ποΈ Act 3 is now available! Update 0.4.0
Hello Inkborns! Our first Major Update introducing Act 3 has just landed. Here is an overview of all the additions and improvements now available at your fingertips! πͺ
[h2]The Shattered Isles[/h2]
An area that completes a full run cycle. A once whole land now splintered into drifting fragments. Find your way to the Boss and claim your first victory.
[h2]New enemies[/h2]
Act 3 brings a full wave of fresh, dangerous paper foes. Each one introduces new patterns that challenge how you plan turns and react under pressure. Meet them in battle, learn how they behave, and add their pages to your Bestiary as you master their tricks.
[h2]New random events[/h2]
More choices in every run. Some are helpful, some deceptive, and a few are both depending on how you play your cards. Our community has been looking for more ways to recover during runs, so the new Ink Donation Point and Tapemaster events should be a welcome sight.
[h2]New Town upgrades[/h2]
Your Town receives new improvements that boost runs, unlock conveniences, and open more strategic planning between journeys.
[h2]Multistage events[/h2]
These events now unfold across several steps. Decisions branch into new encounters, rewards, or consequences. They bring more narrative bite and more long-term risk versus reward choices.
[h2]More Ideas[/h2]
A large expansion to the Idea system means more routes to shape your playstyle. These variants introduce new synergies and allow for more unusual combinations.
[h2]Difficulty modifiers for standard Profiles[/h2]
After your first completed run, you can start raising Difficulty Levels. Mix and match the modifiers you like to sculpt your ideal challenge and grab Soulink along the way.
[h2]Soulink expanded[/h2]
You earn 3 Soulink for the first time Boss kills and another 10 by progressing through the mentioned Difficulty Levels.
