ensure unpredictability feels exciting, not punishing.
  • UI Clarity: Improving in-game explanations and tooltips to make every mechanic accessible and transparent.
This update is a step forward, but we know it’s not the last. The campaign is still short, Shards mode needs depth, and the third game mode remains on the horizon. We’re already updating the roadmap based on your input, and tomorrow’s patch is just the beginning.

Whispers of the Eyeless: A Prophet's Primer
Whispers of the Eyeless is a dark fantasy strategy RPG where you build a cult, unleash divine powers, and endure psychological trials. Command disciples, outwit enemies in tactical turn-based battles, and determine the fate of Aranthor as you awaken the Dead Gods — Wrath, Desire, and Madness.

Tactical Turn-Based Combat: Every move matters in the brutal conflicts of Aranthor. Plan your actions carefully, as both health and sanity hang by a thread. The art reflects the psychological toll and the high stakes of every encounter.
Cult Management: The Hall of the Faithful lets you oversee your disciples. Manage their health, sanity, and traits as you send them on missions to expand your influence and fulfill the will of the Dead Gods.
Dungeon Exploration: Events like 'The Office' test your resolve and strategy. Will you meditate to regain sanity, or press forward for greater rewards? Every choice alters your disciples' fate and the resources you command.
Fate’s Mirror: Roguelite Challenges: In Fate’s Mirror, cultists are tested against randomized scenarios. Unlock shards that reshape the game with new modifiers, powers, and playstyles, ensuring no two runs are ever the same.
Base Building & Customization: The Sanctum, your ever-expanding bastion of power in Aranthor. Upgrade rooms like the Reliquary to craft cursed relics or the Hall of Faith to train disciples. Your choices shape its layout and functionality, but every expansion risks exposure to the Living Gods—especially in Fate’s Mirror, where strategic upgrades play a crucial role in roguelite runs.

Handcrafted Art: The hand-drawn art brings Aranthor’s decay and desperation to life. Bold, intricate visuals enhance the game’s roguelite loop, ensuring every run feels uniquely tied to the city’s haunting atmosphere. The details—etched in shadow and light—immerse you in the grim world of Wrath, Desire, and Madness.
