0.8.0 Beta Update

[p]Greetings from Team Tapas![/p][p]
Thank you, as always, for supporting us and patiently waiting for our next update.[/p][p][/p][p]Before the official release of 0.8.0, we will be conducting a beta test to hear your feedback. We hope many of you will participate as we listen closely to your feedback to make the game even better![/p][p]

To stabilize the Garden, help the troubled Swamp Witch, Maydel, solve her problem and invite her to the tea party. Of course, like other domains in the Garden, Maydel’s swamp won’t be particularly friendly to Sil.[/p][p][/p][h3]Gameplay[/h3][p]Unlike previous chapters, this epilogue is structured as a single map. Countless waves of enemies and successive mid-bosses will block Sil’s path. Defeat enemies within the time limit to earn greater rewards, and complete your build to take down the main boss![/p][p][/p][h3]New Weapon: Singing Scissors[/h3][p]After helping Maydel solve her problem, she will gift Sil with a new weapon, Singing Scissors, as a token of gratitude. When activated, Singing Scissors will perform ranged attacks for a set duration. We hope this will inspire new build combinations.[/p][p][/p][h3]New Special Ability[/h3][p]In Maydel’s swamp domain, a special ability powered by Maydel becomes available. It can be used via a new action button and enhances Sil’s abilities in various ways. This ability is a unique system available only in Maydel’s swamp domain.[/p][p][/p][p]※ When updating to version 0.8.0, any ongoing runs will be reset.[/p][p][/p][h2]New Content[/h2][p]We have added a new epilogue chapter.[/p][p][/p][p]※ After updating the game, if you continue with existing save data where you have cleared Chapter 5, you can interact with the book in Sil’s House to open the Chapter Selection UI and proceed from there.[/p][p][/p][h2]Balance Changes[/h2][p]We found that completing Dual Synergies was too difficult, so we have reduced the tag requirement from 8 to 7. As a result, the maximum level of passive traits for the five attributes has been lowered from 5 to 4.[/p][p][/p][p]We also found that building up the Thread, Flower, and Crow passive attributes was a bit difficult, so we increased their early-game damage and adjusted their growth rate. Overall, Thread, Flower, and Crow damage has increased by about 37% at 6 tags, and by about 12% at their maximum tag count (previously 8, now 7).[/p][p][/p][h3]Attributes[/h3]
