Playtest Update

Hello everyone,

We’re hard at work on Of Lies and Rain and want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing Discord community for helping us polish the game and fix a lot of bugs. Your support means the world to us!

We added some great new enemies to the game.



Please welcome phtirus, a scorpion like creature, we should have just called it scorpion, don't even remember why it's called pthritus really, but we had this one in mind for a while now and so it basically looks like a scorpion but it's called pthirus instead. Apologies for the weird name!



We have also enlarged the Jelly enemy family, we now have MotherJelly and BabyJelly, the family is complete.
The little ones will hatch from eggs scattered across the ravaged world of Of Lies and Rain,
As for Mother Jelly, she brings the same slimy combat style as the regular Jellies, but with more health and bigger, deadlier projectiles to dodge.

Some other updates to the playtest include:

- dataworld have now dataworld looking hands
- you have now a way to read collected memories, just tap your watch.
- secondary hand now doesn;t automatically grab the weapon but you need to grab instead to hold it with 2 hands.
- no limit on machine gun fire in the dataworld
- Fixed a bug that made some levels look too bright
- added rain in the open levels
- Hits in the squid weak point now deal more damage and we changed its attack to make it more deadly.
- added memories in the last levels.
- many bug fixes

Thanks for following along as we continue to build this game—we’ll keep you posted with more updates soon!
